PSBO — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT2G168640, symbol PSBO, encodes the PsbO protein family member with oxygen evolving activity and poly(U) binding. This gene is associated with photosystem II stabilization and assembly, nonphotochemical quenching, photosynthesis light reaction, thylakoid membrane organization, membrane organization, protein import, de-etiolation, and photochemical quenching. The product localizes to the chloroplast photosystem II, the OEC (PSII) complex, and the chloroplast thylakoid membrane. Related genes in other species link the family to photosystem II oxygen-evolving complex function.
