The rice Os05g0580500 was reported as Rad21/Rec8 [1] in 2006, by researchers from China

Annotated Information

Gene Symbol

  • Os05g0580500 <=> OsRAD21-4, OsREC8, OsRad21-4, REC8

Function

  • Rad21/Rec8 is an important component and key regulator of cohesins. OsRAD21-4, a RAD21-like gene from rice Zhonghua 10 (Oryza sativa L. ssp.japonica), is a single-copy gene in the rice genome and essential for efficient meiosis.
  • OsRad21-4 is composed of 20 exons and 19 introns.[1] It encodes a relatively hydrophilic protein and contains the entire Pfam04825 and Pfam04824 domains (spanning amino acids 1–115 and 554–608, respectively) (Figure 2A), of which Pfam04825 is highly conserved in all known members and Pfam04824 present in most of the Rad21/Rec8 family.[1][2] The two domain regions are spaced by a long linker sequence (amino acids 116-553).[1]
  • This linker sequence contains a potential nuclear targeting motif at positions 272–279 (KRKKRRKD), 2 separase recognition sites at 411–421 (ADDIEKLRGNT) and 420–430 (NTSGEYGRDYD) and a PEST motif at 511– 534 (RLSDVGPTPDLLEEIEPTQTPYEK) (Figure 2A)[1]. These motifs are proposed to be implicated in function regulation in cohesion establishment and disassociation.[1][3]
  • The deficiency of OsRad21-4 at the mRNA and protein is correlated with pollen cell sterility phenotype.(Figure6)[1] OsRad21-4 was essential to meiosis. (Figure7, Figure8)[1] In addtion, OsRad21-4 is responsible for the pairing of some homologous chromosomes.(Figure9, Figure10)[1]

Expression

Figure2(B)
  • OsRad21-4 is present in the rice genome as a single-copy gene.[1] The mRNA and protein of OsRad21-4 were expressed preferentially in young flowers where the pollen mother cells (PMCs) were in pre-meiotic stages.[1] As shown in Figure 3A, OsRad21-4 was expressed preferentially in flowers, weakly in leaves and barely in buds and roots.[1]
  • Furthermore, OsRad21-4 was expressed dominantly just before the premeiotic stage of PMCs.(Figure 3C)[1] This gene should function in premeiotic and meiotic PMCs, which is consistent with this notion that meiotic cohesion is established at the pre-meiotic S phase. (Figur 4)[4]

Evolution

  • OsRad21-4 is a rice orthologue of yeast Rec8.(Figure2(C))[1] In rice, OsRad21-4 is required for homologous pairing and segregation.[1] It might be responsible mainly for sister chromatid-arm cohesion and to a lesser extent or not at all for centromere cohesion.[1]
  • In addition, OsRad21-4 is required for chromosome condensation.[1] Besides, Zhang et al suggest possible link between Rec8 proteins and chromosome fragmentation in higher eukaryotes.[1] Furthermore, appearance of micronuclei and/or undetached dinuclei-containing spores and unequal cell division at anaphase I and II in the deficient plants were similar to those reported in mutants of genes related to other early events of meiosis prophase I[5], suggesting possible interaction of early events of prophase I.
