ASR gene family: a case of tandem-drive evolution.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

ABA, Stress, and Ripening (ASR) proteins are characterized by the presence of the ABA/WDS domain and are involved in plant development processes and tolerance to abiotic and biotic stresses. Despite their importance as transcription factors or molecular chaperones, a complete understanding of their biological roles is limited by a lack of information on their mechanisms of action, protein structure, and evolutionary relationships between family members. Our previous molecular dynamics simulation analysis of rice OsASR5 suggested that H⁹¹, R⁹², H⁹³, and K⁹⁴, are the main residues involved in the interaction with DNA, essential for the transcription factor activity of this protein. However, the presence and conservation of the
