Plastid division protein PDV1

UniProtKB accession:  Q9FK13

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Component of the plastid division machinery (PubMed:16998069). Required to mediate the dissociation of ARC5/DRP5B from plastid outer envelope membranes (OEMs) at the midplastid constriction site in the cytoplasm, thus triggering ARC5/DRP5B ring turnover at the chloroplast division site (PubMed:16998069, PubMed:32005784). Binding to phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) modulates negatively chloroplast division (PubMed:25736058).
