PETA — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_002G278104, also known as PvPETA or PETA, encodes a cytochrome f-like protein containing a Cyt_f_TM domain and a rudimentary hybrid motif, with electron transfer activity, iron binding, and heme binding molecular functions. This gene is associated with leaf senescence and the biological process GO:0015979, and its product localizes to the chloroplast thylakoid membrane. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to CemA and PSI_Ycf4_assembly domains. In French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) on chromosome 2, PvPETA is linked to these processes, though direct functional evidence in this species is limited to the annotated molecular activities and localization.
