CDPK1 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

CDPK1 on chickpea chromosome 7 encodes a protein containing PRP38_C, CDPK_Ser/Thr_kinases, EF_hand_dom, EF_Hand_1_Ca_BS, and Kinase-like_dom_sf domains. The gene is associated with diverse molecular functions including camalexin binding, quercitrin binding, phosphoglucomutase activity, DNA polymerase binding, kinase inhibitor activity, glutathione binding, cyclin-dependent protein kinase inhibitor activity, sucrose:proton symporter activity, 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratase activity, protein tyrosine phosphatase activity, ABC-type indole transporter activity, nucleosomal DNA binding, protease binding, and ATP-dependent protein folding chaperone activity. CDPK1 is linked to biological processes such as regulation of cytokinesis, negative regulation of the cell cycle, carbohydrate membrane transport, DNA replication checkpoint, cellular copper ion homeostasis, induced systemic resistance via ethylene-mediated signaling, upregulation of chlorophyll breakdown, and preprophase band assembly. The gene localizes to the cortical microtubule cytoskeleton, cortical cytoskeleton, proton-transporting V-type ATPase V1 domain, fatty acid elongase complex, nuclear microtubule, male germ cell nucleus, and apical plasma membrane. CDPK1 is associated with agronomically relevant traits including leaf attitude, leaf elongation rate, total soluble sugar content, root number, adventitious root number, lateral root number, cellulose content, proline content, phototropism
