Functional Description ? help Back to Top
Source Description
UniProtSingle-stranded DNA and RNA binding protein that maintains plastid genome stability by preventing break-induced and short homology-dependent illegitimate recombinations. Functions in RNA metabolism and is involved in the maturation of the atpF and 23S ribosomal RNAs. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18676978, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19666500}.
Function -- GeneRIF ? help Back to Top
  1. Genome-wide coimmunoprecipitation assays showed that ZmWHY1 in chloroplast extract is associated with DNA from throughout the plastid genome and with a subset of plastid RNAs that includes atpF transcripts.
    [PMID: 18676978]
  2. The requirement of WHY1 function for maize embryogenesis is dependent on the genetic background.
