ACCD — Pisum sativum

Summary

PsACCD (ACC-D, gene PSAT0S1152G0040) on garden pea chromosome CAADHX020003360.1 encodes a protein with acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity and carboxyl- or carbamoyltransferase activity, and binds zinc and ATP. The product belongs to the acetyl-CoA carboxylase beta and CoA carboxyltransferase N-terminal domain families and is part of the ACCase complex localised to the chloroplast inner membrane and stroma. In pea, the gene is associated with malonyl-CoA and fatty acid biosynthesis. It has been linked to pollen fertility, stomatal resistance, chlorophyll content, and salt tolerance (SALTTL). Related genes in other species connect the family to acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity (EC 2.1.3.15).
