Gene Details:

• Gene ID: A4A49_14417
• Suggest Gene Name: GLYCINE-RICH RNA-BINDING PROTEIN 7, COLD, CIRCADIAN RHYTHM, AND RNA BINDING 2
• Description: putative flowering gene
• Species: Nicotiana attenuata
• Source: Putative flowering gene from PlantCFG

Protein Features:

• Pfam:  PF00076

Functional Descriptions:

• Encodes a small glycine-rich RNA binding protein that is part of a negative-feedback loop through which AtGRP7 regulates the circadian oscillations of its own transcript. Gene expression is induced by cold. GRP7 appears to promote stomatal opening and reduce tolerance under salt and dehydration stress conditions, but, promotes stomatal closing and thereby increases stress tolerance under conditions of cold tolerance. Loss of function mutations have increased susceptibility to pathogens suggesting a role in mediating innate immune response. Mutants are also late flowering in a non-photoperiodic manner and are responsive to vernalization suggesting an interaction with the autonomous flowering pathway. There is a reduction of mRNA export from the nucleus in grp7 mutants. GRP7:GFP fusion proteins can be found in the cytosol and nucleus. A substrate of the type III effector HopU1 (mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase).
