Name | ACCUMULATION AND REPLICATION OF CHLOROPLASTS 3 | Brief Description | GTP binding protein |
TAIR Computational Description | GTP binding protein;(source:Araport11) |
TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes ARC3 (Accumulation and Replication of Chloroplast 3), a chloroplast division factor functioning in the initiation of chloroplast division. ARC3 is a chimera of the prokaryotic FtsZ and part of the eukaryotic phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinase (PIP5K). Located on the outer surface of the chloroplast in a ring-like structure at the early stage of chloroplast division. The arc3 mutant has a small number of abnormally large chloroplasts in the cell. |
