KIN1 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsKIN1 (CSA20G023510) on chromosome 20 of Camelina sativa encodes a protein belonging to the LEA1/2/D7/KIN2 family, with annotated protein kinase, chitosan-binding, chitin-binding, histone-binding, and transmembrane receptor protein kinase activities. The gene is associated with cold acclimation, cellular responses to chitin and bacterial molecules, detection of peptidoglycan and fungal molecules, cell surface PRR signaling, red/far-red light signaling, positive regulation of the hypersensitive response, chromatin modeling, and protein phosphorylation. It is linked to bacterial blight disease resistance, proline content, stomatal closure time, flowering time, and abiotic stress response traits. Observed phenotypes include cold, drought, salt, high light, and freeze tolerance, as well as abscisic acid and dehydration responses. The protein localizes to the nucleus, cytosol, plastid, nucleolus, and plasma membrane.
