psbC — Brassica juncea

Summary

The Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) gene psbC (BJUUNNG02770S) on chromosome JAATWR010000060.1 encodes a chlorophyll-binding protein belonging to the PSII_PsbC family. The gene product is localized to the chloroplast thylakoid membrane and is associated with photosynthetic electron transport in photosystem II, chlorophyll fluorescence, and chlorophyll content. It also has metal-binding activity. Related genes in other species link the family to photosystem II reaction center components, including D1/D2 and photo_RC_L/M domains.
