EMP80 - Plant Editosome Database - CNCB-NGDC

Summary

Editing Factor: EMP80
Synonym: Empty Pericarp 80
Description: An absence of EMP80 abolishes the C-to-U RNA editing at nad7-769 and atp4-118 sites, resulting in a cysteine-to-arginine (Cys-Arg) change in Nad7 and Atp4 in the emp80 mutant; The amino acid change consequently reduces the assembly of complexes I and V, leading to an accumulation of the F1 subcomplex of complex V
Protein Family: PPR
Subclass: E+
Physical Interaction: ZmDYW2
Construct Structure: PLS-E1-E2-E+
Gene ID & Species: GRMZM5G851564 (Zea mays)
Edited Gene(s): nad7    atp4    cox2
Editing Type(s): C-to-U (15)
Publication(s): [1] EMP80 mediates the C-to-U editing of nad7 and atp4 and interacts with ZmDYW2 in maize mitochondria., The New phytologist, 2022. [PMID=35243635]
