OE23 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

CaOE23 (LOC101514916) on chickpea chromosome 5 encodes a PsbP_C and Mog1/PsbP_a/b/a-sand domain-containing protein. The gene product exhibits multiple molecular functions including protease activity, polysaccharide binding, Mn binding, salicylic acid binding, poly(U) binding, serine-type endopeptidase activity, SUMO transferase activity, SUMO binding, kinase binding, calcium ion binding, kinase activity, mRNA binding, DNA binding transcription factor activity, and protein binding. It is associated with photosynthesis light reaction, photosystem I assembly, protein synthesis, cell surface receptor signaling pathway, response to virus, sumoylation, cellular response to hypoxia, response to salicylate, downregulation of transcription, embryo development ending in seed dormancy, response to thirst, defence response to fungi, signal transduction, and response to abscisic acid. The protein localizes to the chloroplast thylakoid lumen, thylakoid membrane, and oxygen-evolving complex. CaOE23 is linked to aluminum response, cell elongation, high temperature stress response, stomatal opening, hypocotyl morphology, abscisic acid sensitivity, flowering time, disease tolerance, drought tolerance, salt tolerance, and root morphology.
