DB identifier | AT1G53280 | Secondary Identifier | locus:2009650 |
Name | DJ-1 homolog B | Brief Description | Class I glutamine amidotransferase-like superfamily protein |
TAIR Computational Description | Class I glutamine amidotransferase-like superfamily protein;(source:Araport11) |
TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes a homolog of animal DJ-1 superfamily protein. In the A. thaliana genome, three genes encoding close homologs of human DJ-1 were identified AT3G14990 (DJ1A), AT1G53280 (DJ1B) and AT4G34020 (DJ1C). Among the three homologs, DJ1C is essential for chloroplast development and viability. It exhibits glyoxalase activity towards glyoxal and methylglyoxal. |
