rbcL — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BVRB_030460 (symbol rbcL) on sugar beet chromosome 118100 encodes a ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase large subunit C-terminal domain-containing protein. The product contains a RuBisCO large subunit C-terminal domain and possesses RuBisCO activity, magnesium binding, and monooxygenase activity. The gene is associated with the reductive pentose-phosphate cycle, photorespiration, and leaf development. It is also linked to chloroplast localisation. Related genes in other species connect the family to ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase activity (EC 4.1.1.39).
