RESUMO
We collected and completely sequenced 28,469 full-length complementary DNA clones from Oryza sativa L. ssp. japonica cv. Nipponbare. Through homology searches of publicly available sequence data, we assigned tentative protein functions to 21,596 clones (75.86%). Mapping of the cDNA clones to genomic DNA revealed that there are 19,000 to 20,500 transcription units in the rice genome. Protein informatics analysis against the InterPro database revealed the existence of proteins presented in rice but not in Arabidopsis. Sixty-four percent of our cDNAs are homologous to Arabidopsis proteins.

This study was performed to confirm the radiation-chemical properties of the 2-nitroimidazole derivative doranidazole, (+/-)-(2RS,3SR)-3-[(2-nitroimdazol-1-yl)-methoxy]butane-1,2,4-triol [CAS 137339-64-1], PR-350, which was synthesized as a hypoxic cell radiosensitizer with low toxicity. Radiation-chemical experiments using doranidazole showed that (1) unlike O2, it had high reactivity toward not only hydrated electrons (eaq-), but also hydroxyl radicals (.OH), (2) the reduced intermediates of doranidasole had no ability to induce immediate strand breaks of colE1 plasmid DNA, (3) doranidazole enhanced radiation-induced DNA strand breaks of colE1 plasmid DNA in the aqueous state, whereas it did not enhance the base alteration, such as 8-oxo-deoxyguanosine, (4) it enhanced the radiation-induced formation of strand breaks with 3'-phosophate and 3'-phosphoglycolate termini, and (5) it was bound to DNA after irradiation. These facts revealed that the majority of radiation-chemical properties of doranidazole, except for the high reactivity toward OH, were similar to those of oxygen.
