User:Proteins/At3g19720

In the plant Arabidopsis thaliana, At3g19720 is a gene locus for which there are two gene models, At3g19720.1 and a splice variant At3g19720.2. The protein is also known as Arc5, which stands for "Accumulation and replication of chloroplast 5".

Properties
Arc5 has 778 amino acids and an estimated molecular weight of 87172 Da. It is a relatively neutral protein, with a pI of 6.7.

Function
This protein is involved in chloroplast division. It is being studied by people interested in chloroplast morphogenesis.

Domain structure
The N-terminal domain is homologous to a dynamin-GTPase domain, corresponding to InterPro family IPR001401 and Pfam family PF00350.

Knockout phenotype
Mutants exhibit fewer and larger chloroplasts.

Localization and expression
Arc5 is a cytosolic protein, but localizes to the outer ring separating the two daughter chloroplasts during chloroplast division.

Interactions
Arc5 appears to be recruited to the chloroplast division site by two proteins PDV1 and PDV2.
