TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes a protein with porphobilinogen deaminase activity. This protein is targeted to the chloroplast. Mutants spontaneously develop chlorotic leaf lesions in the absence of pathogen attack, resembling the phenotype of lesion-mimic mutants. It has been shown to interact with the PPR protein AtECB2 for chloroplast RNA editing. |
