DGK1 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

LOC101491290 (DGK1, CaDGK1) on chickpea chromosome 7 encodes a protein with diacylglycerol kinase activity (ATP) that also binds calcium and ATP. The protein contains diacylglycerol kinase catalytic and accessory domains, a C1-like domain, and a phosphatidylethanolamine/diacylglycerol-binding domain. CaDGK1 is associated with intracellular signal transduction, the PLC-activating GPCR signaling pathway, glycerolipid metabolism, and defense response. It localizes to the membrane and cytoplasm. The gene has been connected to grain size and phospholipid metabolism. Related genes in other species link the family to stress response.
