Genome-Wide Identification, Evolution, and Expression Analysis of RING Finger Gene Family in Solanum lycopersicum.

ABSTRACT: RING domain proteins generally have E3 ubiquitin ligase activity and are involved in degrading their substrate proteins. The roles of these proteins in growth, development, and responses to different abiotic stresses have been described well in various plant species, but little is available on tomatoes. Here, we identified 474 RING domains in 469 potential proteins encoded in the tomato genome. These RING genes were found to be located in 12 chromosomes and could be divided into 51 and 11 groups according to the conserved motifs outside the RING domain and phylogenetic analysis, respectively. Segmental duplication could be the major driver in the expansion of the tomato RING gene family. Further comparative syntenic analysis suggested that there have been functional divergences of RING gen
