MEF3 - Plant Editosome Database - CNCB-NGDC

Summary

Editing Factor: MEF3
Synonym: MITOCHONDRIAL EDITING FACTOR 3
Description: In Vitis vinifera the gene most similar to MEF3 continues into a DYW extension beyond the common E domain; The additional DYW domain does not disturb the MEF3 protein function in mitochondrial RNA editing in A. thaliana
Protein Family: Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) protein
Subclass: E
Physical Interaction: NA
Construct Structure: PLS-E
Gene ID & Species: AT1G06140 (Arabidopsis thaliana)
Edited Gene(s): atp4
Editing Type(s): C-to-U (8)
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]
