DARMORV10_A04P09350.1 — Brassica napus

Summary

DARMORV10_A04P09350.1 on chromosome A04 of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) encodes a cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 family protein, with cytochrome-c oxidase activity, heme binding, and metal binding. This gene is associated with mitochondrial electron transport from cytochrome c to oxygen, electron transport coupled proton transport, oxidative phosphorylation, and aerobic respiration. It is linked to pollen wall assembly, pollen development, systemic acquired resistance, and defense response. The encoded protein localizes to the respiratory chain complex IV and mitochondrial inner membrane. Associations with cytoplasmic male sterility, heterosis, and chlorophyll content have been noted. Related genes in other species link this gene to cytochrome-c oxidase activity (EC 7.1.1.9).
