CRK — Daucus carota subsp. sativus

Summary

DCAR_010578 (DcCRK4) on carrot chromosome 3 encodes a protein with CDPK_Ser/Thr_kinases and EF-hand-dom_pair domains, and is annotated with calcium-dependent protein serine/threonine kinase activity, calmodulin binding, calcium ion binding, protein serine kinase activity, protein serine/threonine kinase activity, and ATP binding. The gene is associated with intracellular signal transduction, protein autophosphorylation, and defence response to fungi. Its product localises to the plasmodesma, membrane, plasmalemma, cytoplasm, and nucleus. Related genes in other species link the family to non-specific serine/threonine protein kinase activity (EC 2.7.11.1 and 2.7.11.17).
