Protein
Mitogen-activated protein kinase 5
Organism
Oryza sativa subsp. japonica
Function
Involved in disease resistance and abiotic stress tolerance signaling pathways. Acts as a positive regulator of drought, salt and cold tolerance. Negatively modulates pathogenesis-related (PR) gene expression and broad-spectrum disease resistance (PubMed:12615946). Functions downstream of CPK18 in a signaling pathway that represses defense gene expression and negatively regulates resistance to rice blast fungus. Phosphorylated by CPK18 at Thr-14 and Thr-32 and activated independently of MAP kinase kinase (MKK) phosphorylation (PubMed:25035404).
Similarity
Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. CMGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family. MAP kinase subfamily.
