psbA — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT2G097040 (psbA) encodes the PSII_D1 protein, a core component of photosystem II, 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. It is associated with photosynthetic electron transport in photosystem II, the photosynthetic electron transport chain, thylakoid membrane organization, photoprotection, plastid gene expression and transcription, chloroplast movement, membrane organization, carotenoid and flavonoid anabolism, protein synthesis and breakdown, translation elongation and initiation, homeostasis, and response to herbicide. The gene is linked to protein content and localizes to the photosystem II complex and chloroplast thylakoid membrane. Related genes in other species are associated with the enzyme class 1.10.3.9.
