Annotated Information
Gene Symbol
- Os04g0271000 <=> OsSRT1
Function
- OsSRT1 down-regulation induced histone H3K9 acetylation on the transposable elements and some of the hypersensitive response-related genes
Expression
- OsSRT1 is a widely expressed nuclear protein with higher levels in rapidly dividing tissues.
Evolution
- OsSRT1 RNA interference induced an increase of histone H3K9 (lysine-9 of H3) acetylation and a decrease of H3K9 dimethylation, leading to H2O2 production, DNA fragmentation, cell death, and lesions
mimicking plant hypersensitive responses during incompatible interactions with pathogens, whereas overexpression of OsSRT1 enhanced tolerance to oxidative stress.
