ACCD — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT5G286240 (symbol ACCD, also known as PsACCD) on garden pea chromosome 5LG3 encodes a protein with carboxyl- or carbamoyltransferase activity and acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity that binds zinc and ATP. The protein contains a CoA carboxyltransferase N-terminal domain and belongs to the ClpP/crotonase-like domain superfamily. It localises to the chloroplast inner membrane and stroma as part of the ACCase complex and is associated with malonyl-CoA and fatty acid anabolism. The gene has been connected to pollen fertility, stomatal resistance, chlorophyll content and salt tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species link the ACCD family to acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity (EC 2.1.3.15).
