KIN10 — Arabidopsis thaliana

Summary

AT3G01090 (KIN10, also known as AKIN10 or SnRK1.1) encodes a non-specific serine/threonine protein kinase. The gene is associated with AMP kinase activity, protein kinase regulator activity, maltose binding, cyclin dependent protein kinase inhibitor activity, protein kinase activator activity, cyclin binding, enzyme activator activity, phosphoinositide binding, phosphatase binding, protein kinase binding, phosphatase activity, protein phosphatase activity, SUMO transferase activity, and protein serine/threonine phosphatase activity. It is linked to biological processes including cellular response to glucose starvation, regulation of autophagy, macroautophagy, negative regulation of gibberellin biosynthetic process, fatty acid homeostasis, and amino acid breakdown. KIN10 is associated with traits such as drought recovery, shoot elongation under submergence, seed protein content, nitrate content, iron content, copper concentration, leaf water potential, vegetative vigor, and responses to salinity, alkali soil, and UV light. The protein localizes to the nucleotide-activated protein kinase complex, chloroplast starch grain, male germ cell nucleus, and nuclear speck. Related genes in other species have been linked to tuber induction in potato and seed storage protein expression in yeast.
