Annotated Information
Gene Symbol
- DQ991205 <=> GW5, OsGW5
Function
- GW5 encodes a novel nuclear protein of 144 amino acids that is localized to the nucleus. GW5 physically interacts with polyubiquitin in a yeast two-hybrid assay.
- GW5 represents a major QTL underlying rice width and weight, and that it likely acts in the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway to regulate cell division during seed development.
Expression
- GW5 is expressed in slender-grain rice.
