Protein
Transcription termination factor MTERF4, chloroplastic
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Function
Transcription termination factor required for processing and steady-state levels of plastid transcripts. Required for splicing of the chloroplastic Clp protease (ClpP) group IIa intron. Required for maturation of 16S rRNA and 23S rRNA in the chloroplast. Essential for embryogenesis (PubMed:21464319). Required for the maintenance of the correct levels of transcripts in the mitochondria and chloroplasts.
Similarity
Belongs to the mTERF family.
