TAIR Curator Summary | PGK1 was localized exclusively in the chloroplasts of photosynthetic tissues and is the photosynthetic isoform. The pgk1.1 knock-down mutant displayed reduced growth, lower photosynthetic capacity and starch content. Expression studies in PGK mutants showed that PGK1 and PGK3 were down-regulated in pgk3.2 and pgk1.1, respectively. These results indicate that the down-regulation of photosynthetic activity could be a plant strategy when glycolysis is impaired to achieve metabolic adjustment and optimize growth (DOI:10.1104/pp.17.01227).Functions redundantly with AT1G56190 in the chloroplast in the biosynthesis of thylakoid membrane galactolipids. Double mutants are photosynthetically incompetent, plants are albino and seedling lethal |
