High impact information on HCF109

  • A point mutation at the last nucleotide of the second intron causes a new splice site farther downstream, resulting in a deletion of seven amino acid residues in the N-terminal region of the Hcf109 protein [1].
  • The high-chlorophyll fluorescence photosynthesis mutant hcf109 of Arabidopsis was characterized in detail to gain insights into the regulatory mechanism of RNA processing in higher plants [2].
  • This result indicates that the trans-regulatory factor encoded by the hcf109 gene is not a general RNA stability factor but that it specifically controls the stability of only these distinct transcripts [2].
  • Because the hcf109 locus was mapped at a distance < 0.1 centimorgans from the phytochrome C gene, its molecular characterization by positional cloning is possible [2].
