Aminotransferase-like, plant mobile domain family protein;(source:Araport11)
TAIR Curator Summary:
Encodes a nuclear localized aminotransferase like protein containing a plant mobile domain. MAIL1 is expressed in the root, SAM, leaves, flowers and embryo. Loss of function mutations display defects in root and shoot growth. In the root, primary root growth terminates early. In the shoot, leaf development is delayed, and lateral organs are smaller than normal. MAIL1 appears to affect meristem cell division and cell fate. Biochemical analysis of the mutants also demonstrates silencing defects. Based on epistasis analysis, this MAIN1 acts in a different pathway than DNA methylation, and siRNA and in the same pathway as MAIL1 and PP7L.
