NCBI Protein Information
phytochrome kinase substrate 1
NCBI Summary
Encodes a basic soluble protein which can independently bind to either PHYA or PHYB, regardless of whether the phytochromes are in the Pr or Pfr state. PKS1 can be phosphorylated by oat phyA in vitro in a light regulated manner. It is postulated to be a negative regulator of phyB signalling.

UniProt Comments
May be responsible for light-regulated cytoplasmic sequestration of phytochromes or may be a negative regulator of phytochrome B signaling. Component of the network that modulates the very low-fluence response (VLFR) branch of phyA signaling. Acts positively in PHOT1 signaling. Regulates phytochrome-mediated photomorphogenesis and hypocotyl phototropism. Involved in the control of leaf flattening and leaf positioning. Promotes negative root phototropism and negatively regulates root gravitropism. May act by controlling auxin homeostasis.
