Reversible phosphorylation is a key mechanism that regulates many cellular processes in
prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In prokaryotes, signal transduction includes two-component …

In all living organisms, the phosphorylation of proteins modulates various aspects of their
functionalities. In eukaryotes, protein phosphorylation plays a key role in cell signaling, gene …

Protein phosphorylation by eukaryotic protein kinases (ePKs) is a fundamental mechanism
of cell signaling in all organisms. In model vertebrates,~ 10% of ePKs are classified as …

Résumé Wild salt-tolerant barley (Hordeum spontaneum) is the ancestor of cultivated barley
(Hordeum vulgare or H. vulgare). Although the cultivated barley genome is well studied, little …

Increasing evidence shows that protein phosphorylation on serine (Ser), threonine (Thr),
