Phosphorylation of the insulin receptor by a casein kinase I-like enzyme

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1991
A serine protein kinase that phosphorylates the beta-subunit of the insulin receptor has been partially purified 5,000-fold from HeLa cell membranes. The enzyme has been purified by ion-exchange and hydroxylapatite chromatography and sucrose gradient centrifugation; it has an apparent molecular weight of 36,000-43,000 daltons. It exhibits the following

Diaphragm‐specific effects of L‐citrulline in mdx mice highlight its potential as adjuvant of standard therapy in Duchenne muscular dystrophy

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 13, Page 3866-3884, July 2026.
Abstract Background and Purpose The absence of the protein dystrophin in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) leads to progressive muscle weakness, failing regeneration and deregulation of nitric oxide (NO) signalling. We focused on L‐citrulline, a precursor of L‐arginine, required for NO production in muscle, which is reduced in dystrophic mdx muscle ...

Drugs that act on both G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) and kinases: potentiation of effects, side effects and general aspects of drug pleiotropy

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 13, Page 3471-3483, July 2026.
Abstract Background A drug designed for a specific target often interacts with multiple targets, either unintentionally or as part of its intended mechanism of action. This has been called pharmacological pleiotropy or polypharmacology. There are key endogenous ligands such as ATP, GABA and glutamate that act on various proteins in humans. Furthermore,

A guide to the types, structures, and multifaceted functions of matrix metalloproteinases in cancer

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 13, Page 3717-3757, July 2026.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) orchestrate cancer progression and metastasis through proteolytic and non‐proteolytic actions. By remodeling the tumor microenvironment, enhancing growth factor availability, and modulating cell behavior, MMPs promote proliferation, migration or invasion, and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition. Alongside extracellular

Identification of Distinct Interacting Proteins of Giardia lamblia Centrins Using Yeast Two‐Hybrid Assays

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Giardia lamblia, a protozoan parasite that causes diarrhea in humans, contains two centrins implicated in cellular morphology and cell division. To identify proteins interacting with each G. lamblia centrin (GlCent), we performed a yeast two‐hybrid assay.

Characterization of the isoform gamma 2 ([gamma] 2) of the serinethreonine protein kinase Casein Kinase I (CKI-[gamma] 2)

, 2003
Casein Kinase I (CKI) is one of the first serine/threonine protein kinase activities to be isolated and characterized. In vertebrates, CKI represent a multigene family with seven isoforms, alpha, beta, delta, ε, gamma1-3 for which, very little is ...

From Synapses to Circuits, the Role of KIBRA and the WWC Family in Adaptive Brain Function

Journal of Neurochemistry, Volume 170, Issue 7, July 2026.
KIBRA (WWC1) has been the subject of scientific interest since its initial association with nonpathological variation in human memory performance. This review discusses subsequent work in animal models demonstrating that KIBRA supports memory function.

Reframing Wnt/β‐Catenin Signalling in Liver Fibrosis: Transcriptional State Regulation by CBP and p300

Liver International, Volume 46, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Liver fibrosis is a shared pathological phenotype of chronic liver diseases of diverse etiologies, including viral hepatitis, alcohol‐associated liver disease and metabolic dysfunction–associated steatohepatitis (MASH), as well as cholestatic liver diseases such as primary biliary cholangitis and primary sclerosing cholangitis, and may ...

Late Blight Effector Pi05910 Suppresses Plant Immunity by Promoting Destabilisation of Host Scaffold Protein RACK1

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
The core RXLR effector Pi05910 of P. infestans suppresses host immunity and growth by promoting destabilisation of its binding protein RACK1 via the 26S proteasome pathway, leading to the suppression of PTI and protein translation. ABSTRACT Late blight, caused by oomycete pathogen Phytophthora infestans, is one of the most devastating diseases of ...
