CRR21 - Plant Editosome Database - CNCB-NGDC

Summary

Editing Factor: CRR21
Synonym: Chlororespiratory Reduction 21
Description: The PG box of CRR21 is essential for editing ndhD C383; In crr21, the activity of the NDH complex is specifically impaired, suggesting that the Ser128Leu change has important consequences for the function of the NDH complex; E/E+ domain is highly conserved and exchangeable between CRR21 and CRR4, although it is not essential for the RNA binding
Protein Family: Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) protein
Subclass: E+
Physical Interaction: NA
Construct Structure: PLS-E-E+
Gene ID & Species: AT5G55740 (Arabidopsis thaliana)
Edited Gene(s): ndhD
Editing Type(s): C-to-U (7)
