Annotated Information
Function

OsGAI, also known as slender rice 1(SLR1), is first identified as a homolog of the GAI gene of Arabidopsis [2]. It encodes a rice DELLA protein of 625 amino acids, which is characterized as a member of the GRAS family. Sequences analyses reveal that SLR1 contains a valine (polyS/T/V), a DELLA box, a TVHYNP region, a nuclear localization signal (NLS), a leucine heptad repeat (LZ) and the VHIID motif in N-terminal and the PFYRE motif and the SAW motif in C-terminal [1]. In addition, function domain analyses reveal that the SLR1 protein can be divided into four parts: a regulatory domain for its repression activity, a dimer formation domain essential for signal perception and repression activity, and a repression domain at the C terminus, a GA signal perception domain located at the N terminus [1]. Gibberellin (GA), a key phytohormone, controls many crucial aspects during the whole life cycle of plants, including germination, stem elongation, flower development and stress response. The study of mutant indicates that SLR1 is a negative regulator in GA signaling pathway, and overexpressing SLR1 gene in transgenic rice plants cause dwarf phenotype [1]. DELLA protein SLR1 represses the GA-response gene expression by direct binding to transcription factor of target gene. Application of exogenous GA causes disappearance of SLR1-GFP in nuclei [1].
Mutation


Slr1-1 mutant which shows a slender phenotype is caused by a single recessive mutation and results in a constitutive GA response phenotype. It has a 17–amino acid deletion affecting the DELLA region, which results in a loss-of-function mutation of the SLR1 gene, which is an ortholog of RHT-1Da in wheat, D8 in maize, and GAI and RGA in Arabidopsis [3]. The slr1-1allele contained one base deletion at Leu289, a putative NLS region, which alters the N-terminal region of the protein that it encodes. The other three alleles (slr1-2, slr1-3 and slr1-4) contained premature stop codons [3].
Three semi-dominant dwarf mutants (Slr1-d1, Slr1-d2 and Slr1-d3) associated with this gene have been identified, which were caused by gain-of-function mutations in the N-terminal region of SLR1 [4].
The indeterminate growth (ing) mutant displays creeping and apparent heterochronic phenotypes in the vegetative period with lanky and winding culms. The ing mutant carries a large 103 kb region deletion, which contains the entireSLR1sequence deleted. The primary cause of the ing mutant phenotype is the deletion of the SLR1gene [5].
Expression
The SLR1 gene expresses in almost all organ and tissue, for example root, shoot, stem, flower and seed et al. Genomic DNA blot analysis indicates the OsGAI is a single-copy gene in the rice genome. OsGAI transcripts increased within 6h upon GA3. The subcellular localization of OsGAI in vivo shows that OsGAI-GFP fusion protein locates in the nucleus concerned with a nuclear localization signal (NLS)[2].

Evolution
The SLR1 protein shares a high overall identity with RHT-D1a in wheat (77.2%), D8 in maize (80.3%), and RGA and GAI in Arabidopsis (41.2 and 47.2%, respectively) [2].
Knowledge Extension


When GA4 binds to GID1 (a soluble GA receptor), SLR1 interacts with the GID1-GA complex at its N-terminal region, including the DELLA and TVHYNP domains. The stabilized complex of GA, GID1, and SLR1 may be targeted by GID2, an F-box protein, leading to its degradation by 26S proteasomes through ubiquitination of the SCF GID2 complex, and then the GA response is active through repression of the repressor SLR1[8]. The stable interaction of GID1-SLR1 through the GRAS domain is essential for the recognition of SLR1 by GID2. when the DELLA/TVHYNP motif of SLR1 binds with GID1, it enables the GRAS domain of SLR1 to interact with GID1 and that the stable GID1-SLR1 complex is efficiently recognized by GID2 [9]. The N-terminal region of SLR1 has two roles in GA signaling: interaction with GID1 and transactivation activity, and the suppressive function of the rice DELLA protein SLR1 is dependent on its transcriptional activation activity [7]. However, in the gid2 mutant, release of the repressive activity of rice DELLA protein SLR1 by GA does not require SLR1 degradation [10]. SLR1 mediates the interaction between GA and ABA by upregulation of endogenous ABA level and downregulation of endogenous of GA level [11].
