Selective expression of KCNS3 potassium channel α-subunit in parvalbumin-containing GABA neurons in the human prefrontal cortex [PDF]
The cognitive deficits of schizophrenia appear to be associated with altered cortical GABA neurotransmission in the subsets of inhibitory neurons that express either parvalbumin (PV) or somatostatin (SST).

DUSP26 (dual specificity phosphatase 26) [PDF]
The DUSP26 gene encodes for an atypical dual specificity phosphatase commonly referred to as Dusp26 or MPK8. Although its physiological role is poorly understood, different substrates have been reported to be dephosphorylated by Dusp26, including p53, Kif3, Erk and p38.

Critical Role of the Secondary Binding Pocket in Modulating the Enzymatic Activity of DUSP5 toward Phosphorylated ERKs [PDF]
DUSP5 is an inducible nuclear dual-specificity phosphatase that specifically interacts with and deactivates extracellular signal-regulated kinases ERK1 and ERK2, which are responsible for cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival. The phosphatase

An Unconventional Ligand for Scribble PDZ-4 Domain Mediates Its Interaction with Dusp26
PDZ domains are involved in many cellular processes and are key regulators of the cell physiology. A huge number of studies have investigated the binding specificity of PDZ domains to the carboxyl-terminal sequence of target proteins, while the molecular

New insights into the anti-inflammatory mechanisms of glucocorticoids : an emerging role for glucocorticoid-receptor-mediated transactivation [PDF]
Glucocorticoids are anti-inflammatory drugs that are widely used for the treatment of numerous (autoimmune) inflammatory diseases. They exert their actions by binding to the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), a member of the nuclear receptor family of ...

Expression of dual-specificity phosphatase 5 pseudogene 1 (DUSP5P1) in tumor cells. [PDF]
Sequencing of individual clones from a newly established cDNA library from the chemoresistant Hodgkin's lymphoma cell line L-1236 led to the isolation of a cDNA clone corresponding to a short sequence from chromosome 1.

The plot thickens: OTULIN regulation in cell death
We recently demonstrated that post-translational modifications of the OTU deubiquitinase with linear linkage specificity (OTULIN) regulate its function in cell death.
