LKS1, encoded by LKS1 gene cloned from the low-K~+-sensitive Arabidopsis mutant lks1, is a member of the CBL-interacting protein kinase (CIPK) family. CIPKs form a plant-specific family of Ser/Thr kinases.

• LKS1基因是从lks1(Low-K~+-Sensitive 1)突变体中克隆得到的,已知LKS1隶属于CIPK(CBL-Interacting Protein Kinase)家族,为植物特异的丝氨酸/苏氨酸激酶。
