Protein
Transcription termination factor MTERF6, chloroplastic/mitochondrial
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Function
Transcription termination factor essential for chloroplast development. Required for maturation of 16S rRNA, 18S rRNA and 23S rRNA in the chloroplast. Binds to a specific region within the tRNA(Ile)(GAU) gene at a position adjacent to and downstream of the 16S rRNA gene. Required for the maturation of tRNA(Ile)(GAU). Binds to double-stranded DNA.
Similarity
Belongs to the mTERF family.
