Endophilin regulates JNK activation through its interaction with the germinal center kinase-like kinase [PDF]
The endophilin family of proteins function in clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Here, we have identified and cloned the rat germinal center kinase-like kinase (rGLK), a member of the GCK (germinal center kinase) family of e-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK ...

A feed-forward regulation of endothelin receptors by c-Jun in human non-pigmented ciliary epithelial cells and retinal ganglion cells. [PDF]
c-Jun, c-Jun N-terminal kinase(JNK) and endothelin B (ETB) receptor have been shown to contribute to the pathogenesis of glaucoma. Previously, we reported that an increase of c-Jun and CCAAT/enhancer binding protein β (C/EBPβ) immunohistostaining is ...

Prolactin Stimulates Activation of c-jun N-Terminal Kinase (JNK) [PDF]
In recent years the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase family has expanded to include both c-jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs), and the p38/HOG1 family in addition to the extracellular regulated kinase (ERK) family. These kinases are activated by a variety of growth factors, as well as extra- and intracellular insults such as osmotic stress, UV light ...

C-Jun N-terminal kinase 2 promotes liver injury via the mitochondrial permeability transition after hemorrhage and resuscitation [PDF]
Hemorrhagic shock leads to hepatic hypoperfusion and activation of mitogen-activated stress kinases (MAPK) like c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) 1 and 2. Our aim was to determine whether mitochondrial dysfunction leading to hepatic necrosis and apoptosis ...

Docking Interactions in the c-Jun N-terminal Kinase Pathway [PDF]
The c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway is a major mediator of stress responses in cells. Similar to other mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), JNK activity is controlled by a cascade of protein kinases and by protein phosphatases, including dual-specificity MAPK phosphatases.

Role of c-Jun N-terminal Kinase (JNK) in Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes
Obesity has been described as a global epidemic and is a low-grade chronic inflammatory disease that arises as a consequence of energy imbalance. Obesity increases the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D), by mechanisms that are not entirely clarified. Elevated

c-Jun N-Terminal Kinase Signaling Inhibitors Under Development [PDF]
Targeting protein kinases has been active area in drug discovery. The c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) have also been target for development of novel therapy in various diseases, since the roles of JNK signaling in pathological conditions were revealed in studies using jnk-deficient mice.

Reactive oxygen species regulate caspase-11 expression and activation of the non-canonical NLRP3 inflammasome during enteric pathogen infection [PDF]
Enteropathogenic and enterohemorrhagic bacterial infections in humans are a severe cause of morbidity and mortality. Although NOD-like receptors (NLRs) NOD2 and NLRP3 have important roles in the generation of protective immune responses to enteric ...
