Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb000650
• Gene Symbol: ZmRFWD3
• Gene Name: ring finger and WD40 repeat3
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• The E3 ubiquitin ligase ZmRFWD3 interacts with O2 and positively regulates its activity by enhancing its nuclear localization.
• Loss of function in ZmRFWD3 disrupts the diurnal patterns of O2 cytonuclear distribution and zein biosynthesis, and consequently changes the C/N ratio in mature seeds.
• The activity of O2 responds to Suc levels through the ZmSnRK1-ZmRFWD3-O2 signaling axis.
• A SnRK1-ZmRFWD3-Opaque2 Signaling Axis Regulates Diurnal Nitrogen Accumulation in Maize Seeds
• ZmRFWD3, and O2 Show Diurnal Rhythms during Endosperm Development.
• ZmRFWD3 mutant decrease zein transcription and seed nutrient reserves.
