rbcL — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT0S411G0040 (symbol rbcL) encodes a protein with RuBisCO_lsu_fd_N, RuBisCO_lsu_N_sf, RuBisCO, RuBisCO_lsu_C, and RuBisCO_lsu_C_sf domains. This gene is associated with RuBisCO activity, magnesium binding, and monooxygenase activity, and is linked to the reductive pentose-phosphate cycle, photosynthetic electron transport chain, photorespiration, plastid gene expression and transcription, protein targeting, leaf development, cell death, and homeostasis. It has been connected to traits including quantum yield, stomatal resistance, chlorophyll content, and photochemical quenching. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to RuBisCO large chain domains and EC 4.1.1.39.
