Abstract
An S-receptor kinase (SRK) gene associated with self-incompatibility in a Brassica napus subsp. oleifera line has been characterized. The SRK-A14 cDNA shows the highest levels of homology in the 5′ end to the SLG-A14 cDNA present at the same locus. RNA blot analysis shows that the SRK-A14 gene is expressed predominantly in the pistil, and at lower levels in the anthers. The predicted amino acid sequences from the extracellular domain of the SRK-A14 gene and three other SRK genes were compared. The different SRK extracellular domains were for the most part very similar, with the exception of two variable regions containing a high level of amino acid alterations. These extracellular domains also contain a region of similarity to the immunoglobulin domains present in members of the immunoglobulin superfamily. These findings may define regions of the SRK protein that are necessary for interactions between SRK and other proteins.Keywords
