Eukaryotic protein kinases are major regulatory components in all cellular functions. By adding phosphate groups to substrate proteins, they direct the activity, localization, association with other proteins, and overall function of many proteins and serve to orchestrate the activity of almost all cellular processes. Compare to other eukaryotes, flowering plants have more genes encoding protein kinases in their genomes. In the model plant Arabidopsis, more than 1000 protein kinases and 20,000 phosphosites have been identified (unpublished data), suggested the critical functions of protein kinase and their substrates in plants. Despite the importance of phosphorylation-dependent signaling to cellular physiology, a comprehensive understanding of the phosphorylation networks and pathways governing cell signaling in plant is still lacking. We will use cutting-edge phosphoproteomics to identify the substrate of the important protein kinases in abiotic stress responses and build up the protein kinase-substrate networks in plants. By biochemical, genetic, and physiological approaches, we aim to identify novel components in abiotic stress signaling pathways and to improve stress tolerance in agriculture crops using the novel biological discoveries.
