UniProt functional annotation for Q5VMP0

UniProt code: Q5VMP0.

Organism: Oryza sativa subsp. japonica (Rice).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Viridiplantae; Streptophyta; Embryophyta; Tracheophyta; Spermatophyta; Magnoliopsida; Liliopsida; Poales; Poaceae; BOP clade; Oryzoideae; Oryzeae; Oryzinae; Oryza; Oryza sativa.
 
Function: Involved in strigolactone (SL) signaling (PubMed:23025475, PubMed:24336215, PubMed:24616269). Required for responses to SLs and the establishment of arbuscular mycorrhiza symbiosis in rice (PubMed:23025475). Strigolactone-dependent association of D3 with D14 and D53 (a repressor of SL signaling) triggers D53 ubiquitination and degradation (PubMed:24616269). Controls tillering by suppressing axillary bud activity (PubMed:15659436). Tiller is a specialized grain- bearing branch that is formed on the unelongated basal internode and grows independently of the mother stem (culm) by means of its own adventitious roots (PubMed:15659436). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15659436, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23025475, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24336215, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24616269}.
 
Subunit: Associates to a SCF (SKP1-CUL1-F-box protein) E3 ubiquitin- protein ligase complex (Probable). Interacts with D14 in a strigolactone-dependent manner (PubMed:24336200, PubMed:24336215, PubMed:24616269). Interacts with SKP1, SKP5 and SKP20 (PubMed:24616269). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24336200, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24336215, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24616269, ECO:0000305|PubMed:24616269}.
Subcellular location: Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24616269}.
Tissue specificity: Expressed in leaves (PubMed:15659436). Expressed in roots, culms, leaf blades, leaf sheaths, shoot bases and panicles (PubMed:24616269). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15659436, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24616269}.
Disruption phenotype: Increased number of tillers and reduced plant height. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15659436, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17655651, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18690207, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24616269}.
Sequence caution: Sequence=BAD69289.1; Type=Erroneous gene model prediction; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
