title: [Bioinformatic analysis of the 14-3-3 gene family in rice].
abstract: Using two-step HMM (hidden markov model) scan strategy,eight 14-3-3-like proteins were identified by searching the Oryza sativa L. ssp. japonica protein database. From them four genes were newly detected in this study. We confined the genes expressing in Nipponbare by EST search. Expression analysis also showed each gene expressed diversely within any individual,this tends suggested specific function of particular gene. Alignment of amino acid sequences suggested that there could be isoform function of the specific residues. The analyses of gene structure and chromosome location indicated that rice genome contains both epsilon and no-epsilon forms of 14-3-3 proteins. In addition,we analyzed the evolution of the rice 14-3-3 protein family.
