A plant receptor-like gene, the S-locus receptor kinase of Brassica oleracea L., encodes a functional serine/threonine kinase

To investigate the catalytic properties of the Brassica oleracea S-locus receptor kinase (SRK), we have expressed the domain that is homologous to protein kinases as a fusion protein in Escherichia coli. Following in vivo labeling of cultures with 32P-labeled inorganic phosphate, we observed phospho...

Description
Summary:To investigate the catalytic properties of the Brassica oleracea S-locus receptor kinase (SRK), we have expressed the domain that is homologous to protein kinases as a fusion protein in Escherichia coli. Following in vivo labeling of cultures with 32P-labeled inorganic phosphate, we observed phosphorylation of the fusion protein on serine and threonine, but not on tyrosine. In contrast, labeling was not observed when lysine-524, a residue conserved among all protein kinases, was mutated to arginine, thus confirming that SRK phosphorylation was the result of intrinsic serine/threonine kinase activity
