The NPH1 (nonphototropic hypocotyl 1) gene encodes an essential component acting very early in the signal-transduction chain for phototropism. Arabidopsis NPH1 contains a serine-threonine kinase domain and LOV1 and LOV2 repeats that share similarity (36 to 56 percent) with Halobacterium salinarium Bat, Azotobacter vinelandii NIFL, Neurospora crassa White Collar-1, Escherichia coli Aer, and the Eag family of potassium-channel proteins from Drosophila and mammals. Sequence similarity with a known (NIFL) and a suspected (Aer) flavoprotein suggests that NPH1 LOV1 and LOV2 may be flavin-binding domains that regulate kinase activity in response to blue light-induced redox changes.
NPH1(非向光性下胚轴1)基因编码一种在向光性信号转导链中起作用非常早的必需成分。拟南芥NPH1包含一个丝氨酸 - 苏氨酸激酶结构域以及与盐生盐杆菌Bat、棕色固氮菌NIFL、粗糙脉孢菌白领-1、大肠杆菌Aer以及果蝇和哺乳动物的钾通道蛋白Eag家族具有相似性(36%至56%)的LOV1和LOV2重复序列。与已知的(NIFL)和疑似的(Aer)黄素蛋白的序列相似性表明,NPH1的LOV1和LOV2可能是黄素结合结构域,可响应蓝光诱导的氧化还原变化来调节激酶活性。
