CRK — Daucus carota subsp. sativus

Summary

DCAR_025718 (DcCRK) on carrot chromosome 7 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 tyrosine kinase activity, protein serine kinase activity, protein serine/threonine kinase activity, ATP binding, mRNA binding, and structural constituent of cytoskeleton activity. It is associated with microtubule-based processes, intracellular signal transduction, protein autophosphorylation, response to cold, response to thirst, defence response to fungi, upregulation of gibberellic acid mediated signaling, and activation of salinity response. The gene is linked to gibberellic acid sensitivity, root morphology trait, salt tolerance, gibberellin response, and salt stress adaptation. Its product localizes to the tubulin complex, vacuole, plant-type cell wall, Golgi complex, plasmodesma, membrane, cytosol, and plasmalemma. Related genes in other species connect the family to microtubule formation, cold and salt stress tolerance, abscisic acid response, and biotic stress resistance.
