Os03g0356414

The rice Os03g0356414 was reported as OsDIS1 in 2011 by researchers from the China.

Annotated Information

Gene Symbol

• Os03g0356414 <=> OsDIS1

Function

• OsDIS1 plays a negative role in drought stress tolerance through transcriptional regulation of diverse stressrelated genes and possibly through posttranslational regulation of OsNek6 in rice.

Expression

• The expression of OsDIS1 was up-regulated by drought treatment. In vitro ubiquitination assays showed that OsDIS1 possessed E3 ubiquitin ligase activity and that the conserved region of the RING finger was required for the activity. Transient expression assays in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves and rice protoplasts indicated that OsDIS1 was localized predominantly in the nucleus.

Evolution

• Overexpression of OsDIS1 reduced drought tolerance in transgenic rice plants, while RNA interference silencing of OsDIS1 enhanced drought tolerance.
