Structural insights into characterizing binding sites in EGFR kinase mutants [PDF]
Over the last two decades epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) kinase has become an important target to treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Currently, three generations of EGFR kinase-targeted small molecule drugs have been FDA approved. They nominally produce a response at the start of treatment and lead to a substantial survival benefit for ...

Cyclin-dependent kinases: a family portrait [PDF]
To the Editor, Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are protein kinases involved in critical cellular processes, such as cell cycle or transcription, whose activity requires association with specific cyclin subunits. Based on sequence similarity, the human genome contains 21 genes encoding CDKs and five additional genes encoding a more distant group of ...

Palbociclib-mediated cell cycle arrest can occur in the absence of the CDK inhibitors p21 and p27
The use of CDK4/6 inhibitors in the treatment of a wide range of cancers is an area of ongoing investigation. Despite their increasing clinical use, there is limited understanding of the determinants of sensitivity and resistance to these drugs.

Inferring the Sign of Kinase-Substrate Interactions by Combining Quantitative Phosphoproteomics with a Literature-Based Mammalian Kinome Network [PDF]
Protein phosphorylation is a reversible post-translational modification commonly used by cell signaling networks to transmit information about the extracellular environment into intracellular organelles for the regulation of the activity and sorting of proteins within the cell.

Advance in Reversible Covalent Kinase Inhibitors [PDF]
Reversible covalent kinase inhibitors (RCKIs) are a class of novel kinase inhibitors attracting increasing attention because they simultaneously show the selectivity of covalent kinase inhibitors, yet avoid permanent protein-modification-induced adverse effects.

Targeting Cyclin-Dependent Kinases for Treatment of Gynecologic Cancers
Ovarian, uterine/endometrial, and cervical cancers are major gynecologic malignancies estimated to cause nearly 30,000 deaths in 2018 in US. Defective cell cycle regulation is the hallmark of cancers underpinning the development and progression of the ...

Using the structural kinome to systematize kinase drug discovery [PDF]
Kinase-targeted drug design is challenging. It requires designing inhibitors that can bind to specific kinases when all kinase catalytic domains share a common folding scaffold that binds ATP. Thus, obtaining the desired selectivity, given the whole human kinome, is a fundamental task during early-stage drug discovery.

A knowledge graph representation learning approach to predict novel kinase-substrate interactions [PDF]
The human proteome contains a vast network of interacting kinases and substrates. Even though some kinases have proven to be immensely useful as therapeutic targets, a majority are still understudied. In this work, we present a novel knowledge graph representation learning approach to predict novel interaction partners for understudied kinases.
