Name | homoserine kinase | Brief Description | homoserine kinase |
TAIR Computational Description | homoserine kinase;(source:Araport11) |
TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes a homoserine kinase (HSK) which produces O-phospho-L-homoserine (HserP), a compound at the branching point of methionine and threonine biosynthesis. HSK is found in the stromal fraction of chloroplasts. Mutation of this gene results in higher level of the amino acid homoserine and resistance to downy mildew pathogen Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis. |
