LHY — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BdLHY (BRADI_3G16515V3) on chromosome 3 of Brachypodium distachyon encodes a Myb/SANT domain-containing protein with RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription activator activity, protein kinase regulator activity, and histone H3K9 acetyltransferase activity. It is associated with regulation of circadian rhythm, temperature compensation of the circadian clock, circadian regulation of gene expression, photomorphogenesis, anthocyanin metabolism, leaf senescence, and gravitropism. The gene is linked to spot blotch, fruit set, leaf area, vegetative vigor, root system morphology, shoot branching, nutrient responses, starch grain synthesis, and responses to light quality, temperature stress, UV, aphids, and cadmium. The gene product localizes to the nucleus, nucleolus, cytosol, and mitochondria, and is associated with the casein kinase II complex.
