Gene Symbol

  • Os02g0523500 <=> OsTudor-SN


Function

  • OsTudor-SN is a component of the RNA transport particle, and may control storage protein biosynthesis by regulating one or more processes leading to the transport, localization and anchoring of their RNAs to the cortical ER.


Expression

  • Examination of OsTudor-SN particles in transgenic rice plants expressing GFPtagged prolamine RNA transport particles showed co-localization of OsTudor-SN and GFP, suggesting a role in RNA transport.


Mutant

  • Downregulation of OsTudor-SN by antisense and RNAi resulted in a decrease in steady state prolamine RNA and protein levels, and a reduction in the number of prolamine protein bodies.
