rbcL — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD3BV1G177570, symbol rbcL, on durum wheat chromosome 3B, encodes a ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase large subunit C-terminal domain-containing protein. The product contains a RuBisCO large subunit C-terminal domain and has annotated RuBisCO activity, monooxygenase activity, nucleotide binding, and magnesium binding. It is localised to the plastid and is associated with the reductive pentose-phosphate cycle and photorespiration. This gene has also been linked to grain weight and protein content. Related genes in other species connect the family to the enzyme class EC 4.1.1.39.
