UBQ10 — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BRADI_3G04730V3 (UBQ10) on chromosome 3 of Brachypodium distachyon encodes a ubiquitin protein that acts as a protein tag and binds ubiquitin ligase, with structural roles in the ribosome and mRNA binding. The gene product localises to the cytoplasm, nucleus and cytosolic ribosome. UBQ10 is associated with protein ubiquitination, modification-dependent proteolysis, mRNA 3'-end processing and blue light response. Studies of related genes in other species link the ubiquitin family to drought tolerance.
