NCBI Protein Information
PLASTID MOVEMENT IMPAIRED protein (DUF827)
NCBI Summary
Encodes a coiled-coil protein WEB2 (weak chloroplast movement under blue light 2, also named PMI2/plastid movement impaired 2). Involved in chloroplast avoidance movement under intermediate and high light intensities. WEB2, together with another coiled-coil protein WEB1 (AT2G26570), maintains the chloroplast photorelocation movement velocity.

UniProt Comments
Required for the chloroplast avoidance response under high intensity blue light. This avoidance response consists in the relocation of chloroplasts on the anticlinal side of exposed cells. Acts in association with WEB1 to maintain the velocity of chloroplast photorelocation movement via cp-actin filaments regulation.
