RBCS — Oryza sativa Japonica

Summary

Os12g0292400 (RBCS) encodes a protein with RuBisCO domains and is annotated with RuBisCO activity, histone acetyltransferase activity, and chaperone binding. The gene is associated with RuBisCO assembly, regulation of photosynthesis, photorespiration, starch and sucrose metabolism, and responses to thermal and glucose stimuli. It localizes to the thylakoid lumen, chloroplast envelope, and stress granules. RBCS is linked to leaf net photosynthesis rate, grain filling period, grain number, starch content, and responses to high and low temperature stress, as well as boron and zinc sensitivity. Related genes in other species are linked to photosynthetic capacity, photoinhibition, and temperature stress tolerance.
