RLK1 — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_006G033300, symbol RLK1 and also known as PvRLK1, encodes a protein on chromosome 6 of French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris). The product belongs to the G-type lectin kinase/EP1-like family and possesses protein serine/threonine kinase activity, ATP binding, signaling receptor activity, and calmodulin, SNARE, steroid, and sugar binding. It is associated with immune and defense responses, detection of brassinosteroid stimulus, brassinosteroid-mediated signaling, hormone-mediated signaling, pollen recognition, skotomorphogenesis, seedling development, microtubule bundling, and regulation of molecular function. The protein localizes to the plasma membrane, endosome, and extracellular region. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to drought tolerance.
