MEF100 - Plant Editosome Database - CNCB-NGDC

Summary

Editing Factor: MEF100
Synonym: Mitochondrial Editing Factor 100
Description: A combined approach of RNA-Seq, mutant complementation, electrophoresis of mitochondrial protein complexes and Western blotting allowed us to show that MEF100, a PPR protein identified in a genetic screen for mutants resistant to an inhibitor of γ -glutamylcysteine synthetase, is required for the editing of nad1-493, nad4-403, nad7-698 and ccmFN2-356 sites in Arabidopsis mitochondria; The absence of editing in mef100 leads to a decrease in mitochondrial Complex I activity, which probably explains the physiological phenotype
Protein Family: PPR
