Diacylglycerol kinase ζ controls diacylglycerol metabolism at the immunological synapse
Diacylglycerol (DAG) generation at the T cell immunological synapse (IS) determines the correct activation of antigen-specific immune responses. DAG kinases (DGKs) α and ζ act as negative regulators of DAG-mediated signals by catalyzing DAG conversion to phosphatidic acid (PA). Nonetheless, the specific input of each enzyme and their spatial regulation

Abstract Obesity and heart failure (HF) represent two growing pandemics. In the general population, obesity affects one in eight adults and is linked with an increased risk for HF. Obesity is even more common in patients with HF, where it complicates the diagnosis of HF and is linked with worse symptoms and impaired exercise capacity. Over the past few

Diacylglycerol kinase alpha regulates post-hepatectomy liver regeneration
Diacylglycerol kinases (DGKs) phosphorylate diacylglycerol to generate phosphatidic acid, which plays important roles in intracellular signal transduction. DGKα is reportedly associated with progression of tumors, including hepatocellular carcinomas, but

Role of protein kinase C in inhibition of renin release caused by vasoconstrictors [PDF]
It was the aim of the present study to get insight into some of the intracellular mechanisms by which the vasoconstrictor hormones angiotensin II (ANG II), arginine vasopressin (AVP), and norepinephrine (NE) inhibit renin release from renal ...

The Ligand Binding Landscape of Diacylglycerol Kinases [PDF]
Diacylglycerol kinases (DGKs) are integral components of signal transduction cascades that regulate cell biology through ATP-dependent phosphorylation of the lipid messenger diacylglycerol. Methods for direct evaluation of DGK activity in native biological systems are lacking and needed to study isoform-specific functions of these multidomain lipid ...

Protein kinase D enzymes are dispensable for proliferation, survival and antigen receptor-regulated NFκB activity in vertebrate B-cells [PDF]
To investigate the importance of protein kinase D (PKD) enzymes we generated a PKD-null DT40 B-lymphocyte cell line. Previously we have shown that PKDs have an essential role in regulating class II histone deacetylases in DT40 B-cells [Matthews, S.A ...

Background: Major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC I) trafficking is crucial for antigen presentation. Results: Diacylglycerol kinase α (DGKα) depletion interferes with tubular recycling endosome (TRE) biogenesis and delays MHC I recycling to the ...

ABSTRACT Pyriproxyfen (PPX) is an analog of the juvenile hormone from insects. Following our previous studies, for the ex vivo short‐term effect, we chose 10−9 M pyriproxyfen to analyze the morphology of spermatogenesis wave cells. In silico docking and ADMET (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion, Toxicity) studies were carried out to ...
