MEF25 - Plant Editosome Database - CNCB-NGDC

Summary

Editing Factor: MEF25
Synonym: MITOCHONDRIAL EDITING FACTOR 25
Description: MEF25 is essential for RNA editing at the nad1-308 site in Arabidopsis mitochondria; Another editing site just one nucleotide upstream, nad1-307, is edited normally in mef25 mutant lines; This finding shows that two independent factors recognizing similar cis-elements are involved at these contiguous sites without competing with each other in vivo
Protein Family: Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) protein
Subclass: E+
Physical Interaction: NA
Construct Structure: PLS-E-E+
Gene ID & Species: AT3G25060 (Arabidopsis thaliana)
Edited Gene(s): nad1
Editing Type(s): C-to-U (6)
Publication(s): [1] Multiple PPR Protein Interactions Are Involved in the RNA Editing System in Arabidopsis Mitochondria and Plastids, Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2017. [doi:10.1073/pnas.1705815114]
