CIARC_P021 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

CIARC_P021 (symbol rpoC2) on chickpea chromosome NC_011163.1 encodes a protein with DNA-directed RNA polymerase activity, DNA binding and zinc binding, and contains domains including DNA-dir_RpoC2_beta_pp, RNA_pol_beta''_euk, RNA_pol_Rpb1_4, Rpb1_funnel_sf, RNA_pol_Rpb1_5, and RNA_pol_Rpb1_3_sf. The gene is associated with chloroplast (GO:0009507) and the DNA-directed RNA polymerase complex, and with DNA-dependent transcription and the biological process GO:0015979. It is also linked to the ribosomal protein gene rps2. Related genes in other species link the rpoC2 family to chloroplast transcription.
