Cyclic AMP activates Ras [PDF]
In addition to protein kinase A (PKA), cAMP regulates the activity of cAMP-gated channels and Rap1-specific guanine nucleotide exchange factors. We tested the hypothesis that the targets of cAMP might also include regulators of the Ras protooncogene. In rat thyroid cells, thyrotropin (TSH) stimulates proliferation through a cAMP-mediated pathway that ...

Activation of STING Based on Its Structural Features
The cGAS-cGAMP-STING pathway is an important innate immune signaling cascade responsible for the sensing of abnormal cytosolic double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), which is a hallmark of infection or cancers.

Regulation of anti-inflammatory gene expression in vascular endothelial cells by EPAC1 [PDF]
Suppressor of cytokine signalling 3 (SOCS3) is a potent inhibitor of pro-inflammatory pathways involved in atherogenesis and the development of neo-intimal hyperplasia (NIH), which contributes to the in-stent re-stenosis responsible for the failure of ...

Control of endogenous triglyceride breakdown in the mouse diaphragm.
The control of endogenous triglyceride breakdown was studied in vitro, in the incubated intact mouse diaphragm. Isoproterenol (2 microgram/ml) produced parallel increases in glycerol and free fatty acid release, and in tissue cyclic AMP levels ...

Phosphoproteins associated with cyclic nucleotide stimulation of ciliary motility in Paramecium [PDF]
Permeabilized, MgATP-reactivated cells of Paramecium (models) respond to cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP by increasing forward swimming speed. In association with the motile response, cyclic AMP and 8-bromo-cyclic GMP (8-Br-cyclic GMP) stimulated protein ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

The role and implications of mammalian cellular circadian entrainment
At their most fundamental level, mammalian circadian rhythms occur inside every individual cell. To tell the correct time, cells must align (or ‘entrain’) their circadian rhythm to the external environment. In this review, we highlight how cells entrain to the major circadian cues of light, feeding and temperature, and the implications this has for our

Activation of Ciona sperm motility: phosphorylation of dynein polypeptides and effects of a tyrosine kinase inhibitor [PDF]
A high molecular mass dynein ATPase polypeptide and a 18–20 kDa dynein light chain of Ciona sperm flagella are phosphorylated during in vivo activation of motility or in vitro activation of motility by incubation with cyclic AMP.
