Article Synopsis
  • AtGRDP2 is a glycine-rich domain protein in Arabidopsis thaliana linked to plant growth and salt stress tolerance, containing three functional domains: DUF1399, RNA Recognition Motif (RRM), and a glycine-rich domain.
  • Analysis showed AtGRDP2 localizes in the cytosol and nucleus of tobacco leaf cells, with the DUF1399 and RRM domains being crucial for its nuclear localization.
  • Interaction studies identified several RNA-binding proteins associated with AtGRDP2, indicating its role in post-transcriptional processes across different cellular compartments.

Non-symbiotic hemoglobins (nsHbs) are O(2)-binding proteins widely distributed in land plants, including primitive bryophytes. Little is known about the properties of bryophyte nsHbs. Here, we report the spectroscopic characterization of two moss recombinant nsHbs, CerpurnsHb of Ceratodon purpureus and PhypatnsHb of Physcomitrella patens.
