The regulation and role of oxidative signal-inducible 1 protein kinase in Arabidopsis thaliana

This study attempted to further characterise OXI1 protein kinase. Confocal microscopy and subcellular fractionation studies revealed a cytosolic localisation pattern for OXI1. Employment of a bioinformatics approach confirmed the induction of OXI1 gene expression in response to a range of AOS generating stimuli. However, the transcriptional increase of OXI1 in response to salinity and heat appears to be of no biological significance since the oxi1 mutant did not display altered tolerance to these two stresses in comparison to wild type.
