CRR4 - Plant Editosome Database - CNCB-NGDC

Summary

Editing Factor: CRR4
Synonym: CHLORORESPIRATORY REDUCTION 4; ATCRR4
Description: The heterogous complementation of Arabidopsis crr4-3 mutant, in which RNA editing of ndhD-1 is completely impaired, with CRR4 orthologous genes derived from Nicotiana species suggested that the reduction in editing efficiency in N. tomentosiformis is caused by amino acid variations accumulating in CRR4
Protein Family: Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) protein
Subclass: E+
Physical Interaction: NA
Construct Structure: PLS-E-E+
Gene ID & Species: AT2G45350 (Arabidopsis thaliana)
NA (Nicotiana sylvestris)
NA (Nicotiana tabacum)
LOC104119586 (Nicotiana tomentosiformis)
Edited Gene(s): ndhD
Editing Type(s): C-to-U (20)
