SC35 — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BdSC35 (BRADI_1G21390V3) on chromosome 1 of Brachypodium distachyon encodes a protein with RNA-binding and splicing regulatory domains, including an RRM domain, and exhibits cis-trans proline isomerase activity, RNA, mRNA, DNA, zinc, and protein binding. It is associated with spliceosomal complex assembly, regulation of alternative mRNA splicing via the spliceosome, and mRNA processing, and localizes to the nucleus, nucleolus, nuclear speck, cytosol, plasmalemma, precatalytic spliceosome, and U2 snRNP. The gene is linked to flowering time, leaf morphology, root length, fruit position, oxidative stress response, salt tolerance, ABA sensitivity, seed germination, cell expansion, cell polarization, and impaired vacuolar transport with reduced seed coat mucilage. Related genes in other species are linked to ABA-mediated stress response.
