CRK10 — Lactuca sativa

Summary

LsLRR-RLK (CRK10) on chromosome 7 of garden lettuce encodes a transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase with coreceptor activity, protein homodimerization activity, and ATP binding. It is associated with membrane and plasmalemma localization, and is linked to defense responses against bacteria and fungi, innate immune response signaling, regulation of developmental growth, somatic embryogenesis, cell differentiation, brassinosteroid-mediated signaling, and rejection of self pollen. The gene is also associated with structural organization and signal transduction. Related genes in other species connect the family to shoot dry weight, leaf curling, fruit size, and drought tolerance.
