IQD32 — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BdIQD32 (BRADI_5G25090V3) on chromosome 5 of Brachypodium distachyon encodes a protein with an IQ motif EF-hand binding site, indicating calmodulin-binding activity. The gene product is associated with multiple cellular locations, including the microtubule-associated complex, chloroplast envelope, plasmalemma, nucleus, and extracellular space. Studies of related genes in other species link the IQD32 family to plant cell shape determination, photochemical quenching, and arsenic concentration traits.
