Functional Descriptions:

• Through genetic and molecular analyses of a small kernel 501 (Smk501) mutant in maize (Zea mays), we cloned the Smk501 gene, revealed its molecular function, and defined its roles in RUBylation pathway and seed development.
• Smk501 encodes a RUBylation activating enzyme E1 subunit ZmECR1 (E1 C-TERMINAL RELATED 1) protein.
• Smk501 gene, revealed its molecular function, and defined its roles in RUBylation pathway and seed development.
• Smk501 knockdown affects cell proliferation and hormone homeostasis.
• Small kernel 501 (Smk501) encodes the RUBylation activating enzyme E1 subunit ECR1 (E1 C-TERMINAL RELATED 1) and is essential for multiple aspects of cellular events during kernel development in maize.
