UniProt Comments
Essential protein. Functions as a histidine kinase and transmits the stress signal to a downstream MAPK cascade. This protein undergoes an ATP-dependent autophosphorylation at a conserved histidine residue in the kinase core, and a phosphoryl group is then transferred to a conserved aspartate residue in the receiver domain. Required for the development of megagametophyte in female gametophyte (embryo sac) independently of cytokinin. Contributes to vascular bundle formation and secondary growth in a cytokinin-independent manner, probably by promoting the maintenance of mitotic activity and/or identity of procambial cells. Seems to influence and promote the cytokinin signaling pathway.
