Description
PM2 corresponds to the LEA3 protein. LEA proteins are known for their roles in plant embryogenesis, as important dessication-resistance factors. It has also been shown that they confer tolerance under several stress conditions in Escherichia coli. You can read more about it in our wiki and in several references, as, for example, the following: Liu et al. (2010) Curr Microbiol 60: 373-378.
PM2 can be useful as a general stress-resistance factor. It could improve survival under low or high temperatures, water stress and maybe other atypical conditions.
Notes
None

The PM2 protein comes from soybean (Glycine max L Merr.).
