Further Characterization of Calcineurin B-Like Protein and Its Interacting Partner CBL-Interacting Protein Kinase from Pisum sativum.

ABSTRACT: The recently discovered calcium sensor calcineurin B-like proteins (CBLs), and their interacting partners CBL-interacting protein kinases (CIPKs), have emerged as a key network in response to stress and calcium signaling in plants. The studies on CBL and CIPK are so far mainly restricted to Arabidopsis and work on dissecting this pathway in higher plants is inadequate. Our recent studies revealed that calcium sensor CBL from pea gets phosphorylated by pea CIPK. Furthermore, the transcript levels of both the CBL and CIPK from pea were coordinately upregulated in response to various stresses including high salinity, cold, wounding, salicyclic acid and calcium but not to abscisic acid and dehydration. Here we report the results on the computational analysis of EF hands of PsCBL protein, which
