RLD1 — Zea mays

Summary

ZM00001EB362420 (RLD1) on maize chromosome 8 encodes a protein with a Brevis radix domain, RCC1-like and FYVE zinc finger domains, and ubiquitin ligase/GEF domains. The product binds phosphatidate, phosphoinositides, and metals, and is associated with protein localization to membranes, Golgi-to-plasma membrane transport, auxin anabolism, gibberellin-mediated signalling, photoperiodism and response to long-day conditions. It has been connected to seed growth, regulation of seed size, stomatal complex development, leaf and root development, and root length and growth. The protein localizes to the Golgi, trans-Golgi network, endosome, vacuole, plasma membrane, cytoplasm and nucleus. Related genes in other species are linked to root morphology, grain shattering, cold tolerance, anthesis time, and leaf lamina colour.
