ACCD — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT0S415G0040 (symbol ACCD, preferred name PsACCD) encodes a carboxyl- or carbamoyltransferase that exhibits acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity, ATP binding, and zinc binding. This enzyme is a component of the ACCase complex and localises to the chloroplast inner membrane and stroma. The gene is associated with malonyl-CoA anabolism and fatty acid anabolism. ACCD is associated with pollen fertility, stomatal resistance, and chlorophyll content. Related genes in other species link the ACCD family to EC 2.1.3.15 activity, though these associations are not yet established for the pea gene itself.
