| Type | Family |
| Description | This family represents a group of plant thioredoxin-like fold domain-containing proteins, including MRL7 (Protein MESOPHYLL-CELL RNAI LIBRARY LINE 7, also known as Protein EARLY CHLOROPLAST BIOGENESIS 1 (ECB1) or Protein SUPPRESSOR OF VARIEGATION 4 SVR4) and its paralog MRL7L from Arabidopsis. These proteins are required for early chloroplast development and involved in the regulation of plastid gene expression [ , , , , ]. They also mediate the degradation of two repressors of chloroplast biogenesis, PIF1 and PIF3 in nucleus []. MRL7L is a necessary component of phytochrome signalling for photosynthesis-associated plastid-encoded genes (PhAPGs) activation []. |
