ACP — Pisum sativum

Summary

PsACP (PSAT3G103240) on garden pea chromosome 3LG5 encodes an acyl carrier protein (ACP) with acyl carrier activity, ubiquinone reductase activity, and protein kinase activity. It is associated with fatty acid and lipoate biosynthesis, oxidative phosphorylation (NADH to ubiquinone), and regulation of pollen tube growth. The protein localises to mitochondria, respiratory chain complex I, cytosol, plasma membrane, and nucleus. PsACP has been linked to abscisic acid sensitivity, stomatal closure time, root thickness, manganese sensitivity, disease tolerance, and salt tolerance. It is also connected to photorespiration, embryo development, and compromised immune response. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to seed weight, stearic and oleic acid content, delayed growth, and embryo lethality.
