Characterization, Evolution, Expression and Functional Divergence of the DMP Gene Family in Plants.

ABSTRACT: The DMP (DOMAIN OF UNKNOWN FUNCTION 679 membrane protein) domain, containing a family of membrane proteins specific to green plants, is involved in numerous biological functions including physiological processes, reproductive development and senescence in Arabidopsis, but their evolutionary relationship and biological function in most crops remains unknown. In this study, we scrutinized phylogenetic relationships, gene structure, conserved domains and motifs, promoter regions, gene loss/duplication events and expression patterns. Overall, 240 DMPs were identified and analyzed in 24 plant species selected from lower plants to angiosperms. Comprehensive evolutionary analysis revealed that these DMPs underwent purifying selection and could be divided into five grou
