EHD1 — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA023500 (EHD1, OiEHD1) on Indica rice chromosome 6 encodes a protein with multiple domains including DUF5600, an EH domain, dynamin and EF-hand domains, and is annotated with GTP binding, calcium ion binding, protein kinase activity, and protein binding. The gene is associated with photoperiod sensitivity and heading date, as well as basic vegetative growth period. It has been linked to endocytic recycling, endosomal transport, regulation of actin cytoskeleton organization, and protein homooligomerization. Associations also include grain weight, grain yield, days to heading, anthesis time, root thickness, disease tolerance, and responses to heat, oxidative stress, abscisic acid, osmotic stress, manganese, and salt. The encoded protein localizes to endosome membranes, plasmodesmata, the nucleus, and other cellular compartments. Related genes in other species link the family to plant immunity, endocytosis, root growth, and thermo-resilience.
