NUT — Nicotiana attenuata

Summary

A4A49_10386, also known as NUT or PXC3 in coyote tobacco (Nicotiana attenuata) on scaffold00462, encodes a transmembrane receptor serine/threonine kinase belonging to the plant LRR-RLK family. The product possesses protein kinase, signaling receptor, and steroid- and SNARE-binding activities. This gene is associated with detection of brassinosteroid stimulus, hormone-mediated signaling, autophagy, lignin anabolism, stomatal complex morphogenesis, anther wall tapetum development, microsporogenesis, megasporogenesis, plant ovule development, lateral root development, regulation of cell growth, microtubule bundling, secretion, and activation of salinity response. It is also linked to self-incompatibility. The protein localizes to the plasma membrane, endosome, and extracellular region. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to additional developmental and signaling processes.
