ACCD — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT5G134840 (symbol ACCD, also known as PsACCD) on garden pea chromosome 5LG3 encodes a protein with acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity and carboxyl- or carbamoyltransferase activity, and binds zinc and ATP. It is part of the ACCase complex localised to the chloroplast inner membrane and stroma, and is associated with malonyl-CoA and fatty acid anabolism. The gene is associated with pollen fertility, stomatal resistance, chlorophyll content, and salt tolerance. Related genes in other species link the ACCD family to acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity (EC 2.1.3.15).
