ATPH — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_005G066100, designated PvATPH on French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) chromosome 5, encodes a protein with an ATP synthase F0 complex subunit C (proteolipid) domain, a component of the proton-transporting two-sector ATPase complex. The gene product possesses proton-transporting ATP synthase activity with a rotational mechanism and is localized to the chloroplast thylakoid membrane, where it is associated with proton motive force-driven ATP synthesis. Additionally, the protein has been linked to lipid binding. Related genes in other species connect the family to chloroplast ATP synthase function.
