Chitin elicitor receptor kinase 1

UniProtKB accession:  A0A0P0XII1

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Lysin motif (LysM) receptor kinase required as a cell surface receptor for chitin elicitor (chitooligosaccharides) signaling leading to innate immunity in response to biotic stresses. Involved in the resistance to pathogenic fungi, probably by sensing microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMP) and pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMP) (PubMed:21070404, PubMed:22891159, PubMed:24964058). Involved in the detection of microbial peptidoglycans (PGNs) and mediates PGN response (PubMed:24964058). Plays dual roles in PGN and chitin signaling during innate immunity. Acts as an adapter for LYP4 and LYP6 and mediates signal transduction from the extracellular to intracellular spaces. Participates in the activation of defense genes during response to PGN and chitin (PubMed:25335639). Phosphorylates the downstream partner RLCK185 in response to chitin elicitation (PubMed:23498959).
