DEK504 - Plant Editosome Database - CNCB-NGDC

Summary

Editing Factor: DEK504
Synonym: Defective Kernel 504
Description: Dek504 encodes an E+-type PPR protein targeted to the mitochondria, which is required for RNA editing of mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase 3 at the nad3-317 and nad3-44 sites; Biochemical analysis of mitochondrial protein complexes revealed a significant reduction in the mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase complex I activity, indicating that the alteration of the amino acid sequence at nad3-44 and nad3-317 through RNA editing is essential for NAD3 function
Protein Family: PPR
Subclass: E+
Physical Interaction: NA
Construct Structure: PLS-E1-E2-E+
Gene ID & Species: Zm00001d022394 (Zea mays)
Edited Gene(s): nad3
