psbA — Lactuca sativa

Summary

LSAT_V11C400159430, also known as psbA, encodes a protein with the Photo_RC_L/M domain and Photo_II_D1/D2_sf family. The gene product is associated with oxidoreductase activity acting on diphenols and related substances, oxygen evolving activity, chlorophyll binding, electron transfer activity, and iron binding. It localises to the photosystem II complex in the chloroplast thylakoid membrane. In garden lettuce (Lactuca sativa) on chromosome 4, psbA is associated with photosynthetic electron transport in photosystem II, autotrophy, homologous recombination, response to herbicide, and regeneration. The gene has also been connected to chlorophyll content. Related genes in other species link the family to the enzyme class 1.10.3.9.
