Mitogen-activated protein kinase MPS1

UniProtKB accession:  G4N374

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Mitogen-activated protein kinase; part of the MCK1-MKK2-MPS1 MAP kinase (MAPK) signal transduction cascade that is essential for cell wall integrity and plant infection, but not for plant defense responses (PubMed:9770551, PubMed:18344407, PubMed:22321443, PubMed:28799700, PubMed:28424497). Beside its role in pathogenesis, the MPS1 cascade is active in conidiation and cellular stress responses (PubMed:9770551). Targets downstream of the MPS1-MAPK pathway include transcription factors MIG1 and SWI6, as well as GSK1 and MPG1 (PubMed:18344407, PubMed:22321443, PubMed:28424497).
