PID2 — Oryza sativa Japonica

Summary

OS10G0562500, designated PID2, encodes a protein with a serine/threonine kinase domain and blue light photoreceptor activity, classified under EC 2.7.11.1. This rice gene on chromosome 10 is associated with the regulation of auxin polar transport and auxin signaling, plant organ development, shoot development, root development, flower development, reproductive structure development, post-embryonic development, and the blue light signaling pathway. The protein localizes to the plasmalemma, cytoplasm, and nucleus, and is associated with protein autophosphorylation and protein phosphorylation. Studies of related genes in other species further associate the family with similar phosphorylation activities.
