DEK36 - Plant Editosome Database - CNCB-NGDC

Summary

Editing Factor: DEK36
Synonym: Defective Kernel 36
Description: Positional cloning reveals that DEK36, encoding a mitochondria-targeted E+ subgroup PPR protein, is required for mitochondrial RNA editing at atp4-59, nad7-383 and ccmFN -302, thus resulting in decreased activities of mitochondrial complex I, complex III and complex IV in dek36
Protein Family: Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) protein
Subclass: E+
Physical Interaction: NA
Construct Structure: PLS-E1-E2-E+
Gene ID & Species: GRMZM5G892151 (Zea mays)
Edited Gene(s): atp4    nad7    ccmFn    nad3
Editing Type(s): C-to-U (17)
Publication(s): [1] E+ subgroup PPR protein defective kernel 36 is required for multiple mitochondrial transcripts editing and seed development in maize and Arabidopsis, New Phytologist, 2017. [doi:10.1111/nph.14507]
