Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os02g54254
• RAPdb gene ID: Os02g0783700 ,Os02g0783625
• Gene Symbol: OsLKR SDH
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• OsLKR/SDH was highly expressed in the aleurone and subaleurone layers of the endosperm.
• Here, we show that OsLKR/SDH is directly regulated by major transcriptional regulators of seed storage protein (SSP) genes: the basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor (TF), RISBZ1, and the DNA-binding with one finger (DOF) transcription factor, RPBF.
• This result was in contrast to the fact that a significant reduction of SSP was observed only when these transcription factors were simultaneously reduced, suggesting that RISBZ1 and RPBF regulate SSP genes and OsLKR/SDH with high and limited redundancy, respectively.
• L), a bifunctional OsLKR/SDH is predominantly present in seeds.
• Reducing either RISBZ1 or RPBF decreased OsLKR/SDH levels, resulting in an increase in free lysine content in rice grain.
