title: Isolation and characterization of a rice cDNA similar to the bovine brain-specific 14-3-3 protein gene.
abstract: We isolated a rice cDNA clone which is similar to the bovine brain-specific 14-3-3 protein (an activator protein of tyrosine and tryptophan hydroxylase involved in the synthetic pathway of monoamine) gene. The deduced amino acid sequence of the cDNA indicated a surprising similarity to a potent inhibitor of Ca(2+)-phospholipid-dependent protein kinase C. DNA blot analysis indicated that this gene is located at more than a single locus in rice genome DNA. Expression of this gene is regulated by external stresses.
