UBQ10 — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BRADI_1G32860V3 (UBQ10) on chromosome 1 of Brachypodium distachyon encodes a ubiquitin family protein with a ubiquitin-like domain, annotated for ubiquitin ligase binding and as a protein tag. It is also annotated as a structural constituent of the ribosome and involved in mRNA binding. The gene is associated with protein ubiquitination, modification-dependent proteolysis, mRNA 3'-end processing, and blue light response. Its product localizes to the cytosolic ribosome, cytoplasm, and nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species link the ubiquitin family to drought tolerance, though this association is not yet established in Brachypodium.
