RLK1 — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_002G046100, designated PvRLK1, encodes a protein on chromosome 2 of French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris). The product contains G-type lectin kinase, S-locus glycoprotein, bulb-type lectin, and Ser/Thr kinase domains, and exhibits protein serine kinase activity, calmodulin binding, sugar binding, and ATP binding. PvRLK1 is associated with pollen recognition, rejection of self-pollen, immune response, defense response, and signal transduction, and localizes to the membrane and extracellular region. The gene is also linked to regulation of molecular function and response to other organisms. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to drought tolerance.
