ACCD — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT0S2754G0160, symbol ACCD (accD) on chromosome CAADHX020008216.1 in garden pea, encodes a protein with acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity and carboxyl- or carbamoyltransferase activity, and binds ATP and zinc. This gene is associated with malonyl-CoA and fatty acid biosynthesis, and its product localises to the chloroplast inner membrane, stroma and the ACCase complex. ACCD is associated with 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), though these associations are not yet established for pea.
