CAO — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoCAO (BOLC102_C08P006280.1_BOLC102_V1) on cabbage chromosome 8 encodes a protein with signal sequence receptor activity, 7S RNA binding, protein translocase activity, chlorophyll binding, GTPase activity, ATP hydrolase activity, identical protein binding, mRNA binding, and protein binding. It contains chromo and ankyrin repeat domains. The gene is associated with chlorophyll cycle, metabolism, breakdown and anabolism, protein localization to chloroplast, thylakoid membrane protein import, SRP-dependent cotranslational membrane targeting, pigmentation, thylakoid membrane organization, response to high light intensity and fructose, anthocyanin anabolism, NO storage, chloroplast organization, and translation. It localizes to the chloroplast thylakoid, envelope, stroma, and signal recognition particle. BoCAO is associated with chlorophyll content and ratio, net photosynthetic rate, starch content, photochemical quenching, root morphology, arsenic concentration, thermostability, beta-carotene content, and pale, chlorotic plants. Related genes in other species link the family to chlorophyll b biosynthesis, chloroplast biogenesis, thylakoid biogenesis, carotenoid content, and circadian regulation.
