CCaMK — Nicotiana attenuata

Summary

A4A49_21864 (CCaMK) in Nicotiana attenuata encodes a protein with serine/threonine kinase and calmodulin-binding domains, and is annotated with calcium- and calmodulin-dependent kinase activity, MEKK activity, and ATP binding. It is associated with defense response, response to symbiont, response to chitin, MAPK cascade, virus-induced PTGS, and nodulation. The gene is linked to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal colonization and associations, competitive ability, and water use efficiency. Its product localizes to the plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus. Related genes in other species link the family to nodulation and mycorrhizal signaling, and to EC numbers 2.7.11.17, 2.7.11.25, and 2.7.11.1.
