Record overview

LMPD IDLMP011422
Gene ID828321
SpeciesArabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis)
Gene Namealternative oxidase protein IMMUTANS
Gene SymbolIM
SynonymsIM1; IMMUTANS; PLASTID TERMINAL OXIDASE; PTOX; T10I14.90; T10I14_90
Alternate namesalternative oxidase protein IMMUTANS
Chromosome4
EC Number1.10.3.11
SummarySimilar to mitochondrial alternative oxidase. im mutants have a variegated phenotype and fail to differentiate chloroplasts in the majority of their cells under high light intensity continuous illumination. The white tissues of immutans accumulate phytoene, a non-colored C40 carotenoid intermediate. This suggests that immutans controls, either directly or indirectly, the activity of phytoene desaturase (PDS), the enzyme that converts phytoene to zeta-carotene in higher plants. However, im is not the structural gene for PDS. It is located in the lumenar face of the thylakoid membrane. IM is expressed ubiquitously in plant tissues.
