PI5P4K inhibitors: promising opportunities and challenges
Developing inhibitors is like climbing a steep, challenging mountain. PI5P4K inhibitors hold significant promise for the treatment of cancer, immune disorders, and neurological diseases. However, the path to success is fraught with hurdles, and researchers are therefore required to apply their expertise to overcome critical “checkpoints.” While some ...

A signal transduction blind spot: the function of adenylyl cyclase transmembrane domains
Transmembrane adenylyl cyclases (tmACs) are essential for synthesising the universal second messenger cyclic AMP. All tmACs share a common topology that includes a large 12‐helix transmembrane (TM) domain. This domain accounts for ~ 35% of the coding sequence but its function is still an open question.

In healthy neurons, Protein kinase A (PKA) forms a tetrameric holoenzyme enabling precise allosteric regulation. We characterized a novel neurodegenerative disease, neuronal loss, and parkinsonism driven by PRKAR1B mutation (NLPD‐PKA), demonstrating disrupted holoenzyme assembly, reduced cooperativity, and increased catalytic subunit nuclear ...

Cystathionine β‐synthase (CBS) is an essential enzyme involved in cysteine metabolism. The mutation R336C, associated with severe homocystinuria and of high incidence in Qatar, reduces its activity. Our research shows that this mutation does not destabilize the enzyme fold but subtly alters the tautomeric equilibrium of the PLP cofactor within the ...

Geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase (GGPPS) plays a key role in multiple myeloma biology. Using crystallography, mass spectrometry, and fluorescence spectroscopy, this study shows that a somatic multiple myeloma cell line mutation destabilizes inter‐dimer interactions, resulting in increased GGPPS activity by facilitating product releas.

PI3Kγ in Tumour Inflammation: Bridging Immune Response and Cancer Progression—A Mini‐Review
Myeloid cell PI3Kγ can be activated by G Protein‐Coupled Receptors or Receptor Tyrosine Kinases. Once activated, PI3Kγ promotes integrin activation as well as Akt and mTOR activation, thereby promoting transcription of immune‐suppressive and pro‐angiogenic factors, such as Arginase, IL‐10, TGFβ and VEGF‐A.
