A cDNA encoding a chitinase-related receptor-like kinase,
designated CHRK1, was isolated from tobacco
(Nicotiana tabacum). The C-terminal kinase domain (KD)
of CHRK1 contained all of the conserved amino acids of serine/threonine
protein kinases. The putative extracellular domain was closely related
to the class V chitinase of tobacco and to microbial chitinases.
CHRK1 mRNA accumulation was strongly stimulated by
infection with fungal pathogen and tobacco mosaic virus. Amino
acid-sequence analysis revealed that the chitinase-like domain of CHRK1
lacked the essential glutamic acid residue required for
chitinase activity. The recombinant chitinase-like domain did not show
any catalytic activity for either oligomeric or polymeric chitin
substrates. The recombinant KD of CHRK1 exhibited autophosphorylation,
but the mutant KD with a mutation in the essential ATP-binding site did
not, suggesting that CHRK1 encoded a functional kinase. CHRK1 was
detected in membrane fractions of tobacco BY2 cells. Furthermore,
CHRK1-GFP fusion protein was localized in plasma membranes when it was
expressed in animal cells. This is the first report of a new type of
receptor-like kinase containing a chitinase-like sequence in the
putative extracellular domain.
