Nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDK) is a ubiquitous enzyme found in all organisms and cell types, and catalyzes the transfer of the phosphoryl group from a nucleoside triphosphate to a nucleoside diphosphate.

Function
1. Crystal structure of nucleoside diphosphate kinase required for coleoptile elongation in rice [1] 2. OsNDPK1 expression in rice plants is enhanced upon infection with bacterial pathogens [2]
Expression
Transcripts of OsNDPK1 accumulated strongly after infection with Xoo. When rice plants were infected with Burkholderia glumae, a bacterial grain/seedling rot pathogen, the pattern of expression of the rice NDPK genes was similar to that following infection with Xoo. OsNDPK1 gene expression was also strongly induced in response to exposure to salicylic acid, jasmonic acid, and abscisic acid, although the level of transcripts and their pattern of expression depended on the inducer.
Evolution
When OsNDPK1 was aligned with other rice NDPK isoforms, it proved to be moderately similar to the conserved regions of NP922751 (76% identity), OsNDPK2 (67% identity), and OsNDPK3 (55% identity).
