The Arabidopsis genome contains 20 genes encoding mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), which drastically outnumbers genes for their negative regulators, MAP kinase phosphatases (MKPs) (five at most). This contrasts sharply with genomes of other eukaryotes where the number of MAPKs and MKPs is approximately equal. MKPs may therefore play an important role in signal integration in plants, through concerted regulation of several MAPKs. Our previous studies identified Arabidopsis MKP1 and show ...[more]
