DESCRIPTION

Also known as ARC5_ARATH, ARC5, DRP5B. Probable GTPase component of both plastid and peroxisme division machinery. Required for the last steps of plastid division specifically in mesophyll-cell, when the narrow isthmus breaks, facilitating the separation of the daughter plastids. Necessary for peroxisome activities. Seems to influence stromule (stroma-filled tubular extensions of the plastid envelope membrane) length and frequency. Forms a homodimer and heterodimers with DRP3A and DRP3B on peroxisomes. Interacts also with FIS1A (but not FIS1B) and PEX11 proteins (PEX11A, PEX11B, PEX11C, PEX11D and PEX11E) on peroxisomes.
