UBQ10 — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BRADI_1G32700V3, symbol UBQ10, on chromosome 1 of Brachypodium distachyon, encodes a ubiquitin protein characterized by ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like domains and a ubiquitin active-site motif. The product possesses ubiquitin ligase binding and protein tag molecular functions, acts as a structural constituent of the ribosome, and binds mRNA. It is associated with protein ubiquitination, modification-dependent proteolysis, mRNA 3'-end processing, and blue light response. The protein localizes to the cytosol, cytoplasm, and nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species link the ubiquitin family to drought tolerance.
