Gene Symbol
- Os11g0701800 <=> OsRIXI,xylanase inhibitor,RIXI
Function
- Rice xylanase inhibitor RIXI is a XIP-type inhibitor that belongs to the glycoside hydrolase family 18 (GH18), which includes plant class III chitinases (EC 3.2.1.14) known as PR-8 proteins.
- The rice RIXI might be involved in environmental responses such as defense against phytopathogens.
Expression
- KJ201, a strain of M. grisea, can infect leaf tissue of O. sativa cv. Nipponbare. The qRT-PCR and sqRT-PCR indicated that RIXI was up- regulated in rice seedlings infected by M. grisea KJ201
- the increased RIXI expression was accompanied by significantly elevated expression of PR-1 and Cht-3 after pathogen infection (Fig. 4a, b). This suggested that xylanase inhibitors could be expressed in combination with other defensive proteins, and used to develop resistance to pathogens.
