PSBO — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSBO (PSAT0SS8385G0040) on garden pea chromosome CAADHX020024493.1 encodes a protein with oxygen-evolving activity and poly(U) binding capability. The gene is associated with photosystem II stabilization and assembly, nonphotochemical quenching, light reaction photosynthesis, thylakoid membrane organization, de-etiolation, and membrane organization. It is linked to protein import and photochemical quenching. The product localizes to the chloroplast photosystem II, the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) of PSII, and the chloroplast thylakoid membrane. Related genes in other species connect this gene family to photosystem II function and oxygen evolution.
