Abstract: Mitogen-activated protein kinase cascades
are one of the many systems that allow plants to survive and defend
themselves against pathogens and other environmental stresses.
Numerous scientific investigations rendered insights to molecular
signaling pathways that take place in an event of a stress such
as soil salinity. Despite the known functions and locations of
proteins that play a role in these pathways, very little is known
about upstream protein partners. In this paper, we elucidate biological
functions and molecular locations of Arabidopsis thaliana
MKK1 protein through data mining predominantly from STRING and
BAR databases. Results revealed AtMEKK1 and CRLK1 as upstream
protein partners. In addition, AtMKK2 was further analyzed as
a redundant protein to AtMKK1.
