TAIR Curator Summary | Mutants have spontaneous spreading cell death lesions and constitutive activation of defenses in the absence of pathogen infection. Its product was shown to display red chlorophyll catabolite reductase (RCCR), which catalyzes one step in the breakdown of the porphyrin component of chlorophyll. The enzyme was further assessed to be a Type-1 (pFCC-1-producing) RCCR.Upon P. syringae infection, ACD2 localization shifts from being largely in chloroplasts to partitioning to chloroplasts, mitochondria, and to a small extent, cytosol. Overexpression of ACD2 delayed cell death and the replication of P. syringae. |
