arginine-tRNA protein transferase 2;(source:Araport11)
TAIR Curator Summary:
Encodes an arginyl-tRNA:protein arginyltransferase (ATE2), a component of the N-end rule pathway that targets protein degradation through the identity of the amino-terminal residue of specific protein substrates. Arabidopsis contains two ATE genes: At5g05700/ATE1, At3g11240/ATE2. Another component of the N-end rule pathway is At5g02310/PROTEOLYSIS6 (PRT6). PRT6 and ATE were shown to regulate seed after-ripening, seedling sugar sensitivity, seedling lipid breakdown, and abscisic acid (ABA) sensitivity of germination. ATE2 has also been show to be involved in the response to pathogens.
