PID3 — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA022977 (symbol PID3, also known as RGA5) on Indica rice chromosome 6 encodes an uncharacterized protein with NB-ARC, LRR, and RX-like CC domains, characteristic of plant disease resistance proteins. It binds ADP, ATP, and metal ions. The gene is associated with resistance to the fungal pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae (blast disease), as well as with breeding, leaf traits, and defence responses to bacteria and other organisms. It has been linked to the regulation of pattern recognition receptor signalling, innate immune response-activating signalling, antiviral response, and hypersensitive response-programmed cell death. The encoded protein localises to the membrane, plasmalemma, cytosol, and cytoplasm. Related genes in other species include the disease resistance protein RPM1.
