UniProt functional annotation for Q9SR05

UniProt code: Q9SR05.

Organism: Arabidopsis thaliana (Mouse-ear cress).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Viridiplantae; Streptophyta; Embryophyta; Tracheophyta; Spermatophyta; Magnoliopsida; eudicotyledons; Gunneridae; Pentapetalae; rosids; malvids; Brassicales; Brassicaceae; Camelineae; Arabidopsis.
 
Function: Receptor-like protein kinase that controls pollen tube behavior by directing rupture at proper timing to release the sperm cell. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19646876}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=ATP + L-seryl-[protein] = ADP + H(+) + O-phospho-L-seryl- [protein]; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:17989, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:9863, Rhea:RHEA- COMP:11604, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:29999, ChEBI:CHEBI:30616, ChEBI:CHEBI:83421, ChEBI:CHEBI:456216; EC=2.7.11.1;
Catalytic activity: Reaction=ATP + L-threonyl-[protein] = ADP + H(+) + O-phospho-L- threonyl-[protein]; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:46608, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:11060, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:11605, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:30013, ChEBI:CHEBI:30616, ChEBI:CHEBI:61977, ChEBI:CHEBI:456216; EC=2.7.11.1;
Subcellular location: Cell membrane {ECO:0000250}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000250}.
Tissue specificity: Expressed in pollen, but not in pistils or seedlings. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19646876}.
Disruption phenotype: No effect on male fertility and pollen germination, but siliques slightly shorter. Anx1 and anx2 double mutants show defects in male gametophytes due to premature pollen tube rupture. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19646876}.
Miscellaneous: Male paralog of FERONIA, a female factor expressed in synergid cells that controls pollen tube behavior.
Miscellaneous: Named Anxur after the husband of the Etruscan goddess of fertility Feronia.
Similarity: Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Ser/Thr protein kinase family. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00159}.
