Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os03g58250
• RAPdb gene ID: Os03g0796900
• Gene Symbol: REB
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• The gene encoding the rice transcription factor, REB (rice endosperm bZIP) was cloned from a bacterial artificial chromosome library of rice.
• The function of the REB gene was explored by a transient assay by using a rice immature endosperm system.
• We isolated a novel bZIP protein (REB) gene encoding 425 amino acid residues from rice endosperm, which is similar to Opaque-2 heterodimerizing protein (OHP) of maize.
• A Super-shift assay using anti-REB antibody suggested that REB is a major DNA-binding protein for the alpha-globulin gene promoter in rice endosperm.
