Expression pattern of the 10 mitogen-activated protein kinase kinases (MAPKK) encoded on Arabidopsis thaliana genome [PDF]
Phosphorylation, carried out by kinases, is a pivotal mechanism for all cell signal transduction pathways. In eukaryotic cells, Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases (MAPK) form modules with three kinases (MAPKKK, MAPKK, and MAPK) that are sequentially ...
