Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb300010
• Gene Symbol: ZmCIPK23 cipk23
• Gene Name: calcineurin B-like-interacting protein kinase23
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• Similar to AKT1 regulation, the protein kinase ZmCIPK23 interacted with ZMK1 and phosphorylated the cytosolic region of ZMK1, activating ZMK1-mediated K+ uptake.
• ZmCIPK23 could also complement the low-K+-sensitive phenotype of Arabidopsis cipk23/lks1 mutant. These findings demonstrate that ZMK1 together with ZmCIPK23 plays important roles in K+ uptake and homeostasis in maize.
• The activation voltage of ZMK1 was below −100 mV. We noted that ZmCIPK23 alone could activate ZMK1, although the K+ currents were comparatively small.
