Mitogen‐activated protein kinases (MAPKs) regulate various cellular processes, including proliferation, differentiation, and motility. Alterations in these signalling pathways can lead to various diseases, including cancer. The atypical MAPKs ERK3 (MAPK6), ERK4 (MAPK4), ERK7/8 (MAPK15) and NLK have long been neglected in kinomic studies.

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Tobacco and betel quid are two major causes of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Tumor biomarkers offer potential headway for improved diagnosis of OSCC caused by tobacco and betel quid. Currently, several empirical investigations have explored the use of diverse types of tumor biomarkers in the diagnosis of tobacco‐ and

Characterization of the disease-causing mechanism of KIF3B mutations from ciliopathy patients
The heterodimeric kinesin-2 motor (KIF3A/KIF3B with accessory protein KAP3) drives intraflagellar transport, essential for ciliogenesis and ciliary function. Three point mutations in the KIF3B subunit have recently been linked to disease in humans (E250Q

Lack of a Retinal Phenotype in a Syne-2/Nesprin-2 Knockout Mouse Model
Syne-2 (also known as Nesprin-2) is a member of a family of proteins that are found primarily in the outer nuclear membrane, as well as other subcellular compartments.

Screen-based identification and validation of four new ion channels as regulators of renal ciliogenesis [PDF]
©2015. To investigate the contribution of ion channels to ciliogenesis, we carried out a small interfering RNA (siRNA)-based reverse genetics screen of all ion channels in the mouse genome in murine inner medullary collecting duct kidney cells.

Methods to Assess Neuronal Primary Cilia Electrochemical Signaling
Hippocampal neuron primary cilia are illuminated with a fluorescent biosensor. ABSTRACT Primary cilia are polymodal sensory organelles which project from the apical side of polarized cells. They are found in all brain hemispheres but are most pronounced in neurons, which comprise the granular layers of the hippocampus and cerebellum.

Primary cilia and actin regulatory pathways in renal ciliopathies
Ciliopathies are a group of rare genetic disorders caused by defects to the structure or function of the primary cilium. They often affect multiple organs, leading to brain malformations, congenital heart defects, and anomalies of the retina or skeletal ...

Non-Overlapping Distributions and Functions of the VDAC Family in Ciliogenesis
Centrosomes are major microtubule-organizing centers of animal cells that consist of two centrioles. In mitotic cells, centrosomes are duplicated to serve as the poles of the mitotic spindle, while in quiescent cells, centrosomes move to the apical ...

Wdpcp, a PCP Protein Required for Ciliogenesis, Regulates Directional Cell Migration and Cell Polarity by Direct Modulation of the Actin Cytoskeleton [PDF]
Planar cell polarity (PCP) regulates cell alignment required for collective cell movement during embryonic development. This requires PCP/PCP effector proteins, some of which also play essential roles in ciliogenesis, highlighting the long-standing ...
