• Information
  • Symbol: OsCAS
  • MSU: LOC_Os04g08350
  • RAPdb: Os04g0165700
• Publication
  • Heterologous expression analyses of rice OsCAS in Arabidopsis and in yeast provide evidence for its roles in cyanide detoxification rather than in cysteine synthesis in vivo, 2009, J Exp Bot.
• Genbank accession number
  • AAV48542
• Key message
  • Unlike most of the CAS genes reported from dicots, the transcription of OsCAS is promoted by auxins but suppressed by ethylene
  • The subcellular localization of OsCAS was found mostly in the mitochondria by immunogold electron-microscopy
  • Based on a tryptic peptide sequence obtained from a partially purified CAS activity protein preparation in etiolated rice seedlings, the full-length putative rice CAS-encoding cDNA sequence (OsCAS), which is homologous to those O-acetylserine sulphydrylase (OASS) genes, was cloned
