Cross-phosphorylation of bacterial serine/threonine and tyrosine protein kinases on key regulatory residues

Bacteria possess protein serine/threonine and tyrosine kinases which resemble eukaryal kinases in their capacity to phosphorylate multiple substrates. We hypothesized that the analogy might extend further, and bacterial kinases may also undergo mutual phosphorylation and activation, which is current...
