Unveiling the Secrets of Calcium-Dependent Proteins in Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria: An Abundance of Discoveries Awaits.

ABSTRACT: The role of Calcium ions (Ca²⁺) is extensively documented and comprehensively understood in eukaryotic organisms. Nevertheless, emerging insights, primarily derived from studies on human pathogenic bacteria, suggest that this ion also plays a pivotal role in prokaryotes. In this review, our primary focus will be on unraveling the intricate Ca²⁺ toolkit within prokaryotic organisms, with particular emphasis on its implications for plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). We undertook an in silico exploration to pinpoint and identify some of the proteins described in the existing literature, including prokaryotic Ca²⁺ channels, pumps, and exchangers that are responsible for regulating intracellular Calcium concentration ([Ca²⁺]_i), al
