Medicago truncatula      Other/TLK


※ TLK family introduction

    TLK (Tousled-like kinase) are classified into "Other" group (1). TLKs are originally found to encode a ser/thr kinase that is essential for proper flower development in Arabidopsis thaliana. Two homologues have been found in human genome, known as TLK1 and TLK2. Two TLKs share 84% similarity with each other and almost 50% with Arabidopsis TLK. All three TKLs contain nuclear localization signals and predicted coiled-coil regions in N-terminal. The mammalian TLKs share some similar function properties with plant TLK, including a broad expression and preference to similar substrates. In addition, human TLKs play important roles in regulation of cell cycle and reach the maximal activities in S phase (2).
