Stimulation of the catalytic activity of the tyrosine kinase Btk by the adaptor protein Grb2
The Tec-family kinase Btk contains a lipid-binding Pleckstrin homology and Tec homology (PH-TH) module connected by a proline-rich linker to a ‘Src module’, an SH3-SH2-kinase unit also found in Src-family kinases and Abl. We showed previously that Btk is

Next Generation BTK Inhibitors in CLL: Evolving Challenges and New Opportunities
Simple Summary Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) treatment scenario is rapidly evolving. As a consequence of longer observation, despite remarkable clinical results, treatment with ibrutinib is associated with long-term toxicities and resistance.

Stretched exponential relaxation in the mode-coupling theory for the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation [PDF]
We study the mode-coupling theory for the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation in the strong-coupling regime, focusing on the long time properties. By a saddle point analysis of the mode-coupling equations, we derive exact results for the correlation function in

Differential impact of BTK active site inhibitors on the conformational state of full-length BTK
Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) is targeted in the treatment of B-cell disorders including leukemias and lymphomas. Currently approved BTK inhibitors, including Ibrutinib, a first-in-class covalent inhibitor of BTK, bind directly to the kinase active site.

The covalent Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKis) are highly effective for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The dominant resistance mechanism observed with the BTKi ibrutinib is the development of BTK Cys481 codon mutations ...

Bruton’s Tyrosine Kinase in Neutrophils Is Crucial for Host Defense against Klebsiella pneumoniae
Humans with dysfunctional Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (Btk) are highly susceptible to bacterial infections. Compelling evidence indicates that Btk is essential for B cell-mediated immunity, whereas its role in myeloid cell-mediated immunity against ...

Targeting Btk/Etk of prostate cancer cells by a novel dual inhibitor. [PDF]
Btk and Etk/BMX are Tec-family non-receptor tyrosine kinases. Btk has previously been reported to be expressed primarily in B cells and has an important role in immune responses and B-cell malignancies.

Resisting the Resistance: Navigating BTK Mutations in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)
Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) plays a key role in the B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling pathway and confers anti-apoptotic and proliferative properties to malignant B-cells in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Small molecule BTK inhibitors were designed

Targeting Bruton tyrosine kinase using non-covalent inhibitors in B cell malignancies
B cell receptor (BCR) signaling is involved in the pathogenesis of B cell malignancies. Activation of BCR signaling promotes the survival and proliferation of malignant B cells.

Identification of Bruton's tyrosine kinase as a therapeutic target in acute myeloid leukemia [PDF]
Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) is a cytoplasmic protein found in all hematopoietic cell lineages except for T cells. BTK mediates signalling downstream of a number of receptors.
