Abstract EN
Chromatin-remodeling complexes affect gene expression by using the energy of ATP hydrolysis to locally disrupt or alter the association of histones with DNA.
SWIRM (Swi3p, Rsc8p, and Moira) domain is an alpha-helical domain of about 85 residues in chromosomal proteins.
SWIRM domain-containing proteins make up large multisubunit complexes by interacting with other chromatin modification factors and may have an important function in plants.
However, little is known about SWIRM domain-containing proteins in plants.
In this study, 67 SWIRM domain-containing proteins from 6 plant species were identified and analyzed.
Plant SWIRM domain proteins can be divided into three distinct types: Swi-type, LSD1-type, and Ada2-type.
Generally, the SWIRM domain forms a helix-turn-helix motif commonly found in DNA-binding proteins.
The genes encoding SWIRM domain proteins in Oryza sativa are widely expressed, especially in pistils.
In addition, OsCHB701 and OsHDMA701 were downregulated by cold stress, whereas OsHDMA701 and OsHDMA702 were significantly induced by heat stress.
These observations indicate that SWIRM domain proteins may play an essential role in plant development and plant responses to environmental stress.
