ACCD — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT0S2288G0160 (symbol ACCD, preferred name PsACCD) encodes a protein with acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity and carboxyl- or carbamoyltransferase activity, and binds zinc and ATP. This gene is associated with malonyl-CoA and fatty acid biosynthesis, and its product localises to the ACCase complex, chloroplast inner membrane and stroma. PsACCD is linked to pollen fertility, stomatal resistance, chlorophyll content and salt tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity (EC 2.1.3.15).
