Annotated Information

Gene Symbol

• Os07g0409900 <=> CPK18,OsCPK18

Function

• OsCPK18 is a rice (Oryza sativa) calcium-dependent protein kinase (CDPK), it is as an upstream kinase of MAPK (MPK5) in vitro and in vivo.
• OsCPK18 was shown to phosphorylate and activate MPK5 without affecting the phosphorylation of its TXY motif. Instead, CPK18 was found to predominantly phosphorylate two Thr residues (Thr-14 and Thr-32) that are widely conserved in MAPKs from land plants.
• Further analyses reveal that the newly identified CPK18-MPK5 pathway represses defense gene expression and negatively regulates rice blast resistance.
