Molecular basis of signal transduction mediated by calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs) in plants

Abstract

Abstract: An important component of the Ca²⁺ signal cascade induced by signals of plant growth and development, and biotic or abiotic stresses, is the calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs) which play a vital role in biological processes, such as regulation of the expression of downstream genes, modification of biochemical metabolisms, controlling the transportation of ions and water. In this paper, the structure characterization, distribution property, physiological and biological properties, role in signal transduction, and the biological function in plants of the CDPKs are summarized, to provide a theoretical guidance for identification of CDPKs and exploration of the signal transduction mechanisms mediated by CDPKs in forage crops.
