Information
- Symbol: OsTCTP
- MSU: LOC_Os11g43900
- RAPdb: Os11g0660500
Publication
- OsTCTP, encoding a translationally controlled tumor protein, plays an important role in mercury tolerance in rice., 2015, BMC Plant Biol.
Genbank accession number
Key message
- Overexpression of OsTCTP potentiated the activities of several antioxidant enzymes, reduced the Hg-induced H2O2 levels, and promoted Hg tolerance in rice, whereas knockdown of OsTCTP produced opposite effects
- Our results suggest that OsTCTP is capable of decreasing the Hg-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS), therefore, reducing the damage of ROS and enhancing the tolerance of rice plants to Hg stress
- OsTCTP was induced by mercuric chloride, cupric sulfate, abscisic acid, and hydrogen peroxide at the protein level in a time-dependent manner
- OsTCTP was found to localize both the cytosol and the nucleus
