Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb072800
• Gene Symbol: DEK48
• Gene Name: DEFECTIVE KERNEL 48
• Genome:
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• DEK48 Is Required for RNA Editing at Multiple Mitochondrial Sites and Seed Development in Maize.
• A mitochondrion-localized DYW-type PPR protein, DEK48, functioning in the C-to-U RNA editing at multiple mitochondrial transcripts in maize.
• DEK48 loss of function abolishes the C-to-U editing at nad3-185, -215, and nad4-376, -977 sites and decreases the editing at 11 other sites, resulting in the alteration of the corresponding amino acids.
• We identified a point mutation in DEK48-3 causing a deletion of the Tryptophan (W) residue in the DYW motif that abolishes the editing function.
