Mechanisms Regulating the Association of Protein Phosphatase 1 with Spinophilin and Neurabin [PDF]
Protein phosphorylation is a key mediator of signal transduction, allowing for dynamic regulation of substrate activity. Whereas protein kinases obtain substrate specificity by targeting specific amino acid sequences, serine/threonine phosphatase ...

Forebrain-specific deletion of Cdk5 in pyramidal neurons results in mania-like behavior and cognitive impairment [PDF]
Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) is associated with synaptic plasticity and cognitive function. Previous reports have demonstrated that Cdk5 is necessary for memory formation, although others have reported Cdk5 conditional knockout mouse models ...

Gene expression profiles of skin from cyclin dependent kinases 5-knockdown mice [PDF]
Objective This study aimed to identify genes regulated by cyclin dependent kinases 5 (CDK5) that participate in hair pigmentation in mice. Methods The mRNA expression profiles of skin samples from CDK5-knockdown mice were constructed using high ...

Intranasal rapamycin ameliorates Alzheimer-like cognitive decline in a mouse model of Down syndrome [PDF]
Background: Down syndrome (DS) individuals, by the age of 40s, are at increased risk to develop Alzheimer-like dementia, with deposition in brain of senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles.

CDK5: Key Regulator of Apoptosis and Cell Survival
The atypical cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) is considered as a neuron-specific kinase that plays important roles in many cellular functions including cell motility and survival. The activation of CDK5 is dependent on interaction with its activator p35,

Inhibiting cyclin-dependent kinase 5 in the nucleus accumbens enhances the expression of amphetamine-induced locomotor conditioning [PDF]
When psychostimulant drugs like amphetamine are administered repeatedly in the presence of a contextual stimulus complex, long-lasting associations form between the unconditioned effects of the drug and the contextual stimuli.

Dual Targeting of Tau Kinases and Autophagy by Abemaciclib Independent of CDK4/6 Inhibition
Abemaciclib rescues cognitive function and attenuates tau pathology in Alzheimer's disease models, but not through its known cancer‐fighting mechanism. This study demonstrates that abemaciclib operates independently of CDK4/6 inhibition, instead directly targeting tau kinases CaMKII and GSK3β while simultaneously promoting autophagic clearance of ...

Neurogenesis takes place in the mammalian hippocampus throughout the whole life and deficient adult hippocampal neurogenesis has been related to neurological conditions like Alzheimer disease (AD), Parkinson disease (PD) and epilepsy. The molecular mechanisms by which immature neurons and their extending neurites find their appropriate position and ...

TFP5/TP5 peptide provides neuroprotection in the MPTP model of Parkinson′s disease
Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) is a member of the serine-threonine kinase family of cyclin-dependent kinases. Cdk5 is critical to normal mammalian nervous system development and plays important regulatory roles in multiple cellular functions.
