ATHSP101 (ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA HEAT SHOCK PROTEIN 101)
Functional description
Encodes ClpB1, which belongs to the Casein lytic proteinase/heat shock protein 100 (Clp/Hsp100) family. Involved in refolding of proteins which form aggregates under heat stress. Also known as AtHsp101. AtHsp101 is a cytosolic heat shock protein required for acclimation to high temperature.

This locus was originally annotated as encoding ClpB2 (also referred to as Hsp92.7), which belongs to the Casein lytic proteinase/heat shock protein 100 (Clp/Hsp100) family. However, according to Lee et al. (2007, Plant Journal, 49:115-127), there is no evidence for expression of an appropriate-sized mRNA from this locus. Re-annotation of the genome indicates that this locus potentially encodes a 68.8-kDa protein, containing only the N-terminal two thirds of the originally predicted open reading frame. This locus contains a 626-bp deletion in WS ecotype compared with the Col ecotype, which eliminates residues 1-86 of the predicted protein.
Encodes a chloroplast-targeted Hsp101 homologue. Functions as a molecular chaperone involved in plastid differentiation mediating internal thylakoid membrane formation and conferring thermotolerance to chloroplasts during heat stress. APG6 is constitutively expressed in the root tips, the organ boundary region, the reproductive tissues of mature plants where plastids exist as proplastids, and slightly in the stems and leaves. APG6 expression is upregulated in response to heat shock in various organs, but not in response to other abiotic stresses. Apg6 mutants have a pale-green phenotype.
Encodes a protein that is similar to ATP-dependent Clp protease ATP-binding subunit / ClpC. Involved in protein import into the chloroplast. May provide ATP source that drives the TIC (Translocon at the Inner envelope membrane of Chloroplasts) translocation machinery.
Encodes a nuclear encoded protein with similarity to Clpa regulatory subunit of CLP protease complex. The protein is localized to the chloroplast stroma. May function redundantly with TIC complex in chloroplast protein import.
Encodes PNP-A (Plant Natriuretic Peptide A). PNPs are a class of systemically mobile molecules distantly related to expansins; their biological role has remained elusive. PNP-A contains a signal peptide domain and is secreted into the extracellular space. Co-expression analyses using microarray data suggest that PNP-A may function as a component of plant defence response and SAR in particular, and could be classified as a newly identified PR protein.
a member of heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) gene family. Expressed in all tissues and abundant in root apical meristem, pollen and tapetum. Expression is NOT heat-induced but induced by IAA and NaCl.
