General Information

  • Identifier IPR034563
  • Description Protein PALE CRESS

Abstract

The PAC (PALE CRESS) protein is required for leaf and chloroplast development [ 1 ]. PAC mutation arrests chloroplast development at an early stage, affecting the abundance and maturation of specific chloroplast-encoded transcripts. The PAC protein may be a nucleus-encoded factor that functions in plastid mRNA maturation and accumulation [ 2 ].
