Transcriptional regulation of DC fate specification [PDF]
Dendritic cells function in the immune system to instruct adaptive immune cells to respond accordingly to different threats. While conventional dendritic cells can be subdivided into two main subtypes, termed cDC1s and cDC2s, it is clear that further ...

Immunomodulation of salivary gland function due to cancer therapy
Abstract Functional salivary glands (SG) are essential for maintaining oral health, and salivary dysfunction is a persistent major clinical challenge. Several cancer therapies also have off‐target effects leading to SG dysfunction. Recent advances highlight the role of SG immune populations in homeostasis, dysfunction and gland regeneration.

ESSENTIAL MEIOTIC ENDONUCLEASE 1 is required for chloroplast development and DNA repair in rice
Summary Chloroplast development is fundamental to photosynthesis and plant growth but is sensitive to environmental stress. Chloroplast development and division require genome stability and DNA repair, but the underlying mechanisms have been unclear. Using a forward genetic approach, we identified the striped‐leaf mutant k48 in the rice (Oryza sativa L.

Mapping the phosphoproteome of influenza A and B viruses by mass spectrometry [PDF]
Protein phosphorylation is a common post-translational modification in eukaryotic cells and has a wide range of functional effects. Here, we used mass spectrometry to search for phosphorylated residues in all the proteins of influenza A and B viruses ...

Implication of brain cdc2 and MAP2 kinases in the phosphorylation of tau protein in Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
Brain tau protein is phosphorylated in vitro by cdc2 and MAP2 kinases, obtained through immunoaffinity purification from rat brain extracts. The phosphorylation sites are located on the tau molecule both upstream and downstream of the tubulin‐binding motifs. A synthetic peptide comprising residues 194–213 of the tau sequence, which contains the epitope

Elevated cortisol concentration in preterm sheep fetuses impacts heart development
Abstract The prepartum rise in cortisol promotes cardiac development and maturation. Here, we investigated the impact of elevated circulating cortisol during mid‐late gestation on cardiac growth and metabolism in fetal sheep. Saline or cortisol (2–3 mg in 4.4 mL/24 h) was infused into the fetal jugular vein from 109 to 116 days gestation (dG, term ...

A Model of the Roles of Essential Kinases in the Induction and Expression of Late Long-Term Potentiation [PDF]
The induction of late long-term potentiation (L-LTP) involves complex interactions among second messenger cascades. To gain insights into these interactions, a mathematical model was developed for L-LTP induction in the CA1 region of the hippocampus. The differential equation-based model represents actions of protein kinase A (PKA), MAP kinase (MAPK ...

A conserved but plant-specific CDK-mediated regulation of DNA replication protein A2 in the precise control of stomatal terminal division [PDF]
The R2R3-MYB transcription factor FOUR LIPS (FLP) controls the stomatal terminal division through transcriptional repression of the cell cycle genes CYCLIN-DEPENDENT KINASE (CDK) B1s (CDKB1s), CDKA; 1, and CYCLIN A2s (CYCA2s).

Phosphorylation of numatrin and other nuclear proteins by cdc2 containing CTD kinase cdc2/p58
Numatrin is a nuclear matrix phosphoprotein whose synthesis and abundance were shown to be regulated during the cell cycle in mitogen-stimulated lymphocytes (Feuerstein, N., and Mond, J. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 11389-11397). We examined the effect of (a) CTD-kinase, which contains the cdc2 catalytic component (p34) in a complex with a p58 subunit ...

Phosphorylation of Replication Protein A: A Role for cdc2 Kinase in G1/S Regulation
Among the various phases of the cell cycle, we have concentrated on the regulation of the S phase. Our approach is to define biochemically the components of the DNA replication apparatus and then to analyze how the various components are regulated as cells enter, execute, and exit the S phase.
