At3g07370: CHIP (CARBOXYL TERMINUS OF HSC70-INTERACTING PROTEIN)

Encodes AtCHIP, a new class of E3 ubiquitin ligases with three tetratricopeptide repeats and a U-box domain, structurally similar to the animal CHIP proteins. Plays an important role in plant cellular metabolism under temperature stress conditions. Functions as an E3 ubiquitin ligase of protein phosphatase 2A subunits and alters plant response to abscisic acid treatment.
