CIARC_P073 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

CIARC_P073 (ccsA) on chickpea chromosome NC_011163.1 encodes a cytochrome c biogenesis CcsA family protein. The gene product is annotated with heme binding and localises to the chloroplast thylakoid membrane and plasmalemma. It is associated with cytochrome complex assembly and the biological process GO:0015979. Studies of related genes in other species link the CcsA family to cytochrome c maturation and photosynthetic electron transport, though these functions are not directly established in chickpea. No trait-specific associations have been observed in this species.
