Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb120910
• Gene Symbol: ZmPRA1.C1
• Gene Name: MAIZE PRENYLATED RAB ACCEPTOR 1.C1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• MAIZE PRENYLATED RAB ACCEPTOR 1.C1 (ZmPRA1.C1) was identified as a client of ZmHUG1, and heat-induced aggregation of ZmPRA1.C1 was accelerated in the zmhug1 mutant.
• ZmHUG1 interacts directly with ZmPRA1.C1 (PRENYLATED RAB ACCEPTOR 1.C1) and alleviates its heat-induced aggregation. Collectively, ZmHUG1 is an important molecular chaperone involved in maize heat stress tolerance.
• It would be intriguing to test the performance of transgenic maize co-overexpressing ZmPRA1.C1 and ZmHUG1 in response to heat stress in the future.
• We speculate that ZmPRA1.C1 interacts with ZmRabD1/ZmRabD2c and stabilizes their ER membrane distribution to guarantee efficient exporting of different cargo proteins from ER via vesicle trafficking, especially under heat stress conditions.
