Identification, characterization and expression profiles of E2 and E3 gene superfamilies during the development of tetrasporophytes in Gracilariopsis lemaneiformis (Rhodophyta).

ABSTRACT: E2 ubiquitin conjugating enzymes and E3 ubiquitin ligases play important roles in the growth and development of plants and animals. To date, the systematic analysis of E2 and E3 genes in Rhodophyta is limited. In this study, 14 E2 genes and 51 E3 genes were identified in Gracilariopsis lemaneiformis, an economically important red alga. E2 genes were classified into four classes according to the structure of the conserved domain, UBC. E3 genes were classified into 12 subfamilies according to individual conserved domains. A phylogenetic tree of seven algae species showed that functional differentiation of RING-type E3s was the highest, and the similarity between orthologous genes was high except in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and Chara braunii. RNA-seq data analysis showed significant differen
