Proteins
Curated comments from UniProt
| Type | Comment |
|---|---|
| developmental stage | Low levels in the globular stage, but accumulates during early heart stage of embryogenesis and remains expressed during all later embryogenesis stages. |
| function | Essential protein required during embryogenesis (PubMed:24097264). Exhibits holdase chaperone activity involved in the stabilization of NADPH:protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase (POR) proteins against photooxidative stress during POR proteins import into chloroplasts. Required for chloroplast biogenesis and development (PubMed:24151298, PubMed:25901327). When expressed in yeast, triggers mitochondria-mediated cell death associated with the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (PubMed:16192270). |
| similarity | Belongs to the chaperone-like protein of POR1 protein family. |
| subcellular location | Targeted to mitochondrion when expressed in yeast. |
| tissue specificity | Expressed ubiquitously with higher levels in young leaves, flowers, and the root elongation zone. |
