Genome-Wide Identification of the NRAMP Gene Family in Fagopyrum tataricum
Natural Resistance Associated Macrophage Protein(NRAMP),a highly conserved membrane protein family,plays a widespread role in the transmembrane transport of transition metal ions in plants.In this study,based on genomics,we identify 11 NRAMP genes from the genome of the important cereal crop Fagopyrum tataricum.A systematic analysis of the physical and chemical properties,conserved motifs,gene structures,phylogenetic relationships,three-dimensional structures,and cis-acting elements of the family members is conducted by TBtools,Cell-PLoc,MEGA,SWISS-MODEL,SOPMA and other tools.The results reveal a high consistency in conserved motifs and gene structures within the NRAMP gene family in Fagopyrum tataricum under the same subfamily.Additionally,the promoter regions of Fagopyrum tataricum NRAMP genes contained numerous plant hormone response elements and stress response elements,with distinct distribution patterns among subfamilies.Analysis of the three-dimensional structures,subcellular localization,and cis-acting elements of the encoded proteins of Fagopyrum tataricum NRAMP genes identify differences,particularly in FtNRAMP4,FtNRAMP10,and FtNRAMP11 compared to other FtNRAMP members.The secondary structure of Fagopyrum tataricum NRAMP members is predominantly composed of α-helices,ranging from 35.37%to 63.00%.The results of this study provide a scientific basis for further exploring the functions of the Fagopyrum tataricum NRAMP gene family.
