AT5G19400 | Telomerase activating protein Est1 Encodes SMG7, a protein that possesses an evolutionarily conserved EST1 domain and exhibits strong homology to human SMG6 (EST1A) and SMG7 (EST1C) proteins. SMG7 plays an evolutionarily conserved role in nonsense-mediated RNA decay (NMD). Required for exit from meiosis. Hypomorphic smg7 alleles render mutant plants sterile by causing an unusual cell-cycle arrest in anaphase II that is characterized by delayed chromosome decondensation and aberrant rearrangement of the meiotic spindle. Disruption of SMG7 causes embryonic lethality. SMG7; CONTAINS InterPro DOMAIN/s: Telomerase activating protein Est1 (InterPro:IPR019458); BEST Arabidopsis thaliana protein match is: Telomerase activating protein Est1 (TAIR:AT1G28260.2); Has 648 Blast hits to 623 proteins in 143 species: Archae - 0; Bacteria - 0; Metazoa - 367; Fungi - 169; Plants - 90; Viruses - 0; Other Eukaryotes - 22 (source: NCBI BLink). | 5 | + | View |
