Chitin elicitor receptor kinase 1

UniProtKB accession:  A8R7E6

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Lysin motif (LysM) receptor kinase that functions as a cell surface receptor in chitin elicitor (chitooligosaccharides) signaling leading to innate immunity toward both biotic and abiotic stresses (e.g. tolerance to salinity, heavy-metal stresses, and Botrytis cinerea infection). Recognizes microbe-derived N-acetylglucosamine (NAG)-containing ligands. Involved in the resistance to pathogenic fungi Alternaria brassicicola and Erysiphe cichoracearum, probably by sensing microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMP) and pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMP). Plays an essential role in detecting peptidoglycans (e.g. PGNs) and restricting bacterial growth. Target of the bacterial type III effector E3-ligase protein hopAB2/avrPtoB of Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 that mediates ubiquitination and subsequent proteolysis, thus blocking all defense responses by suppressing PAMP-triggered immunity (PTI). Mediates chitin-induced phosphorylation of PBL27 (PubMed:24750441).
