UniProt Comments
Reduces the expression of the cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS)-associated mitochondrial gene ORF79, encoding a cytotoxic peptide. Can restore male fertility by blocking ORF79 production via endonucleolytic cleavage of dicistronic ATP6/ORF79 mRNA. Promotes the editing of ATP6 mRNAs independently of its cleavage function.
