Gene Symbol
- Os02g0774300 <=> mtHsp70,OsmtHsp70
Function
- mtHsp70 may suppress programmed cell death in rice protoplasts by maintaining mitochondrial Mitochondrial membrane potential and inhibiting the amplification of ROS.
Expression
- Over-expression of mtHsp70 suppressed heat-and H2O2-induced programmed cell death (PCD) in rice protoplasts, as reflected by higher cell viability, decreased DNA laddering and chromatin condensation.
- Mitochondrial membrane potential after heat shock was destroyed gradu-
ally in protoplasts, but mtHsp70 over-expression showed higher Mitochondrial membrane potential relative to the vector control cells, and partially inhibited cytochrome c release from mitochondria to cytosol.
- Heat treatment also significantly increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, a phenomenon not observed in protoplasts over-expressing mtHsp70.
