The invention discloses a rice
cadmium-tolerant
gene OsGSTU5, a coding
protein thereof and application of the rice
cadmium-tolerant
gene OsGSTU5.The rice
cadmium-tolerant
gene OsGSTU5 contains sequences shown as SEQ ID NO:1 in sequence tables or derivatives of the sequences.
Amino acid sequences of the encoding
protein of the rice cadmium-tolerant gene OsGSTU5 are shown as SEQ ID NO:2 in the sequence tables.The rice cadmium-tolerant gene OsGSTU5, the encoding
protein and the application have the advantages that
glutathione (GSH) can be chelated with cadmium under the catalytic effects of
glutathione S-
transferase (GSTs) of the encoding
expression protein of the rice cadmium-tolerant gene OsGSTU5, cadmium
metabolism and isolation can be promoted, and accordingly the cadmium-tolerant capacity of plants can be improved; rice over-expression strains of the rice cadmium-tolerant gene OsGSTU5 are constructed, so that the cadmium stress tolerance capacity of the
rice plants can be improved; physiological characteristics and regulation and control mechanisms of the rice cadmium-tolerant gene OsGSTU5 are researched, so that gene resources and a theoretical basis can be provided for research on physiological functions and regulation and control mechanisms of the plants under cadmium stress, and gene resources can be provided for research on functions of GSTs protein super-families.
