Eleven plant homologs of animal and yeast Ste20-like protein kinases were identified. It was shown that the nearest plant homologs of the Ste20-like protein kinases are the unknown proteins A9RVK0 from Physcomitrella patens ssp. patens and A7P2E2 from Vitis vinifera. Cladistic analysis showed a protein kinase dst1 from Dictyostelium discoideum as the closest protein to the newly found plant homologs. A predicted spatial structure of the A9RVK0 from P. patens ssp. patens catalytic domain is presented.
