Annotated Information
Gene Symbol
- Os08g0126700 <=> OsC3H54
Function
- Genes in the CCCH family encode zinc finger proteins containing the motif with three cysteines and one histidine residues. [1] [2]
- CCCH-type zinc finger proteins have essential functions in various developmental processes in plants.
- CCCH family genes have been known to play important roles in RNA processing as RNA-binding proteins.
- CCCH-type zinc finger proteins are RNA-binding proteins by virtue of the ability of their defining motif to directly bind to RNA, whereas most of the other zinc finger families are confirmed as DNA-binding or protein-binding proteins.
Expression
- The expression profile indicated that most members of this subfamily are regulated by abiotic or biotic stresses, suggesting that they could have an effective role in stress tolerance.
Evolution
- A typical CCCH protein usually contains 1–6 CCCH-type zinc finger motifs.
- Based on the different numbers of amino acid spacers between cysteines and histidines in the CCCH motif, a consensus sequence for these was defined as C-X 4–15 -C-X 4–6 -C-X 3 -H (X represents any amino acid) based on the whole-genome analysis of rice and Arabidopsis CCCH proteins [1] [2]
