RBCL — Nicotiana attenuata

Summary

A4A49_52846 (RBCL) on chromosome 6 of coyote tobacco (Nicotiana attenuata) encodes a protein with RuBisCO_lsu_C, RuBisCO_lsu_C_sf, RuBisCO, and DUF4283 domains. The gene product is annotated with RuBisCO activity, magnesium binding, and monooxygenase activity, and is associated with the reductive pentose-phosphate cycle, photorespiration, regulation of photosynthesis, chlorophyll fluorescence, pigmentation, leaf and seedling development, chloroplast fission, autotrophy, and the TCA cycle. It is also linked to RuBisCO content, photosynthetic rate and ability, and heterosis. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to net photosynthetic rate, quantum yield, seedling vigor, carbohydrate and protein content, plant height, and fruit color.
