Small Sized Yet Powerful: Nuclear Distribution C Proteins in Plants.

ABSTRACT: The family of Nuclear Distribution C (NudC) proteins plays a pivotal and evolutionarily conserved role in all eukaryotes. In animal systems, these proteins influence vital cellular processes like cell division, protein folding, nuclear migration and positioning, intracellular transport, and stress response. This review synthesizes past and current research on NudC family members, focusing on their growing importance in plants and intricate contributions to plant growth, development, and stress tolerance. Leveraging information from available genomic databases, we conducted a thorough characterization of NudC family members, utilizing phylogenetic analysis and assessing gene structure, motif organization, and conserved protein domains. Our spotlight on two Arabidopsis NudC genes,
