Type: | Family | Name: | RHD3/Sey1 |
Description: | This family consists of plant root hair defective 3 (RHD3) protein and its homologues from other eukaryotes. RHD3 is a conserved protein with putative GTP-binding motifs that is implicated in the control of vesicle trafficking between the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi compartments []. It is required for appropriate root and root hair cells enlargement []. It may play a role in cell wall biosynthesis and actin organisation [, ]. Its homologue from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Sey1, is a dynamin-like GTPase that mediates homotypic ER fusion []. | Short Name: | RHD3/Sey1 |
