[Cloning of a rice gene encoding a putative BPH-inducible GST-like protein].
BpHi006A cDNA is 1943 bp in length, and contains one putative open reading frame that is 795 bp long. The expression of BpHi006A was induced by BPH feeding. BpHi006A protein contains a N-terminal domain and a C-terminal domain of glutathione S-transferase, and therefore, it belongs to the superfamily of glutathione S-transferase. BpHi006A protein exhibited 61% amino acid sequence identity to tetrachloro-p-hydroquinone reductive dehalogenase-related protein of Arabidopsis thaliana. Sequence analysis of these two proteins indicates that they belong to a new group of plant GSTs.
