Recent progress in brassinosteroid research: hormone perception and signal transduction
Original language description
Brassinosteroids (BRs) are cholestane derivatives that show structural similarity to insect, animal and human steroid hormones. Like steroids, brassinosteroids are signaling molecules in plants, which play important roles in normal growth, development and differentiation. Continued genetic screening and analysis of Arabidopsis mutants has provided new insight into brassinosteroid signaling, and today study of brassinosteroid action is the priority of many research laboratories around the world. Molecular genetic studies have led to the cloning and characterization of a BR receptor complex, BRI1/BAK1, a transmembrane receptor serine/threonine kinase pair. Brassinosteroid binding via a BR-binding protein stabilizes heterodimmer formation, activates intrinsic kinase activities and initiates a BR signaling cascade. This results in regulation of the activity of downstream elements of the signal transduction pathways. Although downstream components of BR action are largely unknown, research
