CREF7 - Plant Editosome Database - CNCB-NGDC

Summary

Editing Factor: CREF7
Synonym: CHLOROPLAST RNA EDITING FACTOR 7
Description: OTP84 and CREF7 transgenes were mutagenized to replace the glutamate residue of the HXE motif, and transgenic plants expressing OTP84-E824A and CREF7-E554A were unable to efficiently edit the cognate editing sites for these genes; In addition, plants expressing CREF7-E554A exhibited substantially reduced capacity to edit a non-cognate site, rpoA C200; Mediating RNA editing in ndhB (Genomic position: 95225)
Protein Family: Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) protein
Subclass: DYW
Physical Interaction: NA
Construct Structure: PLS-DYW
Gene ID & Species: AT5G66520 (Arabidopsis thaliana)
Edited Gene(s): ndhB    rpoA
Editing Type(s): C-to-U (14)
