CCSA — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PvCCSA (PHAVU_002G050101) on chromosome 2 of French bean encodes a protein belonging to the Cyt_c_biogenesis_CcsA/CcmC family, which is involved in cytochrome c assembly. The gene product is annotated with heme binding and cytochrome complex assembly, and is localized to the chloroplast thylakoid membrane and plasmalemma. PvCCSA is associated with these processes and localizations through ontology annotations. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to cytochrome c biogenesis and assembly, though this is not established for PvCCSA itself. No direct evidence of agronomic trait associations has been observed in this species.
