Nuclear Import Defects Drive Cell Cycle Dysregulation in Neurodegeneration
Aging Cell, EarlyView.Overview of Dysregulated Cell Cycle Mechanisms in Neuronal Cells. A nuclear import block drives cell cycle re‐entry from G0, culminating in cell cycle arrest at G1/S. This cell cycle arrest is associated with activation of CKIs from the INK locus (p15, p16, p18, p19) and Cip/Kip (p21, p27) which act on specific CDK/Cyclin complexes.

Nicotine-Induced Apoptosis in Human Renal Proximal Tubular Epithelial Cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Nicotine is, to a large extent, responsible for smoking-mediated renal dysfunction. This study investigated nicotine's effects on renal tubular epithelial cell apoptosis in vitro and it explored the mechanisms underlying its effects.Human proximal ...

Giant Hub Src and Syk Tyrosine Kinase Thermodynamic Profiles Recapitulate Evolution [PDF]
, 2016 Thermodynamic scaling theory, previously applied mainly to small proteins, here analyzes quantitative evolution of the titled functional network giant hub enzymes. The broad domain structure identified homologically is confirmed hydropathically using amino acid sequences only.

Cell Cycle Control by Xenopus p28^(Kix1) a Developmentally Regulated Inhibitor of Cyclin-dependent Kinases [PDF]
, 1996 We have isolated Xenopus p28^(Kix1), a member of the p21^(CIP1)/p27^(KIP1)/p57^(KIP2) family of cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) inhibitors. Members of this family negatively regulate cell cycle progression in mammalian cells by inhibiting the activities of

Clk/STY (cdc2-like kinase 1) and Akt regulate alternative splicing and adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The development of adipocytes from their progenitor cells requires the action of growth factors signaling to transcription factors to induce the expression of adipogenic proteins leading to the accumulation of lipid droplets, induction of glucose ...

Innovative pharmacotherapy for hepatic metabolic and chronic inflammatory diseases in China
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Abstract Liver disease constitutes a significant global health concern, particularly in China where it has distinctive characteristics. China grapples with a staggering 300 million cases, predominantly due to hepatitis B and metabolic non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease. Additionally, hepatocellular carcinoma has become a prevalent which is a lethal type

The Xenopus Chk1 Protein Kinase Mediates a Caffeine-sensitive Pathway of Checkpoint Control in Cell-free Extracts [PDF]
, 1998 We have analyzed the role of the protein kinase Chk1 in checkpoint control by using cell-free extracts from Xenopus eggs. Recombinant Xenopus Chk1 (Xchk1) phosphorylates the mitotic inducer Cdc25 in vitro on multiple sites including Ser-287.

Phosphorylation-dependent assembly and coordination of the DNA damage checkpoint apparatus by Rad4TopBP1 [PDF]
, 2013 The BRCT-domain protein Rad4(TopBP1) facilitates activation of the DNA damage checkpoint in Schizosaccharomyces pombe by physically coupling the Rad9-Rad1-Hus1 clamp, the Rad3(ATR) -Rad26(ATRIP) kinase complex, and the Crb2(53BP1) mediator.
