High impact information on KAB1

  • Thus, KAB1 was determined to be expressed in plant organs (leaves) and cell types (guard cells) that are sites of KAT1 expression in the plant [1].
  • Although the KAB1 primary structure is substantially different from that of animal beta subunits, amino acid motifs critical for this catalytic activity are retained in the plant beta subunit [1].
  • The rice cDNA (KOB1) described in this report encodes a 36 kDa polypeptide which shares 45% sequence identity with these animal K+ channel beta subunits. and 72% identity with the only other cloned plant (Arabidopsis thaliana) K+ channel beta subunit (KAB1) [2].
 

Other interactions of KAB1

  • In this study, we provide experimental evidence that the KAB1 polypeptide forms a tight physical association with the Arabidopsis K+ channel alpha subunit, KAT1 [1].
