Summary

Editing Factor: VAC1
Synonym: ARABIDOPSIS EARLY CHLOROPLAST BIOGENESIS 2; ATECB2; EARLY CHLOROPLAST BIOGENESIS 2; ECB2; VANILLA CREAM 1
Description: The editing of accD and ndhF transcripts is partially affected in vac1; steady-state levels of chloroplast rRNAs are significantly decreased in vac1; The expression of plastid-encoded RNA polymerase transcribed genes is down-regulated, whereas the expression of nucleus-encoded RNA polymerase transcribed genes is up-regulated in vac1; Although the development and function of mutant chloroplasts are severely impaired, steady-state mRNA levels of nucleus-encoded photosynthetic genes are not affected or are only slightly decreased in vac1; VAC1 protein may be involved in plastid-to-nucleus retrograde signaling in addition to its role in chloroplast RNA editing and gene expression
