High Throughput Identification of Potential Arabidopsis Mitogen-activated Protein Kinases Substrates

High throughput identification of potential Arabidopsis mitogen-activated protein kinases substrates.

Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades are universal and highly conserved signal transduction modules in eucaryotes, including plants. These protein phosphorylation cascades link extracellular stimuli to a wide range of cellular responses. However, the underlying mechanisms are so far unknown as information about phosphorylation substrates of plant MAPKs is lacking. In this study we a...

Identification of substrates and regulators of the mitogen-activated protein kinase ERK5 using chimeric protein kinases.

Extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase 5 (ERK5) is a recently discovered orphan mitogen-activated protein kinase for which no substrates or strong activators have been described. Two ERK5 chimeras were created as a novel approach to discover its substrates and upstream regulators. One chimeric protein contained the N-terminal domain of the ERK5 catalytic core (subdomains I-IV) and the C-...

"Stress-responsive" mitogen-activated protein kinases (c-Jun N-terminal kinases and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases) in the myocardium.

Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Cascades: Terminology and Properties The best-characterized subfamilies of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) superfamily are the extracellularly responsive kinases (ERKs) and the two “stress-responsive” MAPK subfamilies, namely, the c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) and the p38-MAPKs. As yet, no single nomenclature has been determined, and the synonyms c...
