STN7 — Arabidopsis thaliana

Summary

AT1G68830, also known as STN7, encodes a protein with a protein kinase domain and serine/threonine kinase activity, and is associated with mRNA binding, ATP binding, and protein binding activities. It is localised to the thylakoid membrane, chloroplast thylakoid, chloroplast envelope, and nucleus. This gene is associated with state transitions, photosynthetic acclimation, light-harvesting complex II phosphorylation, photosystem stoichiometry adjustment, nonphotochemical quenching, and chloroplast avoidance movement. STN7 is linked to growth under fluctuating light, heat stress response, thylakoid membrane stacking, nuclear genome stability, and photosystem II repair and assembly. It is also associated with quantum yield, leaf senescence, oxidative stress response, photochemical quenching, seed production, and plant growth and development traits. Related genes in other species link the family to photosynthetic energy balance, light quality acclimation, and zeaxanthin epoxidation.
