Basic information   
Locus name AT5G01920.1
AliasSTN8
OrganismArabidopsis thaliana
Taxonomic identifier[NCBI]
Function categorykinase
Effect for Senescencedelay
Gene Description Chloroplast thylakoid protein kinase STN8 is specific in phosphorylation of N-terminal threonine residues in D1, D2 and CP43 proteins, and Thr-4 in PsbH protein of photosystem II. Phosphorylation of Thr-4 in the wild type required both light and prior phosphorylation at Thr-2.
EvidenceGenetic evidence:Mutant [Ref 1]
