Disease relevance of RD19

 

High impact information on RD19

  • Putative proteins, RD19 and RD21, encoded by two of the RD cDNAs have amino acid (aa) sequences typical of the catalytic sites of cysteine proteinases (CysP) [1].
  • Northern blot analysis revealed that both the RD19 and RD21 mRNAs were not induced by abscisic acid [1].
  • The two genes corresponding to RD19 and RD21 (rd19A and rd21A, respectively) were cloned and their structural analysis revealed the presence of two and four introns, respectively [1].
  • The cDNAs are most similar (73-89% at the amino acid level) to dehydration-responsive cysteine proteases previously isolated from Arabidopsis thaliana (RD19, RD21) [2].
