Nucleotide sequence of oat (Avena sativa L.) cDNA encoding an auxin-binding protein (ABP1)

We isolated and determined a nucleotide sequence of a cDNA clone encoding a protein homologous to maize major auxin-binding protein (ABP1) from a cDNA library of oat coleoptiles. The deduced amino acid sequence of this clone contained an N-linked glycosylation signal and an ER-retention signal. Furthermore, two domains that were important to interact with auxins, were conserved in this clone at amino acid level.
