Gene: Sopen08g021650

General Information

Description A member of a large family of seven-transmembrane domain proteins specific to plants, homologs of the barley mildew resistance locus o (MLO) protein. The Arabidopsis genome contains 15 genes encoding MLO proteins, with localization in plasma membrane. Phylogenetic analysis revealed four clades of closely-related AtMLO genes. ATMLO5 belongs to the clade III, with AtMLO7, AtMLO8, AtMLO9, and AtMLO10. The gene is expressed during seedling growth, in cotyledon vascular system, and in stigma, anther and pollen grains | it was not expressed in rosette leaves, as shown by GUS activity patterns. The expression of several phylogenetically closely-related AtMLO genes showed similar or overlapping tissue specificity and analogous responsiveness to external stimuli, suggesting functional redundancy, co-function, or antagonistic function(s). | MILDEW RESISTANCE LOCUS O 5 (MLO5) | FUNCTIONS IN: calmodulin binding | INVOLVED IN: cell death, defense response | LOCATED IN: integral to membrane, plasma membrane | EXPRESSED IN: 11 plant structures | EXPRESSED DURING: L mature pollen stage, M germinated pollen stage, 4 anthesis, petal differentiation and expansion stage | CONTAINS InterPro DOMAIN/s: Mlo-related protein | BEST Arabidopsis thaliana protein match is: Seven transmembrane MLO family protein
