rbcL — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT5G033320 (symbol rbcL) encodes a protein with RuBisCO domains (RuBisCO_lsu_fd_N, RuBisCO_lsu_N_sf, RuBisCO) and possesses RuBisCO activity, magnesium binding, and monooxygenase activity. The gene is associated with the reductive pentose-phosphate cycle, photosynthetic electron transport chain, photorespiration, plastid gene expression and transcription, protein targeting, leaf development, cell death, and homeostasis. The encoded protein localises to the plastid. Associations with traits include quantum yield, stomatal resistance, chlorophyll content, and photochemical quenching. Related genes in other species link the family to RuBisCO activity (EC 4.1.1.39).
