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.
