The rice species Oryza sativa is considered to be a model plant because of its small genome size, extensive genetic map, relative ease transformation and synteny with other cereal crops1,2,3,4. Here we report the essentially complete sequence chromosome 1, longest in genome. We summarize characteristics structure biological insight gained from sequence. analysis 43.3 megabases (Mb) non-overlapping reveals 6,756 protein coding genes, which 3,161 show homology proteins Arabidopsis thaliana,...
Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades consist of members three families kinases: the MAPK family, and (MAPKKK) family. Some these have been shown to play central roles in transmission signals that control various cellular processes including cell proliferation. Protein NPK1 is a structural functional tobacco homologue MAPKKK, but its physiological function yet unknown. In present study, we investigated sites expression gene plant developmental controls this expression. After...
The DMC1 protein, a meiosis-specific DNA recombinase, catalyzes strand exchange between homologous chromosomes. In rice, two Dmc1 genes, Dmc1A and Dmc1B , have been reported. Although the Oryza sativa DMC1A protein has partially characterized, however biochemical properties of DMC1B not defined. present study, we expressed proteins in bacteria purified them. formed helical filaments along single-stranded (ssDNA) double-stranded (dsDNA), promoted robust ssDNA dsDNA over five thousand base...
OsMUS81, a rice homolog of the yeast MUS81 endonuclease gene, produced two alternative transcripts, OsMUS81α and OsMUS81β. OsMus81α contained Helix–hairpin–Helix (HhH) motif at N- C-termini, conserved XPF-like in center, while OsMus81β isoform lacked second HhH by splicing cryptic intron generating truncated protein. The transcripts were induced after DNA-damaging treatments such as high intensity light, UV-C γ-radiation. two-hybrid assay detected strong interaction between OsMus81 OsRad54...
Abstract Social insects live in closely related family groups but face risks of intrusion and infection by pathogenic parasitic microbes. To cope with the microbes invading their nests feeding sites, social produce various types antimicrobial substances. Subterranean termites occupy microbe-rich decaying wood soil at high density, expanding nest area exploring on outward from royal chamber (room for kings queens). Although agents have been identified many termite species, few studies...
