CDPK — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BdCDPK (BRADI_1G00210V3) on Brachypodium distachyon chromosome 1 encodes a protein containing WD40 repeat domains and is associated with protein kinase C binding, MAP kinase scaffold activity, translation regulator activity, and ribosome binding. The gene is linked to positive regulation of respiratory burst, negative regulation of translational frameshifting, rescue of stalled cytosolic ribosome, ODA assembly, intraciliary transport, upregulation of signal transduction, cellular response to abscisic acid stimulus, MAPK cascade, seed germination, defence response to fungi, and signal transduction. It has been connected to drought, leaf, salt, sheath, starch biosynthesis, seed, phosphatase, gibberellin, grain, grain size, ABA response, jasmonic, jasmonic acid, salicylic acid, and flower. Localisation evidence places the product in the cilium, histone methyltransferase complex, kinetosome, ribosome, RNP, cytosol, plasmalemma, cytoplasm, and nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species associate the family with root, dwarf, seedling, ga, seed development, starch, endosperm, development, stress response, disease resistance, stress, xoo, height, immunity, innate immunity, yield, resistance, disease, and cold stress.
