TOR — Cucumis sativus

Summary

CsTOR (CSA_2G237710) encodes a serine/threonine protein kinase (EC 2.7.11.1) with ATP-binding activity and protein complex binding, belonging to the PI3/4-kinase catalytic domain family and containing SMG1, PIK_FAT, and FATC domains. In cucumber, this gene is associated with TOR signaling, autophagy regulation, DNA damage checkpoint, nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, MAPK cascade, cell wall modification, auxin polar transport, calcium signaling, phenylpropanoid anabolism, immune response, cell growth, and telomere maintenance. It localizes to the TOR complex, cytoplasm, nucleus, and chromosome. CsTOR is associated with photosynthetic rate, quantum yield, leaf senescence, low temperature stress response, and salt tolerance. Related genes in other species are associated with regulation of respiratory burst and metabolic burst.
