How does a protein kinase cascade work? what does it do to the original signal?

A protein kinase is an enzyme which catalysis the phosphorylation reaction.

The phosphorylation can either activate or deactivate other proteins or receptors.

A protein kinase cascade refers to the series of events in which a chain reaction of phosphorylation takes place by which thousands of proteins are phosphorylated.

It helps in signal transduction through which signals (usually hormone) from outside the cell are amplified and transferred to the target molecule present inside the cell.

For example, tyrosine kinase cascade.

from my research i have to the conclusion that decomposers, such as fungi, bacteria and invertebrates, play a critical role in nutrient cycling and without them the earth's ecosystem may not support life as we know it. elements such as carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus exist in limited amounts on earth, although huge amounts of carbon are being released into the atmosphere from underground sources now by humans. it is still extremely important that other nutrients be retained by the process of re-use. decomposers are organisms that are able to chemically break down dead material and make these elements available for use by other organisms. without this breakdown of dead material, dead bodies would pile up. so decomposers also play a role in clean up also. without them, life might not continue as we know it and dead material would overwhelm the earth.
