Domain of unknown function (DUF) protein families, which are uncharacterized and numerous within the Pfam database. Recently, studies have demonstrated that DUFs played crucial roles in plant development, but whether, or how, they function in drought resistance remain unclear. In this study, we identified the Os03g0321500 gene, encoding OsbZIP72 binding protein 1 (OsBBP1), as a target of OsbZIP72 using chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing in rice. OsBBP1 is a novel member of DUFs, which localize both in the nuclei and cytoplasm of rice protoplasts...
