ADL5 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

CaADL5 (LOC101491582) on chickpea chromosome 6 encodes a dynamin-related protein with GTPase activity, GTP binding, microtubule binding, and protein binding functions, containing dynamin and P-loop NTPase domains. The gene is associated with mitochondrial fission and biogenesis, clathrin-mediated endocytosis, vesicle transport, cell division, and pollen maturation. Its product localizes to clathrin-coated vesicles, the ESCRT III complex, the cell plate, cell cortex, microtubules, plasmodesmata, the plasma membrane, and the cytoplasm. CaADL5 has been linked to shoot dry weight, manganese concentration, root length, plasma membrane maintenance, pollen viability, pollen development, cell expansion, mitochondrial morphogenesis, cytokinesis, and seed germination under abiotic stress. Related genes in other species are linked to pollen fertility and days to flowering.
