Summary

Editing Factor: MEF13
Synonym: MITOCHONDRIAL EDITING FACTOR 13
Description: At all eight target sites of MEF13, editing levels are reduced in both morf3 and morf8 mutants, but at only one site in morf1 mutants, suggesting that specific MEF13-MORF interactions are required; Yeast two-hybrid analyses detect solid connections of MEF13 with MORF1 and weak contact with MORF3 proteins; Yeast three-hybrid (Y3H) analysis shows that the presence of MORF8 enhances the connection between MEF13 and MORF3, suggesting that a MORF3-MORF8 heteromer may form stably or transiently to establish interaction with MEF13

Subclass: E
Physical Interaction: MORF1; MORF3; MORF8
