Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os05g45020
• RAPdb gene ID: Os05g0525900
• Gene Symbol: OsTZF7
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• RNA Binding Protein OsTZF7 Traffics Between the Nucleus and Processing Bodies/Stress Granules and Positively Regulates Drought Stress in Rice.
• Accordingly, the overexpression of OsTZF7 increased drought tolerance and enhanced sensitivity to exogenous ABA in rice, whereas the knockdown of OsTZF7 resulted in the opposite phenotype.
• Together, these results indicate that OsTZF7 positively regulates drought response in rice via ABA signaling and may be involved in mRNA turnover.
• The expression of OsTZF7 was upregulated by abiotic stresses, including polyethylene glycol (PEG) 4000, NaCl, and abscisic acid (ABA) in rice.
• In this study, we characterized the biological and molecular functions of a novel tandem zinc finger protein, OsTZF7.
• We demonstrated that OsTZF7 can traffic between the nucleus and PBs/SGs, and the leucine-rich nuclear export signal (NES) mediates the nuclear export of OsTZF7.
• RNA-seq analysis revealed that genes related to "response to stress," "abscisic acid signaling," "methylated histone binding," and "cytoplasmic mRNA processing body" are regulated by OsTZF7.
