TAIR Curator Summary | Membrane-associated and ATP-independent metalloprotease; EGY1 protein contains eight trans-membrane domains at its C-terminus, and carries out beta-casein degradation in an ATP-independent manner. EGY1 is required for development of both thylakoid grana and a well-organized lamellae system in chloroplast. Additionally, EGY1 is required for the accumulation of chlorophyll and chlorophyll a/b binding (CAB) proteins (both PS I and PS II) in chloroplast membranes, and for grana formation and normal chloroplast development. Loss of EGY1 function also has an effect on endodermal plastid biogenesis. Mutant studies suggest that EGY1 is involved in the regulation of nuclear gene expression response to ammonium stress and interacts with ABA signaling. |
