TAIR Computational Description | Nucleotide-diphospho-sugar transferases superfamily protein;(source:Araport11) |
TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes a mitochondrial-localized CMP-KDO (3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate) synthetase. This is the enzyme activating KDO as a nucleotide sugar prior to its incorporation into rhamnogalacturonan-II. Heterozygous mutants are defective in pollen development and in pollen tube elongation. |
