Description:
Liu et al. (Reports, 23 March 2007, p. 1712) reported that the Arabidopsis thaliana gene GCR2 encodes a seven-transmembrane, G protein-coupled receptor for abscisic acid. We argue that GCR2 is not likely to be a transmembrane protein nor a G protein-coupled receptor. Instead, GCR2 is most likely a plant homolog of bacterial lanthionine synthetases.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Johnston, Christopher A -- Temple, Brenda R -- Chen, Jin-Gui -- Gao, Yajun -- Moriyama, Etsuko N -- Jones, Alan M -- Siderovski, David P -- Willard, Francis S -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2007 Nov 9;318(5852):914; author reply 914.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Pharmacology, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC 27599, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17991845" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
