Gene Description

BAK1/SERK3 is an Arabidopsis plasma-membrane leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinase that acts mainly as a co-receptor kinase. It forms ligand-induced receptor complexes with brassinosteroid receptor BRI1 and multiple pattern-recognition receptors such as FLS2/EFR/CERK-related immune complexes, then contributes kinase activity and scaffold/co-receptor functions needed for brassinosteroid signaling, pattern-triggered immunity, receptor complex phosphorylation, endocytosis, and signaling attenuation. BAK1 also participates in cell-death regulation, but broad pathogen-defense phenotypes are downstream outputs of its receptor-complex role rather than separate core functions.

Summary: BAK1/SERK3 functions as a co-receptor kinase in FLS2/EFR/CERK-family pattern-recognition receptor complexes.
Reason: PMID:17626179 shows that loss of SERK3/BAK1 reduces early flg22-dependent responses and that BAK1 rapidly enters a ligand-dependent complex with FLS2, directly supporting IMP curation to the PAMP receptor signaling pathway.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: BAK1 participates in protein-containing receptor complexes with BRI1, FLS2/EFR/CERK-related receptors, and regulatory partners.
Reason: The generic complex term is directionally correct but less informative than specific receptor kinase/co-receptor complex annotations.

Core Functions

Plasma-membrane LRR receptor-like Ser/Thr co-receptor kinase activity in brassinosteroid and pattern-recognition receptor complexes. BAK1/SERK3 binds ligand-activated receptors, contributes receptor-complex phosphorylation, and enables downstream growth and immune signaling.

Supporting Evidence:
  • file:ARATH/BAK1/BAK1-deep-research-falcon.md
    Falcon report summarizes BAK1/SERK3 as an LRR receptor-like kinase co-receptor for brassinosteroid and immune receptor complexes.
  • file:interpro/panther/PTHR47988/PTHR47988-metadata.yaml
    PTHR47988 is a plant LRR receptor-like serine/threonine-protein kinase family.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Which BAK1 protein-binding annotations should be replaced by more specific GO terms for receptor kinase/co-receptor complex assembly?

Q: Which immune and brassinosteroid receptor complexes require BAK1 catalytic activity versus scaffold/co-receptor binding only?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Compare ligand-induced phosphoproteomes in native BAK1, kinase-dead BAK1, and receptor-specific mutant backgrounds after brassinolide and flg22 treatments.

Hypothesis: BAK1 catalytic activity produces receptor-complex-specific phosphorylation signatures in brassinosteroid and PAMP signaling.

Type: phosphoproteomics

Experiment: Use endogenous tagged BAK1 affinity purification under ligand-specific treatments followed by quantitative MS and targeted validation of receptor/RLCK partners.

Hypothesis: Different BAK1 receptor-complex partners explain the diverse generic protein-binding annotations.

Type: interaction specificity
