CIARC_P005 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

CIARC_P005 (atpE) in chickpea (Cicer arietinum) on chromosome NC_011163.1 encodes the epsilon subunit of the chloroplast F1F0 ATP synthase, a component of the proton-transporting ATP synthase complex that uses a rotational mechanism for ATP synthesis. The protein contains ATP synthase F1 epsilon subunit domains and binds ATP. It is localized to the chloroplast thylakoid membrane as part of the F1-F0 complex. The gene is associated with proton motive force-driven ATP synthesis. Related genes in other species link the family to photosynthetic energy conversion.
