psbA — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT0S410G0160 (psbA) encodes a protein with the PSII_D1, D1/D2, Photo_RC_L/M, and Photo_II_D1/D2_sf domains, and is associated with oxidoreductase activity acting on diphenols and related substances as donors with oxygen as acceptor, oxygen evolving activity, chlorophyll binding, electron transfer activity, and iron binding. In garden pea, this gene is associated with photosynthetic electron transport in photosystem II, thylakoid membrane organisation, photoprotection, chloroplast movement, membrane organisation, plastid gene expression and transcription, carotenoid and flavonoid anabolism, protein synthesis and breakdown, translation elongation and initiation, homeostasis, and response to herbicide. It is localised to the photosystem II complex and chloroplast thylakoid membrane. The gene is also linked to protein content. Related genes in other species are associated with photosystem II protein D1 and oxidoreductase activity (EC 1.10.3.9).
