Characterization and in silico analysis of the domain unknown function DUF568-containing gene family in rice (Oryza sativa L.).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Domains of unknown function (DUF) proteins are a number of uncharacterized and highly conserved protein families in eukaryotes. In plants, some DUFs have been predicted to play important roles in development and response to abiotic stress. Among them, DUF568-containing protein family is plant-specific and has not been described previously. A basic analysis and expression profiling was performed, and the co-expression and interaction networks were constructed to explore the functions of DUF568 family in rice.

Results

The phylogenetic tree showed that the 8, 9 and 11 DUF568 family members from rice, Arabidopsis and maize were divided into three groups. The evolutionary relationship between DUF568 members in rice and maize was close, while the genes in Arabidopsis we
