VARIEGATED 3 | Brief Description | zinc finger (Ran-binding) family protein |
| TAIR Computational Description | zinc finger (Ran-binding) family protein;(source:Araport11) |
| TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes a zinc-finger motif containing protein that is essential for chloroplast RNA editing. The protein physically interacts with ORRM1 and other components of chloroplast editosomes. VAR3 is a part of a protein complex required for normal chloroplast and palisade cell development. Mutants display a variegated phenotype due to somatic areas lacking or containing developmentally retarded chloroplasts and greatly reduced numbers of palisade cells. |
