ATP6 — Capsicum annuum

Summary

CaATP6 (T459_25353) on pepper chromosome 10 encodes a mitochondrial F0 ATP synthase A subunit, a component of the proton-transporting ATP synthase complex and is associated with proton transporter activity and ATP synthesis via proton motive force. The gene localises to the mitochondrial inner membrane and F1-F0 complex. It is associated with biological processes including programmed cell death, cell death, homologous recombination, and dehiscence. Associations with cytoplasmic male sterility, male fertility, and germination rate have been reported. Studies of related sequences in other species connect the gene family to pollen fertility restoration traits.
