Description : (at5g06160 : 174.0) Encodes a protein with similarity to pre-mRNA splicing factor SF3a60 that is involved in gametic cell fate determination. Loss of function results in the ectopic expression of egg cell makers suggesting a role in restriction of gametic cell fate. Expressed strongly in gametophytes and weakly in sporophytes.; ATROPOS (ATO); FUNCTIONS IN: zinc ion binding, nucleic acid binding; INVOLVED IN: regulation of embryo sac egg cell differentiation; LOCATED IN: cytosol; EXPRESSED IN: 23 plant structures; EXPRESSED DURING: 14 growth stages; CONTAINS InterPro DOMAIN/s: Zinc finger, C2H2-like (InterPro:IPR015880), Zinc finger, C2H2-type matrin (InterPro:IPR000690), Splicing factor SF3a60 binding domain (InterPro:IPR021966); Has 679 Blast hits to 673 proteins in 216 species: Archae - 0; Bacteria - 0; Metazoa - 330; Fungi - 136; Plants - 106; Viruses - 0; Other Eukaryotes - 107 (source: NCBI BLink). & (reliability: 348.0) & (original description: no original description)
