Cyclic GMP-Dependent Protein Kinases and the Cardiovascular System [PDF]
Signaling cascades initiated by nitric oxide (NO) and natriuretic peptides (NPs) play an important role in the maintenance of cardiovascular homeostasis. It is currently accepted that many effects of these endogenous signaling molecules are mediated via stimulation of guanylyl cyclases and intracellular production of the second messenger cGMP.

Experimental approaches to understanding the role of protein phosphorylation in the regulation of neuronal function [PDF]
Studies by Earl Sutherland and his colleagues on hormonal regulation of the breakdown of glycogen in liver resulted in the discovery that the first step in the action of many hormones is to increase the synthesis of cAMP by activating adenylate cyclase ...

Cyclic nucleotide-gated channels: structural basis of ligand efficacy and allosteric modulation [PDF]
Most working proteins, including metabolic enzymes, transcription regulators, and membrane receptors, transporters, and ion channels, share the property of allosteric coupling. The term 'allosteric' means that these proteins mediate indirect interactions

Cyclic di-GMP: second messenger extraordinaire [PDF]
Cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs) are highly versatile signalling molecules that control various important biological processes in bacteria. The best-studied example is cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP).

Selective inhibition of intestinal guanosine 3,5-cyclic monophosphate signaling by small-molecule protein kinase inhibitors [PDF]
The guanosine 3,5-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP)-dependent protein kinase II (cGKII) serine/threonine kinase relays signaling through guanylyl cyclase C (GCC) to control intestinal fluid homeostasis.

Cyclic nucleotide signalling in malaria parasites. [PDF]
The cyclic nucleotides 3', 5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and 3', 5'-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) are intracellular messengers found in most animal cell types.

Phosphorylation of hormone-sensitive lipase by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. [PDF]
In intact rat adipocytes hormone‐sensitive lipase has been shown to be phosphorylated on serine residues in two different phosphorylation sites: a regulatory site phosphorylated by cyclic AMP‐dependent protein kinase and a basal site, which does not directly affect the enzyme activity, phosphorylated by cyclic AMP‐independent protein kinase(s) [(1984 ...

Cyclic GMP in the pig vitreous and retina after experimental retinal detachment [PDF]
Purpose: Earlier studies have revealed a decreased level of cGMP in vitreous fluid obtained from patients with a retinal detachment. To further investigate this phenomenon, we developed an experimental retinal detachment model in pigs.
