  2. Kinase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinase

    Various other kinases act on small molecules such as lipids, carbohydrates, amino acids, and nucleotides, either for signaling or to prime them for metabolic pathways. Specific kinases are often named after their substrates. Protein kinases often have multiple substrates, and proteins can serve as substrates for more than one specific kinase.

  3. Protein kinase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_kinase

    Histidine kinases are found widely in prokaryotes, as well as in plants, fungi and eukaryotes. The pyruvate dehydrogenase family of kinases in animals is structurally related to histidine kinases, but instead phosphorylate serine residues, and probably do not use a phospho-histidine intermediate.

  4. Cytokinin signaling and response regulator protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytokinin_signaling_and...

    Cytokinins control the differentiation of meristem cells in plant development, particularly in shoots and roots where plants undergo growth. [4] Cytokinins act in a restricted region of the root meristem, and their signaling and regulation of genes occurs through a multi-step phosphorelay mediate by cytokinin histidine sensor kinases, histidine ...

  5. Two-component regulatory system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-component_regulatory...

    Two-component systems accomplish signal transduction through the phosphorylation of a response regulator (RR) by a histidine kinase (HK). Histidine kinases are typically homodimeric transmembrane proteins containing a histidine phosphotransfer domain and an ATP binding domain, though there are reported examples of histidine kinases in the atypical HWE and HisKA2 families that are not ...

  6. Protein kinase domain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_kinase_domain

    The protein kinase domain is a structurally conserved protein domain containing the catalytic function of protein kinases. [2] [3] [4] Protein kinases are a group of enzymes that move a phosphate group onto proteins, in a process called phosphorylation. This functions as an on/off switch for many cellular processes, including metabolism ...

  7. PEPR1 and PEPR2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PEPR1_and_PEPR2

    Using these properties, receptor kinases are very important in the immune system of a plant. [1] PEPR 1 and PEPR 2 are homologs, meaning they have similar properties and structures, yet they have distinguishing reactions when exposed to different compounds. For example, both kinases act as receptors of AtPeps. [1]

  8. Mitogen-activated protein kinase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitogen-activated_protein...

    MAP kinases are found in eukaryotes only, but they are fairly diverse and encountered in all animals, fungi and plants, and even in an array of unicellular eukaryotes. [citation needed] MAPKs belong to the CMGC (CDK/MAPK/GSK3/CLK) kinase group. The closest relatives of MAPKs are the cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). [2]

  9. Kinome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinome

    In molecular biology, biochemistry and cell signaling the kinome of an organism is the complete set of protein kinases encoded in its genome.Kinases are usually enzymes that catalyze phosphorylation reactions (of amino acids) and fall into several groups and families, e.g., those that phosphorylate the amino acids serine and threonine, those that phosphorylate tyrosine and some that can ...
