Rice is an important cereal crop believed to have been cultivated for hundred years. The ancestry and evolution of this plant and its diverse cultivars remain contentious. Thus, determining the cultivar's molecular mechanism of abiotic stress-responsive genes using a bioinformatics system continues to be an area to investigate. For better knowledge of the mechanisms of the abiotic stress-responsive gene from rice, a novel stress-related gene named OsTHIC was selected for this study. The OsTHIC gene accessions were collected from NCBI, then predict its secondary structure. I-TASSER server was used to predict the 3-dimensional [3D] model of the gene protein and validated using ERRAT and Ramachandran plot. The OsTHIC gene appeared to be highly conserved and structurally functional. The secondary structure of the OsTHIC indicated a high percentage of a random coil [47.35%], followed by an alpha helix [45.05%], then an extended strand [10.61%]. The prediction using I-TASSER modeller produced structures based on the protein sequence. The protein 3D model showed different model qualities using the two-refinement software which ERRAT Plot model refinement having the best score at 97.266%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
