Functional studies of serine/threonine protein kinase signalling in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. [PDF]
Fork-head associated (FHA) domains function in the assembly of signalling complexes through specific interactions with phospho-threonine motifs. FHA domains are found in eukaryotes, and intriguingly in a subset of bacterial species including Mycobacteria

Deep evolutionary conservation of an intramolecular protein kinase activation mechanism [PDF]
DYRK-family kinases employ an intramolecular mechanism to autophosphorylate a critical tyrosine residue in the activation loop. Once phosphorylated, DYRKs lose tyrosine kinase activity and function as serine/threonine kinases.

Fibrolamellar carcinoma (FLC) is a rare liver cancer. FLCs uniquely produce DNAJ-PKAc, a chimeric enzyme consisting of a chaperonin-binding domain fused to the Cα subunit of protein kinase A.

Phosphorylation of mitotic kinesin-like protein 2 by polo-like kinase 1 is required for cytokinesis [PDF]
We have investigated the function of mitotic kinesin-like protein (MKlp) 2, a kinesin localized to the central spindle, and demonstrate that its depletion results in a failure of cleavage furrow ingression and cytokinesis, and disrupts localization of ...

Intrinsic disorder within an AKAP-protein kinase A complex guides local substrate phosphorylation
Anchoring proteins sequester kinases with their substrates to locally disseminate intracellular signals and avert indiscriminate transmission of these responses throughout the cell.

Regulation of CaMKII signaling in cardiovascular disease
Heart failure (HF) is a major cause of death in the developed countries. (Murray and Lopez, 1996;Koitabashi and Kass, 2012). Adverse cardiac remodeling that precedes heart muscle dysfunction is characterized by a myriad of molecular changes affecting the

Combinatorial strategy using protein kinase inhibitors and a cytotoxic compound for highly resistant glioblastoma cells : "in vitro studies" [PDF]
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most frequent and the most aggesssive malignant neoplasm of the human central nervous system (CNS), with a median survival of less than one year. These neoplasms are radio- and chemo-resistant, and are highly invasive,

Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis: Analysis and Identification of Protein Kinase Substrates [PDF]
This research study examines the synthesis of tyrosine containing peptides based on the protein paxillin. Paxillin is a proposed substrate of the Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK) protein tyrosine kinase.

Involvement of Plasmodium falciparum protein kinase CK2 in the chromatin assembly pathway [PDF]
Background Protein kinase CK2 is a pleiotropic serine/threonine protein kinase with hundreds of reported substrates, and plays an important role in a number of cellular processes.

Molecular basis of AKAP79 regulation by calmodulin
The A-kinase anchoring protein AKAP79 is regulated by calmodulin (CaM). Here, the authors use crosslinking coupled to mass spectrometry to identify the CaM-binding site in AKAP79 and present the structure of CaM bound to an AKAP79 peptide.
