Protein
Protein THYLAKOID ASSEMBLY 8, chloroplastic
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Function
Essential protein required during embryogenesis (PubMed:15266054, PubMed:22495966). Mediates group II organellar RNA introns splicing (e.g. ycf3-2 and trnA) (PubMed:22495966). Binds weakly to specific RNA (PubMed:22495966, PubMed:24047899). Promotes the biogenesis of chloroplast thylakoid membranes (PubMed:22495966).
Similarity
Belongs to the PPR family. P subfamily.
