UBQ10 — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BRADI_1G32460V3 (UBQ10) on chromosome 1 of Brachypodium distachyon encodes a ubiquitin family protein with a ubiquitin-like domain and a ubiquitin active-site motif. The product possesses ubiquitin ligase binding activity and is annotated as a protein tag, and also as a structural constituent of the ribosome with mRNA binding capability. UBQ10 is associated with protein ubiquitination, modification-dependent proteolysis, mRNA 3'-end processing, and blue light response. The protein localises to the cytosolic ribosome, cytoplasm, and nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species link the ubiquitin family to drought tolerance.
