Abstract

In this issue of Molecular Cell, Liu et al. (2017) show that the cold-activated plasma membrane protein kinase CRPK1 phosphorylates 14-3-3 proteins, triggering its nuclear translocation to impair the stabilization of the transcription factor CBFs for a feedback excessive cold defense response during the freezing in Arabidopsis.

Keywords: 14-3-3; Arabidopsis; CRPK1; chilling; cold signaling transduction; freezing; kinase; phosphorylation.
