ACO1 — Capsicum annuum

Summary

CaACO1 (T459_23936) on pepper chromosome 9 encodes an aconitase with intramolecular hydroxytransferase, 3-isopropylmalate dehydratase, and aconitase activities, binding 4Fe-4S clusters, metals, ATP, and mRNA 5'-UTRs. The gene is associated with the TCA cycle, citrate and isocitrate metabolism, the glyoxylate cycle, methionine metabolism, and the SAM cycle. It is linked to regulation of salicylic acid-mediated signaling, leaf senescence, trichome morphogenesis, immune response, reactive oxygen species metabolism, and seedling development. Associations include ethylene sensitivity, root morphology, lateral root development, gravitropic response, waterlogging stress tolerance, salt tolerance, and abiotic stress response. The protein localizes to mitochondria, chloroplast stroma, plastids, cytosol, plasmalemma, apoplast, cell wall, vacuole, and plasmodesmata.
