MPK11 — Brachypodium distachyon

Summary

BRADI_3G16560V3 (MPK11) on chromosome 3 of Brachypodium distachyon encodes a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP kinase) with protein serine/threonine kinase activity, protein tyrosine kinase activity, and ATP binding. The gene is associated with intracellular signal transduction, regulation of gene expression, and the PRR signaling pathway. It is associated with defense response, response to UV-C, response to wounding, and innate immunity, as well as ABA signaling and cell division. The encoded protein localizes to both the cytoplasm and nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling cascades.
