Conserved threonine residues within the A-loop of the receptor NIK differentially regulate the kinase function required for antiviral signaling.

NSP-interacting kinase (NIK1) is a receptor-like kinase identified as a virulence target of the begomovirus nuclear shuttle protein (NSP). We found that NIK1 undergoes a stepwise pattern of phosphorylation within its activation-loop domain (A-loop) with distinct roles for different threonine residue...
