ACO1 — Capsicum annuum

Summary

CaACO1 (T459_19967) on pepper chromosome 7 encodes an aconitate hydratase (aconitase) with intramolecular hydroxytransferase, 3-isopropylmalate dehydratase, aconitase, and mRNA 5'-UTR binding activities, and binds 4Fe-4S clusters, copper, ATP, and proteins. The gene is associated with the TCA cycle, citrate and isocitrate metabolism, the glyoxylate cycle, methionine metabolism, the SAM cycle, and glucosinolate anabolism. It is linked to regulation of salicylic acid-mediated signaling, leaf senescence, trichome morphogenesis, immune response, regulation of ROS metabolic process, virus-induced PTGS, and seedling development. Associations include ethylene sensitivity, root morphology, lateral root development, waterlogging stress tolerance, ethylene production, plant growth, gravitropic response, salt tolerance, and abiotic stress response. The protein localizes to mitochondria, chloroplast stroma, plastids, cytosol, plasmalemma, apoplast, plant-type cell wall, plant-type vacuole, and plasmodesmata.
