NCBI Protein Information
heat shock protein 81-2
NCBI Summary
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. Interacts with HsfA1d in the cytosol and the nucleus and negatively regulates HsfA1d. Did not bind to AtHsfA4c.

UniProt Comments
Molecular chaperone. Involved in RPM1-mediated resistance. Component of the RPM1/RAR1/SGT1 complex. May stabilize RPM1 and protect it from SGT1-mediated degradation. Associates with RAR1 which may function as co-chaperone. Possesses ATPase activity (PubMed:14592967, PubMed:19487680). In the absence of heat shock, negatively regulates heat-inducible genes by actively suppressing heat shock transcription factor A1D (HSFA1D) function (PubMed:17965410). Involved in the induction of heat shock transcription factor A2 (HSFA2) expression in response to oxidative stress (PubMed:20147301). Required for stomatal closure and modulates transcriptional and physiological responses to abscisic acid (ABA) (PubMed:21586649). Regulates RPP4-mediated temperature-dependent cell death and defense responses (PubMed:24611624). May assist SGT1B in the formation of SCF E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes that target the immune receptors SNC1, RPS2 and RPS4 for degradation, to regulate receptor levels and avoid autoimmunity (PubMed:24889324).
