Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: BohLOL1
• Gene Name: LSD-one-like 1
• Genome:
• Species: Bambusa oldhamii

Functional Descriptions:

• A cDNA, BohLOL1, encoding a protein containing three zf-LSD1 (zinc finger-Lesions Simulating Disease resistance 1) domains was cloned from growing bamboo (Bambusa oldhamii) shoots.
• A phylogenetic analysis revealed that BohLOL1 is a homolog of Arabidopsis LSD1 and LOL1 (LSD-one-like 1), which have been reported to act antagonistically in controlling cell death via the maintenance of reactive oxygen species homeostasis.
• The results suggest that BohLOL1 participates in bamboo growth and in the response to biotic stress. The DNA-binding assays and subcellular localization studies demonstrated that BohLOL1 is a nuclear DNA-binding protein. BohLOL1 might function through protein-DNA interactions and thus affect the expression of its target genes.
• The results of this study extend the role of plant LSD1 and LOL1 proteins from the regulation of cell death to cell growth. The growth-dependent up-regulation of BohLOL1 expression, which uniquely occurs in growing bamboo, might be one of the critical factors that contribute to the rapid growth of this remarkable plant.
