TLDR
Genetic analyses have uncovered several predominant MAPK components shared by several of these processes including the Arabidopsis thaliana MAPKs MPK3, 4, and 6 and MAP2Ks MKK1, 2, 3, and 5, and future work needs to focus on identifying substrates ofMAPKs, and on understanding how specificity is achieved among MAPK signaling pathways.Abstract:
Eukaryotic mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades have evolved to transduce environmental and developmental signals into adaptive and programmed responses MAPK cascades relay and amplify signals via three types of reversibly phosphorylated kinases leading to the phosphorylation of substrate proteins, whose altered activities mediate a wide array of responses, including changes in gene expression Cascades may share kinase components, but their signaling specificity is maintained by spaciotemporal constraints and dynamic protein-protein interactions and by mechanisms that include crossinhibition, feedback control, and scaffolding Plant MAPK cascades regulate numerous processes, including stress and hormonal responses, innate immunity, and developmental programs Genetic analyses have uncovered several predominant MAPK components shared by several of these processes including the Arabidopsis thaliana MAPKs MPK3, 4, and 6 and MAP2Ks MKK1, 2, 4, and 5 Future work needs to focus on identifying substrates of MAPKs, and on understanding how specificity is achieved among MAPK signaling pathwaysread more

Hormonal Modulation of Plant Immunity
Corné M. J. Pieterse,Dieuwertje van der Does,Christos Zamioudis,Antonio Leon-Reyes,Saskia C. M. Van Wees +4 more
TL;DR: Evidence is emerging that beneficial root-inhabiting microbes also hijack the hormone-regulated immune signaling network to establish a prolonged mutualistic association, highlighting the central role of plant hormones in the regulation of plant growth and survival.

MAPK cascades in plant disease resistance signaling.
Xiangzong Meng,Shuqun Zhang +1 more
TL;DR: Recent advances in the identification of upstream receptors/sensors and downstream MAPK substrates revealed the molecular mechanisms underlying MAPK functions in plant disease resistance and emerged as battlegrounds of plant-pathogen interactions.

Clustal w: improving the sensitivity of progressive multiple sequence alignment through sequence weighting, position-specific gap penalties and weight matrix choice
TL;DR: The sensitivity of the commonly used progressive multiple sequence alignment method has been greatly improved and modifications are incorporated into a new program, CLUSTAL W, which is freely available.

WebLogo: A Sequence Logo Generator
TL;DR: WebLogo generates sequence logos, graphical representations of the patterns within a multiple sequence alignment that provide a richer and more precise description of sequence similarity than consensus sequences and can rapidly reveal significant features of the alignment otherwise difficult to perceive.

Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Pathways Mediated by ERK, JNK, and p38 Protein Kinases
Gary L. Johnson,Razvan Lapadat +1 more
TL;DR: Multicellular organisms have three well-characterized subfamilies of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) that control a vast array of physiological processes, and inhibitors of these enzymes are being explored as anticancer agents.
