ACCD — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PvACCD (PHAVU_002G278116) on French bean chromosome 2 encodes a protein with acetyl-CoA carboxylase beta and ClpP/crotonase-like domains, annotated to acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity and carboxyl- or carbamoyltransferase activity, and binds ATP and zinc. It localises to the chloroplast stroma as part of the ACCase complex and is associated with malonyl-CoA and fatty acid biosynthesis. Studies of related genes in other species link the ACCD family to pollen fertility, stomatal resistance, chlorophyll content and salt tolerance, though these associations are not yet established in French bean.
