DESCRIPTION

Also known as CIPKN_ARATH, CIPK23, LKS1, PKS17, SnRK3.23. CIPK serine-threonine protein kinases interact with CBL proteins. Binding of a CBL protein to the regulatory NAF domain of CIPK protein leads to activation of the kinase in a calcium-dependent manner. Downstream of CBL1, CBL2, CBL3 and CBL9, regulates by phosphorylation the K(+) conductance and uptake of AKT1 in low K(+) condition, in response to calcium signaling and during the stomatal opening regulation by monitoring the turgor pressure in guard cells. In response to low nitrate concentration, phosphorylates NRT1.1, switching it from a low-affinity nitrate transporter to a high-affinity transporter. Confers tolerance to low potassium conditions. Involved in drought sensitivity and leaf transpiration. Part of a K(+)-channel calcium-sensing kinase/phosphatase complex composed by a calcium sensor CBL (CBL1, CBL2, CBL3 or CBL9), a kinase CIPK (CIPK6, CIPK16 or CIPK23), a phosphatase PP2C (AIP1) and a K(+)-channel (AKT1). Interacts with AKT1, CBL1, CBL2, CBL3, CBL5, CBL8, CBL9 and NRT1.1.
