NCBI Protein Information
Malectin/receptor-like protein kinase family protein
NCBI Summary
Encodes a synergid-expressed, plasma-membrane localized receptor-like kinase that accumulates asymetrically in the synergid membrnane at the filiform apparatus and mediates male-female gametophyte interactions during pollen tube reception. Also involved in powdery mildew infection.

UniProt Comments
Receptor-like protein kinase that mediates the female control of male gamete delivery during fertilization, including growth cessation of compatible pollen tubes ensuring a reproductive isolation barriers, by regulating MLO7 subcellular polarization upon pollen tube perception in the female gametophyte synergids. Required for cell elongation during vegetative growth, mostly in a brassinosteroids- (BR-) independent manner. Acts as an upstream regulator for the Rac/Rop-signaling pathway that controls ROS-mediated root hair development. Seems to regulate a cross-talk between brassinosteroids and ethylene signaling pathways during hypocotyl elongation. Negative regulator of brassinosteroid response in light-grown hypocotyls, but required for brassinosteroid response in etiolated seedlings. Mediates sensitivity to powdery mildew (e.g. Golovinomyces orontii). Positive regulator of auxin-promoted growth that represses the abscisic acid (ABA) signaling via the activation of ABI2 phosphatase. Required for RALF1-mediated extracellular alkalinization in a signaling pathway preventing cell expansion.
