transducin family protein / WD-40 repeat family protein
Curator Summary
Encodes a transducin family nucleolar protein with six WD40 repeats that is most likely involved in 18S rRNA biogenesis. The slow progression of the gametophytic division cycles in swa1 suggested that the SWA1 protein is required for the normal progression of mitotic division cycles through the regulation of cell metabolism. Ubiquitously expressed throughout the plant.
