Gene Description

Chloroplast NDH complex subunit A/H, a membrane-sector NADH-quinone oxidoreductase component that may bind quinone and supports proton-coupled electron transport.

Core Functions

Contributes a membrane-sector subunit to plastid NDH-1, supporting quinone-linked NADH dehydrogenase activity and proton-coupled electron transport.

Molecular Function:
quinone binding
Directly Involved In:
electron transport coupled proton transport
Cellular Locations:
chloroplast thylakoid membrane
In Complex:
NADH dehydrogenase complex
Supporting Evidence:
  • file:MISSI/ndhA/ndhA-uniprot.txt
    NDH-1 shuttles electrons from NADH, via FMN and iron-sulfur (Fe-S) centers, to quinones in the respiratory chain.
  • file:MISSI/ndhA/ndhA-uniprot.txt
    This subunit may bind ubiquinone.

Curation notes

  • QuickGO export is header-only; therefore no UniProt DR/InterPro/HAMAP-derived terms are listed as existing_annotations or proposed as NEW.
  • Core function uses broad quinone binding rather than the bacterial/mitochondrial ubiquinone wording because chloroplast NDH acts through plastoquinone.
