SLO4 - Plant Editosome Database - CNCB-NGDC

Summary

Editing Factor: SLO4
Synonym: SLOW GROWTH 4
Description: Slo4 mutants were characterized as having restricted root growth, being late flowering and displaying an overall delayed growth phenotype; Protein levels and activity of mitochondrial complex I were decreased and putative complex I assembly intermediates accumulated in the mutant plants; An editing defect, leading to an amino acid change, in the mitochondrial nad4 transcript, encoding for a complex I subunit, was identified; Furthermore, the splicing efficiency of the first intron of nad2, encoding for another complex I subunit, was also decreased
Protein Family: Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) protein
Subclass: E
Physical Interaction: NA
Construct Structure: PLS-E
Gene ID & Species: AT4G38010 (Arabidopsis thaliana)
