Encodes a member of the SPA (suppressor of phyA-105) protein family (SPA1-SPA4). SPA proteins contain an N-terminal serine/threonine kinase-like motif followed by a coiled-coil structure and a C-terminal WD-repeat domain. SPA proteins function redundantly in suppressing photomorphogenesis in dark- and light-grown seedlings. SPA4 (and SPA3) predominantly regulates elongation growth in adult plants.

Protein is similar to SWI2/SNF2 chromatin remodeling proteins. DDM1 is appears to act as a chromatin-remodeling ATPase involved in cytosine methylation in CG and non-CG contexts. Involved in gene silencing and maintenance of DNA methylation and histone methylation. Hypomethylation of many genomic regions occurs in ddm1 mutants, and can cause several phenotypic abnormalities, but some loci, such as BONSAI (At1g73177) can be hypermethylated in ddm1 mutants after several generations, leading to different phenotypes. DDM1 might be involved in establishing a heterochromain boundary. A line expressing an RNAi targeted against DDM1 shows some resistance to agrobacterium-mediated root transformation.
Encodes a member of a PCMP (plant combinatorial and modular protein) family (PCMP-H subfamily) with 9 pentatricopeptide (PPR) repeats. The protein is involved the intergenic processing of chloroplast RNA between rps7 and ndhB, which is essential for ndhB translation.
