Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: NbGSTU4
  • Gene Name: glutathione transferase4
  • Genome:
  • Species: Nicotiana benthamiana

Functional Descriptions:

  • The glutathione transferase of Nicotiana benthamiana NbGSTU4 plays a role in regulating the early replication of Bamboo mosaic virus.
  • The results show a significant decrease in BaMV RNA accumulation when the expression level of NbGSTU4 is reduced| whereas the viral RNA accumulation increases when NbGSTU4 is transiently expressed.
  • This study identified that the involvement of NbGSTU4 in viral RNA accumulation occurs by its participation in the viral early replication step.
  • The findings show that the NbGSTU4 protein expressed from Escherichia coli can interact with the 3′ untranslated region (UTR) of the BaMV RNA in vitro in the presence of glutathione (GSH). The addition of GSH in the in vitro replication assay shows an enhancement of minus-strand but not plus-strand RNA synthesis.
