CCAMK — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_4G112900, also known as CCAMK, encodes a protein with a Ser/Thr kinase domain in barrel medic (Medicago truncatula) on chromosome 4. The product possesses calcium ion binding, calmodulin binding, calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase activity, calcium-dependent protein serine/threonine kinase activity, protein serine kinase activity, protein serine/threonine kinase activity, and ATP binding. CCAMK is associated with nodulation, nitrogen fixation, response to symbiont, intracellular signal transduction, cell death, organogenesis, morphogenesis, lipid transport, fatty acid anabolism, ethylene anabolism, and cytokinin signaling. The protein localizes to the plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus. Related genes in other species link the broader CCaMK family to calcium-mediated signaling processes.
