DYRKP kinase regulates cell wall degradation in Chlamydomonas by inducing matrix metalloproteinase expression

This study identifies DYRKP kinase as a regulator of cell wall degradation in Chlamydomonas by inducing MMP expression, enabling daughter cell hatching.

Comparative omics reveals unanticipated metabolic rearrangements in a high-oil mutant of plastid acetyl-CoA carboxylase

The paper investigates metabolic changes in an Arabidopsis mutant with altered ACCase activity, revealing shifts in carbon flux and protein accumulation.

Back from the dead: the atypical kinase activity of a pseudokinase regulator of cation fluxes during inducible immunity

This study identifies ILK1, a plant pseudokinase with kinase activity, and shows it interacts with multiple proteins involved in immunity and cation-dependent signaling.

The mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase, ILK5, regulates plant purinergic receptor-mediated, innate immunity

This study identifies ILK5 as a downstream substrate of P2K1 kinase that mediates MAPK cascade activation in Arabidopsis, enhancing innate immunity through phosphorylation of MPK3/6.

Integrative proteomics and phosphoproteomics reveals phosphorylation networks involved in the maintenance and expression of embryogenic competence in sugarcane callus

This study uses proteomics and phosphoproteomics to identify phosphorylation networks involved in embryogenic competence and somatic embryo differentiation in sugarcane.
