CIARC_P023 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

CIARC_P023 (atpI) on chickpea chromosome NC_011163.1 encodes a subunit of the F0 sector of ATP synthase, a proton-transporting ATP synthase with a rotational mechanism. The product is localised to the chloroplast thylakoid membrane, the F1-F0 complex, and the plasmalemma, and is associated with the biological process GO:0015979. The gene is linked to the related genes ATPI, ATP6, and LOC113787159. Sequence similarity to F-ATPase protein 6 in related genes in other species supports a conserved role in photosynthetic energy transduction. No direct evidence from chickpea itself establishes a specific agronomic trait association.
