atpH — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BVRB_8G195910 (atpH) in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris) on chromosome 8 encodes a subunit of the ATP synthase F0 complex, belonging to the ATP_synth_F0_csu_sf and F/V-ATP_Csub_sf families. The gene product is associated with proton-transporting ATP synthase activity, rotational mechanism, and lipid binding, and is localized to the chloroplast thylakoid membrane as part of the F1-F0 complex. It is linked to proton motive force-driven ATP synthesis, as well as phosphoglyceride metabolism, inositol phosphate metabolism, tRNA charging, phosphate metabolism, and glutathione metabolism. Related genes in other species link the family to chloroplast ATP synthase function.
