GUN4


Description & Function


GUN4 (Genomes uncoupled 4) is a protein which is found only in aerobic photosynthetic organisms. It is a tetrapyrrole-binding protein which controls levels of magnesium-protoporhyrin IX which is a crucial component for the production of chlorophyll within photosynthetic organisms. GUN4 is thought to participate in plastid-to-nucleus signalling by regulating magnesium-protoporphyrin IX synthesis or trafficking

Estimated half-life:

The N-terminal of the sequence considered is M (Met).

The estimated half-life is: 

                            30 hours (mammalian reticulocytes, in vitro).
                           >20 hours (yeast, in vivo).
                           >10 hours (Escherichia coli, in vivo).


Instability index:

The instability index (II) is computed to be 22.44 This classifies the protein as stable.


Aliphatic index: 70.51

Grand average of hydropathicity (GRAVY): -0.508
