PKS2 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

LOC101498077 (CaPKS2, also known as CIPK10 or SNRK3.2) on chickpea chromosome 5 encodes a protein with a NAF/FISL domain and serine/threonine kinase activity, annotated with calcium-dependent protein serine/threonine phosphatase activity, kinase binding, calcium ion binding, and ATP binding. It is associated with salinity response, hypotonic salinity response, cellular potassium ion homeostasis, calcium signaling, osmotic response, and signal transduction. The protein localizes to the tonoplast, plant-type vacuole, plasmalemma, cytosol, and nucleus. CaPKS2 is linked to drought tolerance, flowering time, root hair length, stomatal opening and closure, magnesium sensitivity, and enzyme activity traits. Related genes in other species are linked to salt tolerance, potassium nutrition, ion homeostasis, and guard cell anion channel regulation.
