The rice gene Os07g0232800 was reported as OsZIP8 in 2010[1] by researchers from Korea and USA.

Annotated Information

Gene Symbol

  • Os07g0232800 <=> OsZIP8, OsZIP1

Function

  • OsZIP8 is a zinc transporter that functions in Zn uptake and distribution.

Mutation

  • Activation and overexpression of this gene disturbed the zinc distribution in rice plants, resulting in lower levels in shoots and mature seeds, but an increase in the roots. Field-grown transgenic plants were shorter than the WT.

Expression

  • OsZIP8 gene that is strongly up-regulated in shoots and roots under Zn deficiency.

Sublocalization

  • The OsZIP8-GFP fusion proteins were localized to the plasma membrane, suggesting that OsZIP8 is a plasma membrane zinc transporter in rice.
