NUT — Nicotiana attenuata

Summary

A4A49_21036 (NUT) in coyote tobacco (Nicotiana attenuata) on chromosome 11 encodes a leucine-rich repeat receptor-like serine/threonine-protein kinase. The product exhibits transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase activity, peptide hormone binding, and signaling receptor activity, and is associated with peptide receptor activity, steroid binding, SNARE binding, calmodulin binding, and ubiquitin ligase binding. It localizes to the membrane, plant-type cell wall, plasmodesma, endosome, and ER membrane. The gene is associated with response to nutrient levels, regulation of meristem development, autophagy, lignin anabolism, stomatal complex morphogenesis, lateral root development, detection of brassinosteroid stimulus, and upregulation of defense response. Associations include self-incompatibility, brassinosteroid sensitivity, disease resistance, mannitol stress tolerance, abscisic acid signaling, immune signaling, shade avoidance, and root elongation. Related genes in other species are linked to pathogen resistance.
