Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb209860
• Gene Symbol: RBM48 dek42
• Gene Name: RNA binding motif protein 48
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• The maize (Zea mays) RNA binding motif protein 48 (RBM48) is a U12 splicing factor that functions to promote cell differentiation and repress cell proliferation.
• Protein-protein interactions between RBM48, RGH3, and U2 Auxiliary Factor (U2AF) subunits suggest major and minor spliceosome factors required for intron recognition form complexes with RBM48.
• RBM48 is likely to function in U12 splicing throughout eukaryotes and that U12 splicing promotes endosperm cell differentiation in maize.
• RBM48 mutations disrupt maize seed development.
• RBM48 Disrupts Endosperm Cellular Development.
