CIARC_P070 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

CIARC_P070 (ndhE) in chickpea encodes a subunit of the chloroplast NADH dehydrogenase complex, specifically the NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase chain 4L/K protein. The gene product possesses oxidoreductase activity acting on NAD(P)H with a quinone or similar compound as acceptor, and binds quinone. It localises to the chloroplast thylakoid membrane as part of the NADH dehydrogenase complex. The gene is associated with ATP synthesis coupled electron transport and the light reactions of photosynthesis. Related genes in other species link the family to proton-transporting ATP synthase activity (EC 7.1.1.-).
