ARR1 and AHP interactions in the multi-step phosphorelay system.

ABSTRACT: Plants use multi-step phosphorelay (MSP) systems in response to exogenous and endogenous stimuli. Cytokinin and ethylene are among the factors that engage MSP signaling cascades but examples independent of phytohormones also exist. The MSP signaling involves four consecutive phosphorylation events at: (i) the kinase domain of the sensory histidine kinase, (ii) the receiver domain of the latter protein, (iii) the histidine-containing phosphotransfer protein, and (iv) the response regulator. In Arabidopsis thaliana, there are eight canonical histidine kinases, five histidine-containing phosphotransfer proteins (AHPs), one pseudo AHP, and 23 response regulators (ARRs). This redundancy suggests complex interactions between signaling pathways, including those involved in phytohormone cro
