“…This calcium fluctuation is recorded by calcium calmodulin-dependent protein kinases (CCaMK) [15][16][17][18] , and activated CCaMK phosphorylates the CYCLOPS transcription factor [19][20][21][22] . Additional transcription factors (NSP1, NSP2, ERN1 and NIN) are then required for infection thread formation [23][24][25][26][27][28][29] involving a pectate lyase encoded by Npl, actin rearrangement by NAP1, PIR1, SCARN, ARPC1 and DREPP, an E3 ubiquitin ligase encoded by Cerberus, an atypical receptor kinase encoded by RinRK, a subunit of mediator complex encoded by Lan, and novel functions encoded by Rpg, Vapyrin and CBS [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40] . The simultaneous development of nodule organs is mediated by NSP1, NSP2, ERN1, NIN and NF-Ys transcription factors 41,42 that together with localized changes in plant hormone homeostasis (cytokinin, auxin and jasmonic acid) regulate initiation of infection thread formation and cell divisions leading to nodule organogenesis [43][44][45][46] .…”
