CIARC_P020 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

CIARC_P020 (rpoC1) is a chickpea (Cicer arietinum) gene on chromosome NC_011163.1 that encodes a protein with RNA polymerase domains including RNApol_RpoC1, DNA-dir_RpoC_beta_prime, RNA_pol_Rpb1_clamp_domain, RNA_pol_asu, RNA_pol_N, RNA_pol_Rpb1_1, and RNA_pol_Rpb1_3_sf. The product is annotated with DNA-directed RNA polymerase activity, DNA binding, magnesium binding, and zinc binding, and is localized to the DNA-directed RNA polymerase complex and GO:0009507. It is associated with DNA-dependent transcription and GO:0015979. Studies of related genes in other species link the rpoC1 family to traits such as spike weight and parasitic weed interactions, though these associations are not established in chickpea.
