PR1 — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA032644, designated OiPR1 on Indica rice chromosome 10, encodes an SCP domain-containing protein belonging to the CAP superfamily, with a V5 allergen-like domain and a CRISP-related motif. The gene is associated with biological regulation, signal transduction, and immune and defense responses to other organisms, as well as with cell death. It has been linked to secondary metabolite biosynthesis, including diterpenoid and alkaloid anabolism. The product is localized to the extracellular region and the vacuole. Studies of related genes in other species connect this protein family to pathogenesis-related proteins.
