| UniProt functional annotation for O80992 | |||
| UniProt code: O80992. |
| 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 for abscisic acid (ABA) required for ABA-mediated responses such as stomatal closure and germination inhibition. Inhibits the activity of group-A protein phosphatases type 2C (PP2Cs) when activated by ABA (PubMed:19893533, PubMed:19898420, PubMed:23844015, PubMed:21658606). Can be activated by both (-)-ABA and (+)-ABA (PubMed:23844015). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19893533, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19898420, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21658606, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23844015}. | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer (PubMed:19898420, PubMed:21658606). Binds ABA on one subunit only. Interacts with HAB1, ABI1 and ABI2, and possibly with other PP2Cs (PubMed:19407142, PubMed:19893533, PubMed:19898420). Binds to CARs protein in an ABA-independent manner, both at the plasma membrane and in the nucleus (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O49686, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19407142, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19893533, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19898420, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21658606}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9FLB1}. Nucleus {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O49686}. Cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O49686}. Note=Localizes at the plasma membrane in the presence of a CAR protein. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O80920}. | |
| Domain: | Upon interaction with ABA, the 'latch' and 'gate' loops change in conformation leading to a tight dimerization and the creation a surface that enables the receptor to dock into and inhibit the PP2C active site. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19898420}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the PYR/PYL/RCAR abscisic acid intracellular receptor family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
