Identification of ankyrin-transmembrane-type subfamily genes in Triticeae species reveals TaANKTM2A-5 regulates powdery mildew resistance in wheat.

ABSTRACT: The ankyrin-transmembrane (ANKTM) subfamily is the most abundant subgroup of the ANK superfamily, with critical roles in pathogen defense. However, the function of ANKTM proteins in wheat immunity remains largely unexplored. Here, a total of 381 ANKTMs were identified from five Triticeae species and Arabidopsis, constituting five classes. Among them, class a only contains proteins from Triticeae species and the number of ANKTM in class a of wheat is significantly larger than expected, even after consideration of the ploidy level. Tandem duplication analysis of ANKTM indicates that Triticum urartu, Triticum dicoccoides and wheat all had experienced tandem duplication events which in wheat-produced ANKTM genes all clustered in class a.
