LYK3 — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_5G086120, known as LYK3, encodes a LysM receptor-like kinase with transmembrane receptor protein kinase activity, protein serine/threonine kinase activity, chitin binding, and protein homodimerization activity. In barrel medic, LYK3 is associated with nitrogen fixation, response to symbiotic bacteria, response to chitin, regulation of defense responses to fungi and oomycetes, innate immune response signaling, endocytosis, vesicle localization, regulation of reactive oxygen species metabolism, leaf senescence, flower morphogenesis, sepal giant cell differentiation, and plant epidermal cell differentiation. The gene product localizes to the plasma membrane, multivesicular body membrane, and vacuolar lumen.
