High impact information on AT5G58220

TTL interacts with BRI1 in a kinase-dependent manner in yeast and is phosphorylated by BRI1 in vitro [1].
We hypothesized that TTL might directly regulate certain biochemical activities near the plasma membrane to control plant growth [1].
Based on homology searches, there are four TTL members in the Arabidopsis genome with similar intron-exon structure and conserved amino acid domains [2].

Other interactions of AT5G58220

TTL displays a similar expression pattern with BRI1 and is associated with the plasma membrane [1].
