General annotation (Comments)
| Function | Involved in cortical microtubules organization and stabilization by regulating the phosphorylation state of microtubule-associated proteins such as MAP65-1. Involved in root hair development process. Negative regulator of systemic acquired resistance (SAR) and salicylic acid- (SA) mediated defense response. Required for jasmonic acid- (JA) mediated defense gene expression. May regulate activity of transcription factor controlling pathogenesis-related (PR) gene expression. Seems to act independently of the SAR regulatory protein NPR1 (Nonexpresser of PR1). Phosphorylates MKS1 and transcription factors WRKY25 and WRKY33. May be involved in the cold and salinity stress-mediated MAP kinase signaling cascade (MEKK1, MEK1/MKK2 and MPK4/MPK6). May act as negative regulator of salt tolerance. Ref.10 Ref.16 Ref.17 Ref.18 Ref.20 |
| Catalytic activity | ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein. |
| Enzyme regulation | Activated by threonine and tyrosine phosphorylation. Activated by the MAP kinase kinases MEK1 and MKK2. Activated in response to touch, wounding, low temperature, low humidity, salt stress and the bacterial elicitors flagellin and harpin. Repressed by the protein phosphatase 2C AP2C1. Repressed by DSPTP1-mediated dephosphorylation. Ref.9 Ref.11 Ref.12 Ref.13 Ref.14 Ref.16 Ref.17 Ref.19 |
| Subunit structure | Interacts with MEKK1, MEK1 and MKK2. May form a ternary complex with MEKK1 and MEK1 or MKK2. Interacts with MKS1 and AP2C1. May form a ternary or larger complex with MKS1 and WRKY25 and/or WRKY33. Interacts with MAP65-1. Ref.8 Ref.17 Ref.18 Ref.19 Ref.20 |
| Subcellular location | Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Cytoplasm › cytoskeleton. Note: Translocated into the nucleus in response to phosphorylation Probable. Ref.18 |
| Tissue specificity | Expressed in the veins and stomatal guard cells of leaf plates, petioles, stem, roots and flowers. Ref.10 Ref.20 |
| Developmental stage | Observed in root epidermal cells and root hairs, especially in the root hair formation zone. During root hair development, both observed in root hair bulges and in young outgrowing root hairs. Ref.20 |
| Domain | The TXY motif contains the threonine and tyrosine residues whose phosphorylation activates the MAP kinases. |
| Post-translational modification | Dually phosphorylated on Thr-201 and Tyr-203, which activates the enzyme. Autophosphorylated on serine and tyrosine residues. Dephosphorylated by DSPTP1. Ref.9 Ref.11 Ref.12 |
| Disruption phenotype | Dwarf plants with cytokinetic defects in leaf epidermal cells. Abnormally developed and branched root hairs. Heavily bundled and disoriented cortical microtubules resistant to oryzalin. Ref.20 |
| Sequence similarities | Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. CMGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family. MAP kinase subfamily. Contains 1 protein kinase domain. |
| Sequence caution | The sequence AAB61033.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous gene model prediction. |
