General Information

  • Identifier IPR040340
  • Description Chloroplast enhancing stress tolerance protein

Abstract

Chloroplast protein CEST, also known as Ycf3-interacting protein 1 (Y3IP1), cooperates with Ycf3 in the assembly of stable photosystem I units in the thylakoid membrane [ 1 ]. It also seems to induce tolerance to multiple environmental stresses and reduce photooxidative damage [ 2 ].
