Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Solyc12g056740
• Gene Symbol: SlDEAD39
• Gene Name: DEAD-box ATP-dependent RNA helicase 39
• Genome: Tomato Genome version SL4.0
• Species: Solanum lycopersicum

Functional Descriptions:

• The res (restored cell structure by salinity) tomato mutant reveals the role of the DEAD-box RNA helicase SlDEAD39 in plant development and salt response.
• Functional analysis of res mutant proved SlDEAD39 is involved in the in vivo processing of the chloroplast, 23S rRNA, at the hidden break-B site, a feature also supported by in vitro binding experiments of the protein.
• The function of SlDEAD39 is crucial for chloroplast structure and function under non-stressful culture conditions but not under salt-stress condition, where the chloroplastidial 23S rRNA processing is partially recovered, and therefore are chloroplast function and structure.
• SlDEAD39 must participate in the processing of the 23S transcript by specifically promoting the cleavage of the immature 23S rRNA at the hidden break B site.
