PETE — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT5G011080 (PETE, PsPETE1) in garden pea encodes a protein with plastocyanin family domains (BlueCu_1, Copper_blue_Plastocyanin, Cupredoxin) and is annotated with electron transfer activity, copper binding, ATP hydrolase activity, and protein binding, localised to the chloroplast thylakoid lumen and membrane. The gene is associated with copper ion homeostasis, response to copper, digestion, translation initiation, negative regulation of translation, response to misfolded protein, meristem growth, response to UV, female and male gamete generation, phyllome development, root cap development, meristem structural organization, root morphogenesis, maintenance of root meristem identity, inflorescence development, leaf morphogenesis, and the proteasomal pathway. It is also associated with zinc sensitivity, meristem tissue development, inflorescence morphology, herbicide sensitivity, meristem identity, root meristem development, leaf composition, organ identity, root development, disease tolerance, and plant growth and development traits, as well as photosystem II electron transport, photosystem II electron flux, photosynthetic electron flow, copper homeostasis, and DNA damage repair. Related genes in other species link the family to seed yield, photochemical quenching, salt tolerance, and zinc deficiency tolerance.
