The rice gene Os09g0511000 is known as OsCERK1. OsCERK1 encodes a receptor-like kinase called OsCERK1 which is essential for chitin elicitor signaling in rice cells.

Annotated Information

Function

OsCERK1 encoded a receptor-like kinase called OsCERK1

OsCERK1 encoded a receptor-like kinase consisting of 624 amino acid residues, containing a signal peptide, an extracellular domain, a transmembrane region and an intracellular Ser/Thr kinase domain (Figure 1).
Figure 1 Amino acid sequence of OsCERK1 predicted from the cDNA. Underlining indicates the sequence corresponding to the LysM motif. EC, extracellular domain; IC, intracellular domain; SP, signal peptide; TM, transmembrane domain.
OsCERK1 is a plasma membrane protein containing one LysM motif in the extracellular domain and an intracellular Ser/Thr kinase domain. [1]

OsCERK1 is essential for chitin elicitor signaling in rice cells

Knockdown of OsCERK1 resulted in a marked suppression of the defense responses in rice cells induced by chitin oligosaccharides, indicating a central role for OsCERK1 in chitin signaling in rice. The results of yeast two-hybrid assay indicate that the extracellular domain of OsCERK1 can interact with that of CEBiP, suggesting that OsCERK1 and CEBiP have the potential to form homo- and hetero-oligomers through interaction of their LysM-containing extracellular domains. [1] These results indicated that, in the absence of chitin oligosaccharide elicitor, a major portion of CEBiP exists most likely as homo-oligomers in the plasma membrane, whereas OsCERK1 is mostly present as a monomer. However, when the chitin oligosaccharide elicitor is added to the cells, a portion of CEBiP and OsCERK1 appear to form a hetero-oligomer receptor complex. [1] Other researchers also confirm that these two proteins form a receptor complex that transduces the chitin signal to downstream components for immune responses. [2] [3] [4]

OsCERK1 signal pathway

OsRacGEF1 as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for OsRac1 (rice small GTPase). OsRacGEF1 interacts with OsCERK1 and is activated when its C-terminal S549 is phosphorylated by the cytoplasmic domain of OsCERK1 in response to chitin. Activated OsRacGEF1 is required for chitin-driven immune responses and resistance to rice blast fungus infection. Further, a protein complex including OsCERK1 and OsRacGEF1 is transported from the endoplasmic reticulum to the PM. OsCEBiP, OsCERK1, OsRacGEF1, and OsRac1 function as key components of a defensome critically engaged early during chitin-induced immunity. [5]

Expression

OsCERK1 was expressed in all tissues tested, with weak expression in the flowers (Figure 2). [1]


Evolution

Phylogenies were analyzed by multiple sequence alignment of the protein sequences of the LysM receptor-like kinases. The names of proteins described previously (Zhang et al., 2007) [6] are shown in parentheses for ease of comparison.
