Name | ALBINO OR PALE GREEN MUTANT 1 | Brief Description | S-adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent methyltransferases superfamily protein |
TAIR Computational Description | S-adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent methyltransferases superfamily protein;(source:Araport11) |
TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes a MPBQ/MSBQ methyltransferase located in the chloroplast inner envelope membrane. Mutant plants lack plastoquinone (PQ), suggesting that the APG1 protein is involved in the methylation step of PQ biosynthesis. The gene product is also involved in tocopherol (vitamin E) biosynthesis. |
