AHG11 - Plant Editosome Database - CNCB-NGDC

Summary

Editing Factor: AHG11
Synonym: ABA HYPERSENSITIVE GERMINATION 11
Description: The geminating ahg11 seeds have higher levels of reactive-oxygen-species-responsive genes; Presumably, partial impairment of mitochondrial function caused by an amino acid conversion in one of the complex I components induces redox imbalance which, in turn, confers an abnormal response to the plant hormone; Encodes an E+ PLS family protein that plays a role in mRNA processing in mitochondria, particularly in RNA editing; It is required for germination or early seedling growth stages; Mutant of AHG11 show a weak ABA hypersensitive phenotype
Protein Family: PPR
Subclass: E+
Physical Interaction: NA
Construct Structure: PLS-E+, PLS-E-E+
Gene ID & Species: AT2G44880 (Arabidopsis thaliana)
Edited Gene(s): nad4
Editing Type(s): C-to-U (7)
