Introduction 1. Introduction 1.1 Protein phosphorylation and signal transduction Posttranslational modifications such as phosphorylation, glycosylation, ubiquitination, nitrosylation, acylation, methylation, lipidation, and proteolysis affect the physiological and cellular processes that occur within organisms in many ways (Walsh et al. 2005). Among them, reversible phosphorylation is one of the most studied modifications. It is performed by protein kinases, which transfer the gamma phosphate of ATP onto different substrates, a process that in turn is reversed by phosphatases. Eukaryote protein kinases (ePKs) phosphorylate either tyrosine (TPKs, Tyrosine Protein Kinases), serine/threonine (STPKs, Ser-/Thr Protein
