psbC — Brassica juncea

Summary

BJUB05G58780S (psbC) in Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) on chromosome B05 encodes the PsbC protein, a chlorophyll-binding component of the photosystem II antenna complex. The product is annotated with chlorophyll binding and metal binding molecular functions, and is localized to the photosystem II complex and the chloroplast thylakoid membrane. This gene is associated with photosynthetic electron transport in photosystem II and chlorophyll fluorescence, and has been linked to chlorophyll content. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to photosystem II reaction center components.
