We generated a mutation in the gene encoding mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 1 (Map3k1) that results in a protein with an inactive plant homeodomain (PHD). Map3k1(mPHD) cells are defective in cytokine-mediated MAPK signaling. Protein array identified transforming growth factor (TGF-β)-activated kinase 1 binding protein 1 (Tab1) as a PHD substrate. The Map3k1 PHD transfers Lys63-l...

The major challenges which plants have to withstand is osmotic stress (caused by drought, high and low temperature and high salinity), and wounding (caused by mechanical damage, f. ex. wind or herbivorous). Plant cells respond to these abiotic stresses by a multi-component defense strategy. Several families of protein kinases are involved in plant stress signaling. Among them are members of mit...

Functional analogies appear to exist between gap junctions, the structures involved in maintaining conductivity between contacting animal cells, and plant plasmodesmata (see papers collected in Robards et al., 1990, for state-of-the-art discussion). These include similar behavior with regard to tracer dyes, similar electrical properties, and similar mode of down regulation by effectors of prote...

Ginsenoside F1 is a biologically active compound identified potential from Korean Panax ginseng Meyer. In the present study, the potential targets of ginsenoside F1 were investigated by computational target fishing approaches including ADMET prediction, biological activity prediction from chemical structure, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics methods. Results were suggested to express th...

To study the autophagy and mechanism of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target rapamycin signaling pathway in directional differentiation mesenchymal stem cells to provide basic research results for its application medical field is main objective study. The lung bone marrow mice were used as experimental materials. materials divided into five groups according settings n...

The EDR1 gene of Arabidopsis has previously been reported to encode a Raf-like mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MAPKK) kinase, and to function as a negative regulator of disease resistance. A phylogenetic analysis of plant and animal protein kinases revealed, however, that plant Raf-like kinases are more closely related to animal mixed lineage kinases (MLKs) than Raf-like kinases, and a...

We have isolated cDNA clones of Spinacea oleracea L. and Oenothera hookeri of 930 and 1017 base pairs, respectively. The open reading frame deduced from the Oenothera sequence codes for a protein of a calculated molecular mass of 29,200. The primary amino acid sequence exhibits a very high degree (88%) of homology to the 14-3-3 protein from bovine brain, and protein kinase C inhibitor from shee...
