CCAMK — Nicotiana attenuata

Summary

A4A49_38901 (symbol CCAMK) on chromosome 10 of coyote tobacco (Nicotiana attenuata) encodes a non-specific serine/threonine protein kinase with Ca2+/CaM-dependent kinase activity, calmodulin binding, calcium ion binding, and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. It is associated with response to symbiont, nodulation, meiosis, microsporogenesis, and virus-induced post-transcriptional gene silencing. The product localises to the cytoplasm and nucleus. The gene has been associated with drought tolerance. Related genes in other species link the family to calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase activity (EC 2.7.11.17).
