SCR106 splicing factor modulates abiotic stress responses by maintaining RNA splicing in rice.

ABSTRACT: Plants employ sophisticated molecular machinery to fine-tune their responses to growth, developmental, and stress cues. Gene expression influences plant cellular responses through regulatory processes such as transcription and splicing. Pre-mRNA is alternatively spliced to increase the genome coding potential and further regulate expression. Serine/arginine-rich (SR) proteins, a family of pre-mRNA splicing factors, recognize splicing cis-elements and regulate both constitutive and alternative splicing. Several studies have reported SR protein genes in the rice genome, subdivided into six subfamilies based on their domain structures. Here, we identified a new splicing factor in rice with an RNA recognition motif (RRM) and SR-dipeptides, which is related to the SR proteins, subfamily SC. OsS
