Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os01g56880
• RAPdb gene ID: Os01g0776600
• Gene Symbol: OsPAP10a
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• In gel activity assays of root and shoot protein extracts, it was revealed that OsPAP10a is a major acid phosphatase isoform induced by Pi starvation.
• Constitutive overexpression of OsPAP10a results in a significant increase of phosphatase activity in both shoot and root protein extracts.
• In vivo root 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-phosphate (BCIP) assays and activity measurements on external media showed that OsPAP10a is a root-associated APase.
• Overexpression of OsPAP10a, a root-associated acid phosphatase, increased extracellular organic phosphorus utilization in rice.
• The transcript abundance of OsPAP10a is specifically induced by Pi deficiency and is controlled by OsPHR2, the central transcription factor controlling Pi homeostasis.
• These results indicate that OsPAP10a can potentially be used for crop breeding to improve the efficiency of P use.
