Characterization of a calmodulin binding protein kinase fromArabidopsis thalian

  • Reports
  • Published:
Chinese Science Bulletin

Abstract

A full-length calmodulin binding protein kinase cDNA,AtCBK1, fromArabidopsis has been isolated by screening of anArabidopsis cDNA library and by 5′-RACE. Northern blot andin situ hybridization indicated that the expression ofAtCBK1 was more abundant in the vascular bundles and the meristems than in other tissues. The phylogenetic analyses reveal thatAtCBK1 is different from animal CaMKs and it falls into CRK subgroup, indicating that they may come from different ancestors. The result suggests thatAtCBK1 encodes a CaM-binding serine/threonine protein kinase.
