The Rho-Gef Akap-Brx Is A Co-Activator Of Progesterone Receptor B In Uterine Leiomyoma Cells [PDF]
Background--Uterine leiomyomas, or fibroids, are prevalent tumors that are dependent on sex steroids for growth. Clinically, progesterone promotes fibroid growth and anti-progestins cause a durable reduction in fibroid size, yet the mechanisms underlying

Targeting protein-protein interactions in complexes organized by A kinase anchoring proteins
Cyclic AMP is a ubiquitous intracellular second messenger involved in the regulation of a wide variety of cellular processes, a majority of which act through the cAMP - protein kinase A (PKA) signalling pathway and involve PKA phosphorylation of specific

The Stapled AKAP Disruptor Peptide STAD-2 Displays Antimalarial Activity through a PKA-Independent Mechanism. [PDF]
Drug resistance poses a significant threat to ongoing malaria control efforts. Coupled with lack of a malaria vaccine, there is an urgent need for the development of new antimalarials with novel mechanisms of action and low susceptibility to parasite ...

Deciphering mRNA Translation During Sperm Capacitation: A New Frontier in Fertility Research
ABSTRACT Male infertility accounts for approximately 50% of infertility cases, with nearly 30% remaining unexplained after standard evaluations. This highlights the need for a better understanding of sperm function to advance diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Sperm were long considered translationally quiescent; however, emerging evidence suggests

Networking with AKAPs: Context-dependent Regulation of Anchored Enzymes [PDF]
A-Kinase Anchoring Proteins (AKAPs) orchestrate and synchronize cellular events by tethering the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) and other signaling enzymes to organelles and membranes. The control of kinases and phosphatases that are held in proximity to activators, effectors, and substrates favors the rapid dissemination of information from one ...

Targeted disruption of PKC from AKAP signaling complexes
We report the development of AKAP derived, conformationally constrained peptides designed to probe AKAP-localized PKC. The lead peptides, CSTAD5 and CSTAD6 permeate cells, bind PKC, disrupt its scaffolding by AKAPs to inhibit its scaffolded activity.

Decreased AKAP4/PKA signaling pathway in high DFI sperm affects sperm capacitation
The sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) is a metric used to assess DNA fragmentation within sperm. During in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET), high sperm DFI can lead to a low fertilization rate, poor embryo development, early miscarriage ...

A Novel A‐Kinase‐Anchoring Protein 9 Variant in Premature Coronary Artery Disease: A Case Series
AKAP9 Q2136E mutation disrupts AKAP9–PRKAR2A interaction and may contribute to early‐onset CAD. ABSTRACT Background Familial premature coronary artery disease (CAD) is often associated with genetic variants. This study investigated potential causal variants in a Chinese pedigree with premature CAD. Methods In total, nine family members were included in
