Annotated Information
Gene Symbol
- Os05g0170000 <=> BC10, OsBC10
Function
- BC10' encodes a Golgi-localized type II integral membrane protein.
- BC10 may function as a glycosyltransferase.
Mutation
Figure 1. Phenotypes and physical properties of wild-type and bc10 mutant plants. [1].
- bc10 plants show pleiotropic phenotypes, including brittleness of the plant body and retarded growth.
- Monosaccharide analysis of total and fractioned wall residues revealed that bc10 showed impaired cellulose biosynthesis.
Expression
- BC10 is mainly expressed in the developing sclerenchyma and vascular bundle cells.
Subcellular localization
- BC10 is a Golgi-localized type II membrane protein(Figure 7).

Evolution
Figure 5. Phylogenetic analysis of BC10 homologs from rice and Arabidopsis. The numbers at each node represent the bootstrap support (percentage), and the scale bar is an indicator of genetic distance based on branch length. [1].
- A BLASTX search for BC10 homologs identified 18 and 23 DUF266-containing proteins in the Oryza sativa (japonica) and Arabidopsis thaliana genomes, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that these BC10 homologs are clustered into three major clades, implying that they may have related but distinct functions (Figure 5).
