Isolation of cDNAs encoding guanine nucleotide-binding protein beta-subunit homologues from maize (ZGB1) and Arabidopsis (AGB1).
Open accessAbstract
We have isolated cDNAs from maize (ZGB1) and Arabidopsis (AGB1) encoding proteins homologous to beta subunits of guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein). The predicted ZGB1 and AGB1 gene products are 76% identical to each other and 41% or more identical to animal G protein beta subunits. Both predicted proteins contain seven repeats of the so-called "WD-40" motif, where WD is Trp-Asp. RNA blot analysis indicates that ZGB1 mRNA is present in the root, leaf, and tassel and that AGB1 mRNA is expressed in the root, leaf, and flower. DNA blot hybridizations indicate that maize and Arabidopsis genomes contain no other genes that are highly similar to ZGB1 and AGB1, respectively, suggesting that the newly isolated G protein beta-subunit homologues are likely to have unique functions. Furthermore, these G protein beta-subunit homologues are conserved among other plant species and may play important role(s) in plant signaling.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
