DARMORV10_A10P32370.1 — Brassica napus

Summary

DARMORV10_A10P32370.1 on oilseed rape chromosome A10 encodes a protein with MEKK activity and transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase activity, containing Ser/Thr kinase and pseudokinase domains. It is associated with hormone anabolism, regulation of photosynthesis, detection of visible light, the MAPK cascade, auxin-mediated signaling, cell division regulation, stomatal complex morphogenesis, and the blue light response. The gene product localizes to the plasma membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, endosome, and microtubule organizing center. It has been linked to heterosis, photosynthetic rate, and salt response. Studies of related genes in other species, including NPK1 and systemin receptor SR160, connect the family to mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling.
