SC35 — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BdSC35 (BRADI_3G38797V3) on chromosome 3 of Brachypodium distachyon encodes a protein containing RNA-binding and RRM domains, with annotated cis-trans proline isomerase activity and RNA, mRNA, and protein binding functions. The gene is associated with spliceosomal complex assembly, regulation of alternative mRNA splicing, and mRNA processing. It localises to the nucleus, nuclear speck, nucleolus, cytosol, and plasmalemma. BdSC35 has been connected to flowering time, leaf morphology, root length, oxidative stress response, salt tolerance, ABA sensitivity, seed germination, cell expansion, and cell polarization. Related genes in other species link the family to salt stress tolerance and seed germination under stress, as well as cell expansion and polarization.
