Description : (at4g31400 : 91.7) Encodes CTF7, a homolog of the yeast CTF protein required for the formation of sister chromatid cohesion. Arabidopsis CTF7 is similar to Saccharomyces cerevisiae CTF7 in that it lacks an N-terminal extension, exhibits acetyltransferase activity, and can complement a yeast ctf7 temperature-sensitive mutation. Arabidopsis CTF7 is critical for female gametophyte and embryo development, but not for the establishment of mitotic cohesion during microgametogenesis or during endosperm development.; CTF7; FUNCTIONS IN: damaged DNA binding, DNA-directed DNA polymerase activity; INVOLVED IN: sister chromatid cohesion, embryo sac development, embryo development; EXPRESSED IN: 19 plant structures; EXPRESSED DURING: 11 growth stages; CONTAINS InterPro DOMAIN/s: DNA-repair protein, UmuC-like (InterPro:IPR001126); Has 328 Blast hits to 327 proteins in 141 species: Archae - 0; Bacteria - 2; Metazoa - 149; Fungi - 104; Plants - 43; Viruses - 0; Other Eukaryotes - 30 (source: NCBI BLink). & (reliability: 183.4) & (original description: no original description)
