MEF11 - Plant Editosome Database - CNCB-NGDC

Summary

Editing Factor: MEF11
Synonym: LOI1; LOVASTATIN INSENSITIVE 1; MITOCHONDRIAL RNA EDITING FACTOR 11
Description: Encoding a pentatricopeptide (PPR) protein that binds single-stranded RNA, the N-terminal portion of the protein can localize to the mitochondria; Mutations in this gene make plants less sensitive to inhibitors of the MEP and MVA pathways of isoprenoid biosynthesis and increase the activity of HMG CoA reductase
Protein Family: PPR
Subclass: DYW
Physical Interaction: NA
Construct Structure: PLS-E-DYW, PLS-E like-DYW
Gene ID & Species: AT4G14850 (Arabidopsis thaliana)
Edited Gene(s): cox3    nad4    ccmFn2    ccmC    matR
Editing Type(s): C-to-U (55)
