Abstract:
Profilin proteins (PRFs) are small (12-15 kDa) actin-binding proteins that play an important role in cytoskeletal dynamics and plant growth by regulating actin polymerization. In this study, PRF genes were selected in Brachypodium. Phylogenetic tree and prediction of cis-elements as well as analysis of chromosomal distribution in Brachypodium species were analyzed to evaluate the performance of these genes. Our results showed that the phylogenetic tree of PRF genes of different species (beans, Arabidopsis, Brachypodium and barley) were divided into two groups. Based on chromosomal position analysis, PRF genes were distributed on chromosomes 1 and 2. Also, based on the analysis of PRF protein sequences using MEME database, this protein contained 3 conserved motifs. Our findings can be considered as a useful source for future studies of PRF genes in studies between different plant species. The aim of this study was to identify and describe PRF genes in Brachypodium species through genome analysis.
