RP1 — Zea mays

Summary

ZM00001EB082930 (symbol RP1) on maize chromosome 2 encodes a 60S ribosomal protein L3 and is annotated as a structural constituent of the ribosome, with additional molecular functions including SUMO transferase activity, SUMO binding, ATP hydrolase activity, and RNA binding. The gene is associated with resistance to maize rust. It is linked to biological processes including gene conversion, meiosis, autophagy, calcium signaling, cell wall modification, meristem growth, and double fertilization. Additional associations include traits such as tassel branch number, plant height, leaf angle, flowering time, herbicide sensitivity, and responses to stem rust and wheat leaf rust. The protein localizes to the cytosolic large ribosomal subunit, nucleolus, vacuole, and proteasome regulatory particle. Related genes in other species are linked to embryo viability and zinc deficiency tolerance.
