Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb013610
• Gene Symbol: ZmDRIK1
• Gene Name: Restorer-of-fertility 1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• ZmDRIK1, a stress-responsive receptor-like pseudokinase whose expression is downregulated under water restriction.
• The ZmDRIK1 kinase domain lacks conserved amino acids that are essential for phosphorylation activity. The crystal structure of the ZmDRIK1 kinase domain revealed the presence of a spine formed by the side chain of the triad Leu240, Tyr363, and Leu375 that occludes the ATP binding pocket.
• The expression profiling of the gene encoding ZmDRIK1 suggests this kinase may play a role in downregulating the expression of stress responsive genes that are not necessary under normal conditions.
• ZmDRIK1 is a novel receptor-like pseudokinase responsive to biotic and abiotic stress.
