“…The domain architecture comprises an extended N-terminal region containing two Ca 2+ -binding EF-hand motifs, six a-helical transmembrane domains (TMD-I to TMD-VI) connected by five loops (loops A-E) and a C-terminal FNR (ferredoxin-NADP + reductase) domain containing FAD (flavin adenine dinucleotide) and NADPH-binding moieties (Kaur et al 2014). Experimental evidence suggest that the N-terminal region plays a key role in the regulation of Rbohs via Ca 2+ , Rac GTPase, protein kinases (CDPK; calcium-dependent protein kinase, CcaMK; Ca 2+ /CaM-dependent protein kinase, MAPK; mitogen activated protein kinase, OST1; open stomata 1, receptor-like cytoplasmic kinase BIK1, histidine kinase), GIRAFFE heme oxygenase, extracellular ATP, phospholipase Dα1, and phosphatidic acid (Kaur et al 2014; Baxter et al 2014). The N-terminal region of RbohB from O. sativa (OsRbohB 138–313 ) comprises a homodimer, where each monomer contains two EF-hands and two EF-hand-like motifs with Ca 2+ -binding sites (Oda et al 2010).…”
