CRK — Daucus carota subsp. sativus

Summary

DCAR_010909 (DcCRK) on carrot chromosome 3 encodes a protein with CDPK_Ser/Thr_kinases and EF-hand-dom_pair domains, and has annotated molecular functions including protein tyrosine kinase activity, Ca2+/CaM-dependent kinase activity, calcium-dependent protein serine/threonine kinase activity, structural constituent of cytoskeleton, calmodulin binding, calcium ion binding, protein serine kinase activity, protein serine/threonine kinase activity, mRNA binding, and ATP binding. It is associated with microtubule-based process, upregulation of gibberellic acid mediated signaling, intracellular signal transduction, protein autophosphorylation, and defence response to fungi. The gene is linked to gibberellic acid sensitivity, root morphology trait, and salt stress adaptation. Its product localises to the tubulin complex, vacuole, plant-type cell wall, Golgi complex, plasmodesma, membrane, cytosol, and plasmalemma. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to microtubule formation, cold and salt stress tolerance, abscisic acid response, and biotic stress resistance.
