Comment typeDescription
Alternative ProductsEvent=Alternative splicing; Named isoforms=2; Name=1; IsoId=B9DGD6-1; Sequence=Displayed; Name=2; IsoId=B9DGD6-2; Sequence=VSP_042326; Note=No experimental confirmation available.;
Catalytic ActivityATP + acetate + CoA = AMP + diphosphate + acetyl-CoA. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10859180}.
Developmental StageIn the forming silique, expressed in the funiculus and ovule from 1 to 3 day after flowering (DAF). At 3 DAF, expressed in the globular embryo, but expression decreases at 5 DAF and almost disappears at 7 DAF in the embryo. By 1 d after imbibition, expressed in the tip of seed radicle and then in the root tip up to 4 d after imbibition. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10859180}.
FunctionCatalyzes the production of acetyl-CoA, an activated form of acetate that can be used for lipid synthesis or for energy generation. May play a limited role in the biosynthesis of lipids. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10859180, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12051672}.
SimilarityBelongs to the ATP-dependent AMP-binding enzyme family. {ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular LocationPlastid, chloroplast. Glyoxysome.
Tissue SpecificityExpressed in leaves, flower buds and young flowers. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10859180}.
