Somatic embryogenesis receptor kinases (SERKs) are leucine-rich repeat (LRR)-containing integral membrane receptors that are involved in the regulation of development and immune responses in plants. It has recently been shown that rice SERK2 (OsSERK2) is essential for XA21-mediated resistance to the pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae.

Oct 10, 2016 · Here we show that SOMATIC EMBRYOGENESIS RECEPTOR KINASEs (SERKs) serve as co-receptors in CLE41/TDIF-PXY signaling to regulate plant vascular development. TDIF induces interaction of its receptor PXY with SERKs in vitro and in vivo.

Here, crystal structures of the LRR domains of OsSERK2 and a D128N OsSERK2 mutant, expressed as hagfish variable lymphocyte receptor (VLR) fusions, are reported.

Dec 5, 2024 · Here, we show that SERK1 (SOMATIC EMBRYOGENESIS RECEPTOR-LIKE KINASE1) and SERK2 LRR-RLKs act redundantly as coregulatory and physical partners of EMS1. The SERK1 / 2 genes function in the same genetic pathway as …

Apr 6, 2020 · SERKs (somatic embryogenesis receptor kinases) were first identified as markers for somatic embryogenesis initiation in carrot callus cells two decades ago. They encode leucine-rich repeat (LRR) receptor-like kinases (RLKs) with an extracellular LRR domain, a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular kinase domain.

Here, crystal structures of the LRR domains of OsSERK2 and a D128N OsSERK2 mutant, expressed as hagfish variable lymphocyte receptor (VLR) fusions, are reported.

In this study, we investigated the function of a functionally uncharacterized member of the LRR II family, SERK2, which is the closest homolog to SERK1 and related to SERK3/BAK1.

Nov 1, 2014 · Somatic embryogenesis receptor kinases (SERKs) are leucine-rich repeat (LRR)-containing integral membrane receptors that are involved in the regulation of development and immune responses in plants.

Feb 14, 2019 · In SERK, a Pro-rich domain is present between the LRR and the transmembrane domain. The LRR-RLKs are membrane receptors that sense different ligands, relaying these signals into the cytosol to regulate diverse cellular responses (Brandt and Hothorn 2016).

Sep 21, 2015 · Plants use cell-surface-resident receptor-like kinases (RLKs) to sense diverse extrinsic and intrinsic cues and elicit distinct biological responses. In Arabidopsis, ERECTA family RLKs recognize EPIDERMAL PATTERNING FACTORS (EPFs) to specify stomatal patterning.
