atp8 — Brassica juncea

Summary

BJUB03G22630S (atp8) in Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) on chromosome B03 encodes a YMF19-like protein that binds ATP and is associated with ATP anabolism and proton transmembrane transport. The product localises to the F1-F0 complex and mitochondrial membrane. This gene is associated with cytoplasmic male sterility. Related genes in other species link the family to EC 7.1.2.2, an ATP synthase-related enzyme activity, though this is not yet established in Indian mustard.
