Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb107520
• Gene Symbol: ZmPDRP1
• Gene Name: PDK regulatory protein1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• A primarily immuno-based approach was used to show that PDRP1 is strictly expressed in mesophyll cells and PDRP2 is strictly expressed in bundle sheath strand cells (BSCs).
• We conjectured that PDRP2 likely fulfills a PPDK-regulatory role that differs from the regulatory role PDRP1 fulfills in its regulation of C4 PPDK in MC chloroplasts.
• Immunoblot analysis of PDRP1 and PDRP2 in proteins extracted from isolated mesophyll protoplasts, bundle sheath strands, and intact leaves.
• Taken together, these findings suggest a functional role for PDRP2 in C4 photosynthesis which is distinctly different from the C4 role which PDRP1 fulfills in MCs.
