WNKs are serine/threonine kinases that comprise a unique branch of the kinome. They are
so-named owing to the unusual placement of an essential catalytic lysine. WNKs have now …

Abstract In Arabidopsis thaliana, AUTHENTIC RESPONSE REGULATORS (ARRs) act as
downstream components of the His-to-Asp phosphorelay (two-component) signaling …

Rice bean (Vigna umbellata) is an underexploited domesticated legume crop consumed for
dietary protein in Asia, yet little is known about the genetic diversity of this species. Here, we …

In Arabidopsis thaliana, a number of clock-associated protein components have been
identified. Among them, CCA1 (CIRCADIAN CLOCK-ASSOCIATED 1)/LHY (LATE …

Rootless plants in the genus Wolffia are some of the fastest growing known plants on Earth.
Wolffia have a reduced body plan, primarily multiplying through a budding type of asexual …

Background The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade consists of three types of
reversibly phosphorylated kinases, namely, MAPK, MAPK kinase (MAPKK/MEK), and MAPK …

Signal transduction typically begins by ligand-dependent activation of a concomitant partner
that is otherwise in its resting state. However, in cases where signal activation is constitutive …

Abstract Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Kinase Kinases (MAPKKKs) are important
components of MAPK cascades, which are universal signal transduction modules and play …

The regulation of Cl-transport into and out of cells plays a critical role in the maintenance of
intracellular volume and the excitability of GABA responsive neurons. The molecular …

WNK family protein kinases are large enzymes that contain the catalytic lysine in a unique
position compared with all other protein kinases. These enzymes have been linked to a …
