TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes RH39, a DEAD-box protein involved in the introduction of the hidden break into the 23S rRNA in the chloroplasts. Recombinant RH39 binds to the 23S rRNA in a segment adjacent to the stem-loop creating the hidden break target loop in a sequence-dependent manner. Has ATP-hydrolyzing activity at a Kcat of 5.3 /min in the presence of rRNA sequence. Mutants have drastically reduced level of level of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase. The mRNA is cell-to-cell mobile. |
