Oryza protein information

[Chih-Wei Tung]

Hi Dr. Santos,

This protein Q7XK24 (Transcript Loc_Os04g40300) was annotated as "  
transglutaminase putative, expressed" by TIGR through automatic and  
manual curation
(http://www.tigr.org/tdb/e2k1/osa1/LocusNameSearch.shtml). It  
indicated this is a predicted coding region and the function of this  
protein was suggested by computational analysis, but not by any  
experimental evidence.  I did blastp to compare Q7XK24 to other  
protein sequences, the result showed Q7XK24 is 72% identical to  
transglutaminase in Zea mays (CAD32336).  Currently, I wouldn't be  
able to find any literatures or references to associate with Q7XK24,  
we will keep you informed once we have any updates on this protein.

Sincerely,


Chih-Wei Tung
Gramene Curator
