Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os04g08350
• RAPdb gene ID: Os04g0165700
• Gene Symbol: OsCAS
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• Unlike most of the CAS genes reported from dicots, the transcription of OsCAS is promoted by auxins but suppressed by ethylene.
• The subcellular localization of OsCAS was found mostly in the mitochondria by immunogold electron-microscopy.
• Based on a tryptic peptide sequence obtained from a partially purified CAS activity protein preparation in etiolated rice seedlings, the full-length putative rice CAS-encoding cDNA sequence (OsCAS), which is homologous to those O-acetylserine sulphydrylase (OASS) genes, was cloned.

Function-related keywords:

• ethylene ,  mitochondria ,  seedling ,  auxin

Literature:

• Heterologous expression analyses of rice OsCAS in Arabidopsis and in yeast provide evidence for its roles in cyanide detoxification rather than in cysteine synthesis in vivo .  DOI:  10.1093/jxb/ern343 ;  PMID:  19181864
