The rice gene Os12g0547500 was reported as OsKCH1 in 2010[1] by researchers from Germany.

Annotated Information

Gene Symbol

  • Os12g0547500 <=> OsKCH1, O12

Function

  • Plant kinesins with the calponin-homology domain (KCH) were recently identified and associated with a putative role in microtubule-microfilament cross-linking. OsKCH1 is a member of the KCH in rice.

Mutation

  • kch1 insertion mutants show impaired cell expansion and increased division
  • 'KCH overexpression delays nuclear positioning and mitosis in BY-2 cells.

Expression

  • OsKCH1 is expressed in a development and tissue-specific manner in rice

Evolution
