E. Einzenberger et al., ISOLATION AND EXPRESSION DURING POLLEN DEVELOPMENT OF A TOBACCO CDNA CLONE ENCODING A PROTEIN-KINASE HOMOLOGOUS TO SHAGGY GLYCOGEN-SYNTHASEKINASE-3, Biochimica et biophysica acta, N. Gene structure and expression, 1260(3), 1995, pp. 315-319
We have isolated a tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) cDNA clone encoding
a putative serine/threonine protein kinase, which shows highest homolo
gy to previously described families of alfalfa and Arabidopsis protein
kinases and to their homologues rat glycogen synthase kinase-3 and Dr
osophila shaggy kinases. Northern experiments showed that NtK-4 is exp
ressed in all sporophytic tobacco tissues tested, as well as in gameto
phytic and embryogenic pollen.
