• Information
  • Symbol: OsCHLH
  • MSU: LOC_Os03g20700
  • RAPdb: Os03g0323200
• Publication
  • Mitochondria provide the main source of cytosolic ATP for activation of outward-rectifying K+ channels in mesophyll protoplast of chlorophyll-deficient mutant rice OsCHLH seedlings, 2004, J Biol Chem.
  • Characterization of a rice chlorophyll-deficient mutant using the T-DNA gene-trap system, 2003, Plant and Cell Physiology.
• Genbank accession number
  • EU569725
• Key message
  • The OsCHLH mutant is unable to fix CO2 and exhibits reduced growth
  • GUS assays and RNA blot analysis showed that expression of the OsCHLH gene is light inducible, while TEM analysis revealed that the thylakoid membrane of the mutant chloroplasts is underdeveloped
  • Mitochondria provide the main source of cytosolic ATP for activation of outward-rectifying K+ channels in mesophyll protoplast of chlorophyll-deficient mutant rice (OsCHLH) seedlings
  • We conclude that mesophyll cells in the OsCHLH rice mutant derive ATP from mitochondrial respiration, and that this is critical for the normal function of plasma membrane outward-rectifying K+ channels
