PSBO — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT1G093320, symbol PSBO, encodes a protein with oxygen-evolving activity and poly(U) binding capability, located in the chloroplast photosystem II and thylakoid membrane as part of the OEC (PSII) complex. This gene is associated with photosystem II stabilization and assembly, thylakoid membrane organization, nonphotochemical quenching, de-etiolation, and protein import. It is also linked to membrane organization and photochemical quenching. Related genes in other species connect the PSBO family to photosystem II function and oxygen evolution.
