Molecular and Functional Analysis of U-box E3 Ubiquitin Ligase Gene Family in Rice (Oryzasativa).

ABSTRACT: Proteins encoded by U-box type ubiquitin ligase (PUB) genes in rice are known to play an important role in plant responses to abiotic and biotic stresses. Functional analysis has revealed a detailed molecular mechanism involving PUB proteins in relation to abiotic and biotic stresses. In this study, characteristics of 77 OsPUB genes in rice were identified. Systematic and comprehensive analyses of the OsPUB gene family were then performed, including analysis of conserved domains, phylogenetic relationships, gene structure, chromosome location, cis-acting elements, and expression patterns. Through transcriptome analysis, we confirmed that 16 OsPUB genes show similar expression patterns in drought stress and blast infection response pathways. Numerous cis-acting elements were found in promot
