MAST2-like proteinkinase from grape Vitis vinifera: Cloning of catalytic domain cDNA

During the work on the project on the identification of proteinkinases that phosphorylate protein microtubules of plants, we revealed with the help of bioinformatics the genes of assumed homologues of proteinkinase MAST2 that is associated with microtubules in animal cells. Respectively, the gene of the closest homologue of MAST2, the assumed protein that we have named GMLK (Grape MAST2-Like Kinase, A7NTE9_VITVI) was identified in the genome of grape Vitis vinifera. This study presents the results of the successful cloning of protein GMLK (A7NTE9_VITVI) cDNA from the leaves of the Pinot Noir grape.
