Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os05g49220
• RAPdb gene ID: Os05g0567300
• Gene Symbol: WSL6
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• WSL6 encoding an Era-type GTP-binding protein is essential for chloroplast development in rice.
• Rice WSL6 is involved in chloroplast ribosome biogenesis and is essential for early chloroplast development.
• Transmission electron microscopy analysis showed that the WSL6 mutant was defective in early chloroplast development.
• Further research showed that WSL6 binds to the 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) subunit of chloroplast ribosome 30S.
• In summary, these results show that WSL6 is essential for chloroplast ribosome biogenesis during early chloroplast development in rice.
• Map-based cloning revealed that WSL6 encodes an Era-type guanosine-5’-triphosphate (GTP)-binding protein located in chloroplasts.
