DEK10 - Plant Editosome Database - CNCB-NGDC

Summary

Editing Factor: DEK10
Synonym: Defective Kernel 10
Description: Encoding an E-subgroup PPR protein localized in mitochondria. Sequencing analysis indicated that Dek10 is responsible for the C-to-U editing at nad3-61, nad3-62, and cox2-550 sites, which are specific editing sites in monocots.
Protein Family: PPR
Subclass: E
Physical Interaction: NA
Construct Structure: PLS-E
Gene ID & Species: GRMZM2G087226 (Zea mays)
Edited Gene(s): cox2    nad3
Editing Type(s): C-to-U (9)
Publication(s): [1] Editing of Mitochondrial Transcripts and by Dek10 Is Essential for Mitochondrial Function and Maize Plant Development., Genetics, 2017. [PMID=28213476]
