Genome-wide identification and analysis of the UBA2 gene family in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).

ABSTRACT:

Background

RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) participate in multiple aspects of RNA metabolism, which in turn regulates gene expression, thereby involving in organism growth and development. The UBA2 family, one of the subfamilies of RBPs, has been identified in several plant species. However, few researches have been performed to investigate the role of UBA2 in wheat (Triticum aestivum).

Results

In this study, we identified eleven TaUBA2s and divided them into three groups according to their domain characteristics. Phylogenetic analysis was conducted to forecast functional similarities among Arabidopsis, rice, maize and wheat UBA2 genes. Members within the same subfamily of TaUBA2 are relatively conserved in terms of protein structure, motifs, and gene structure. Chromosomal loca
