TMK4 — Glycine max

Summary

GmTMK4 (GLYMA_05G150800V4) on soybean chromosome 5 encodes a protein with auxin-responsive kinase, leucine-rich repeat, and serine/threonine/tyrosine kinase domains. The protein exhibits transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase activity, protein serine kinase activity, protein serine/threonine kinase activity, ATP binding, signaling receptor activity, steroid binding, SNARE binding, receptor serine/threonine kinase binding, protein heterodimerization activity, protein homodimerization activity, and protein binding. It is associated with regulation of auxin biosynthetic process, cell growth, multidimensional cell growth, cell wall modification, regulation of leaf senescence, nitrogen fixation, response to nematode, response to polyamine, polyamine anabolism, glutamate homeostasis, salicylic acid anabolism, heme anabolism, one carbon metabolism, glyoxylate cycle, homologous recombination, virus-induced PTGS, secretion, and microtubule bundling. Localization evidence links it to the membrane, plasmalemma, endosome, Golgi complex, plasmodesma, extracellular region, and macromolecule complex. The gene has been associated with leaf chlorophyll content, flower color, seed coat color, seed weight, seed size, primary root growth, lateral root development, and auxin biosynthesis. Related genes in other species link the family to phosphorus uptake, root morphology, enlarged root meristem and longer root hairs.
