“…Instead, characterizations of protein kinases with both Ser/Thr and Tyr specificities, which are named dual-specificity protein kinases (Lindberg et al, 1992), were reported in several plants, including soybean (Feng et al, 1993), petunia (Petunia inflata; Mu et al, 1994), tobacco (Sessa et al, 1996;Cho et al, 2001), peanut (Arachis hypogaea; Rajasekharan, 2002, 2003), rice (Oryza sativa; Gu et al, 2005), tomato (Solanum lycopersicum; Mayrose et al, 2004), and Arabidopsis (Hirayama and Oka, 1992;Ali et al, 1994;Tregear et al, 1996). A recent work also documented that several functionally known Arabidopsis receptor-like kinases, including HAESA (Jinn et al, 2000), BKK1 (He et al, 2007), and BRI1 and BAK1 , appeared to be dual-specificity protein kinases (Oh et al, 2009).…”

As the last stage of leaf development, senescence is a fine-tuned process regulated by interplays of multiple signaling pathways. We have previously identified soybean (Glycine max) SENESCENCE-ASSOCIATED RECEPTOR-LIKE KINASE (SARK), a leucine-rich repeat-receptor-like protein kinase from soybean, as a positive regulator of leaf senescence. Here, we report the elucidation of the molecular mechanism of GmSARK-mediated leaf senescence, especially its specific roles in senescence-inducing hormonal pathways. A glucocorticoid-inducible transcription system was used to produce transgenic Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) plants for inducible overexpression of GmSARK, which led to early leaf senescence, chloroplast destruction, and abnormal flower morphology in Arabidopsis. Transcript analyses of the GmSARK-overexpressing seedlings revealed a multitude of changes in phytohormone synthesis and signaling, specifically the repression of cytokinin functions and the induction of auxin and ethylene pathways. Inhibition of either auxin action or ethylene biosynthesis alleviated the senescence induced by GmSARK. Consistently, mutation of either AUXIN RESISTANT1 or ETHYLENE INSENSITIVE2 completely reversed the GmSARK-induced senescence. We further identified a homolog of GmSARK with a similar expression pattern in Arabidopsis and named it AtSARK. Inducible overexpression of AtSARK caused precocious senescence and abnormal floral organ development nearly identical to the GmSARK-overexpressing plants, whereas a T-DNA insertion mutant of AtSARK showed significantly delayed senescence. A kinase assay on recombinant catalytic domains of GmSARK and AtSARK revealed that these two leucine-rich repeat-receptor-like protein kinases autophosphorylate on both serine/threonine and tyrosine residues. We inferred that the SARK-mediated pathway may be a widespread mechanism in regulating leaf senescence.

“…23 identical filters were hybridized with AK1-23 gene probes. Hybridization was carried out either with 32p-dATP-labelled single-stranded DNA probes (AK1- 5,7,9,10,[12][13][14][15][18][19][20][21][22] or with single-stranded gene probes (AK6, 8,11,16,17,23) which were labelled with DIG-dUTP (Boehringer Mannheim). The labelling reactions were carried out with Amplitaq (Perkin Elmer Cetus) as described [39] using primer 3.…”

Differential accumulation of the transcripts of 22 novel protein kinase genes in Arabidopsis thaliana

22 novel members of the Arabidopsis thaliana protein kinase family (AKs) were identified by using degenerate oligonucleotide primers directed to highly conserved amino acid sequences of the protein kinase (PK) catalytic domain. Of these 22 genes, 16 turned out to carry intron sequences. Homologies of AK sequences were detected to S-locus receptor protein kinases (SRKs) from Brassica spp., to SRK-like PKs from maize and A. thaliana and to several other receptor PKs from A. thaliana. Sequence similarity was also detected to Ca(2+)-dependent PKs (CDPKs) from rape and soybean, to SNF1 and to CDC2 homologues. The genomic organization and the accumulation of the mRNAs from these 22 AK genes were investigated.

“…Hydroxycinnamic acid amides, including coumaroyltyramine and feruloyltyramine (Figure 2), which contain tyramine moieties, inhibit tyrosinase (enzyme present in plant and animal tissues that catalyzes synthesis of melanin) (Feng et al 1993;Tregear et al 1996;Rudrabhatla et al 2006;Wu et al 2012). As a tyrosine mimic, NTCT may have both a beneficial and detrimental effect on tyrosine kinase.…”

“…As a tyrosine mimic, NTCT may have both a beneficial and detrimental effect on tyrosine kinase. Dual-specific kinases (act as both tyrosine kinase and serine/threonine kinase) have been reported in many plants, including Arabidopsis thaliana ATN1 and soybean GmPK6 (Feng et al 1993;Tregear et al 1996;Rudrabhatla et al 2006;Wu et al 2012). Therefore, it is possible that the tyramine moiety of NTCT could block phosphorylation by dual-specific kinases, ultimately suppressing weed seedling growth.…”
