Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: CaPIMT1
• Gene Name: L-isoaspartyl methyltransferase 1
• Genome:
• Species: Cicer arietinum

Functional Descriptions:

• PROTEIN L-ISOASPARTYL METHYLTRANSFERASE1 (CaPIMT1) from chickpea mitigates oxidative stress-induced growth inhibition of Escherichia coli.
• We demonstrate that the transcript of CaPIMT1 is distributed across the organs with maximum levels in seed and is also enhanced under various environmental stress conditions.
• The activity is found to be elevated towards high temperature and pH conditions. Escherichia coli expressing CaPIMT1 show greater tolerance to oxidative stress than E. coli without CaPIMT1.
• Taken together, our results suggest that PIMT from chickpea shows a distinct pattern of expression and may have a specific role in stress adaptation apart from seed.
