Genome-wide identification and functional characterization of the PheE2F/DP gene family in Moso bamboo.

ABSTRACT:

Background

E2F/DP proteins have been shown to regulate genes implicated in cell cycle control and DNA repair. However, to date, research into the potential role of the Moso bamboo E2F/DP family has been limited.

Results

Here, we identified 23 E2F/DPs in the Moso bamboo genome, including nine E2F genes, six DP genes, eight DEL genes and one gene with a partial E2F domain. An estimation of the divergence time of the paralogous gene pairs suggested that the E2F/DP family expansion primarily occurred through a whole-genome duplication event. A regulatory element and coexpression network analysis indicated that E2F/DP regulated the expression of cell cycle-related genes. A yeast two-hybrid assay and expression analysis based on transcriptome data and in situ hybridization indicat
