WTG1 - Plant Editosome Database - CNCB-NGDC

Summary

Editing Factor: WTG1
Synonym: WHITE TO GREEN 1
Description: Disruption of WTG1 suppresses plant growth, retards leaf greening and chloroplast development, and represses photosynthetic gene expression, but complemented expression of WTG1 restored a normal phenotype; Moreover, WTG1 protein is associated with the organelle RNA editing factors MORF8 and MORF9, and RNA editing of the plastid petL-5 and ndhG-50 transcripts was affected in wtg1 mutants
Protein Family: Tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) protein
Subclass: NA
Physical Interaction: MORF8; MORF9
Construct Structure: NA
Gene ID & Species: AT5G53080 (Arabidopsis thaliana)
Edited Gene(s): petL    ndhG
Editing Type(s): C-to-U (18)
Publication(s): [1] A novel tetratricopeptide repeat protein, WHITE TO GREEN1, is required for early chloroplast development and affects RNA editing in chloroplasts, Journal of Experimental Botany, 2017. [doi:10.1093/jxb/erx383]
