Protein kinases are ubiquitous enzymes that are able to modulate the activities of other proteins by adding phosphate groups to their tyrosine, serine, or threonine amino acids (phosphorylation). MAPKs (Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases), which are activated by many different signals, belong to a large family of serine/threonine protein kinases that are conserved in organisms as diverse as yeast and humans. MAPKs deliver extracellular signals from activated receptors to various cellular compartments, notably the nucleus,...
