Protein
Flowering time control protein FPA
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Function
Plays a role in the regulation of flowering time in the autonomous flowering pathway by decreasing FLOWERING LOCUS C mRNA levels. Required for RNA-mediated chromatin silencing of a range of loci in the genome. Cotranscriptionally recognizes aberrant RNA and marks it for silencing. Controls alternative cleavage and polyadenylation on pre-mRNAs and antisense RNAs. Acts redundantly with FCA to prevent the expression of distally polyadenylated antisense RNAs at the FLC locus.
Similarity
Belongs to the RRM Spen family.
