The design of peptide-based substrates for the cdc2 protein kinase. [PDF]
The substrate sequence specificity of the cdc2 protein kinase from Pisaster ochraceus has been evaluated. The peptide, Ac-Ser-Pro-Gly-Arg-Arg-Arg-Arg-Lys-amide, serves as an efficient cdc2 kinase substrate with a Km of 1.50 +/- 0.04 microM and a Vmax. of

The Efficacy of Hellebrigenin Against Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Cells: The Molecular and Bioinformatic Analysis. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a unique cancer type originating from the nasopharynx. To investigate novel strategies for improving prognosis and reducing the adverse effects of current treatments, this study examined the efficacy of hellebrigenin.

Identification of Inhibitors of the Leishmania cdc2-Related Protein Kinase CRK3 [PDF]
New drugs are urgently needed for the treatment of tropical parasitic diseases such as leishmaniasis and human African trypanosomiasis (HAT). This work involved a high‐throughput screen of a focussed kinase set of ∼3400 compounds to identify potent and ...

Regulation of the vertebrate cell cycle by the cdc2 protein kinase.
A homolog of the cdc2/CDC28 protein kinase of yeast is found in all vertebrate species that have been investigated. Human cdc2 exists as a complex with a 13-kD protein that is homologous to the suc1 gene product of fission yeast.

The Cdc2 protein kinase controls Cdc10/Sct1 complex formation.
In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, the execution of Start requires the activity of the Cdc2 protein kinase and the Cdc10/Sct1 transcription complex. The loss of any of these genes leads to G1 arrest and activation of the mating pathway under

A Novel cdc2‐Related Protein Kinase Expressed in the Nervous System [PDF]
Abstract: We report the cloning and characterization of a cDNA encoding a cdc2‐related protein kinase, named PFTAIRE, that is expressed primarily in the postnatal and adult nervous system. We have demonstrated by in situ hybridization and indirect immunofluorescence that several populations of terminally differentiated neurons and some neuroglia ...

PITALRE, a nuclear CDC2-related protein kinase that phosphorylates the retinoblastoma protein in vitro. [PDF]
Members of the cell division cycle 2 (CDC2) family of kinases play a pivotal role in the regulation of the eukaryotic cell cycle. In this communication, we report the isolation of a cDNA that encodes a CDC2-related human protein kinase temporarily ...

Interaction of Neuronal Cdc2-like Protein Kinase with Microtubule-associated Protein Tau* [PDF]
Neuronal Cdc2-like protein kinase (NCLK), a ∼58-kDa heterodimer, was isolated from neuronal microtubules (Ishiguro, K., Takamatsu, M., Tomizawa, K., Omori, A., Takahashi, M., Arioka, M., Uchida, T. and Imahori, K. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 10897–10901).

The Wee1 protein kinase regulates T14 phosphorylation of fission yeast Cdc2. [PDF]
The Cdc2 protein kinase is a key regulator of the G1-S and G2-M cell cycle transitions in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. The activation of Cdc2 at the G2-M transition is triggered by dephosphorylation at a conserved tyrosine residue Y15 ...
