Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb082380
• Gene Symbol: ZmELP1|mn7
• Gene Name: miniature seed7
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• ZmELP1|mn7, an Elongator complex subunit, is required for the maintenance of histone acetylation and RNA Pol II phosphorylation in maize kernels.
• ZmELP1|mn7 deficiency causes marked reductions in the kernel size and weight. Molecular analyses showed that ZmELP1|mn7 interacts with ZmELP3, which is required for H3K14 acetylation (H3K14ac), and Elongator complex subunits interact with RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) C-terminal domain (CTD).
• ZmELP1|mn7 mutation alters the expression of genes involved in transcriptional regulation and kernel development.
• Our results reveal an important role of ZmELP1|mn7 in the H3K14ac-dependent transcriptional elongation, which is critical for kernel development.
