Sequential primed kinases create a damage-responsive phosphodegron on Eco1. [PDF]
Sister-chromatid cohesion is established during S phase when Eco1 acetylates cohesin. In budding yeast, Eco1 activity falls after S phase due to Cdk1-dependent phosphorylation, which triggers ubiquitination by SCF(Cdc4).

Deconstructing GSK‐3: The Fine Regulation of Its Activity [PDF]
Glycogen synthase kinase‐3 (GSK‐3) unique position in modulating the function of a diverse series of proteins in combination with its association with a wide variety of human disorders has attracted significant attention to the protein both as a therapeutic target and as a means to understand the molecular basis of these disorders.

Novel reporter alleles of GSK-3α and GSK-3β.
Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 (GSK-3) is a key player in development, physiology and disease. Because of this, GSK-3 inhibitors are increasingly being explored for a variety of applications. In addition most analyses focus on GSK-3β and overlook the closely

Cortical Neurons Develop Insulin Resistance and Blunted Akt Signaling: A Potential Mechanism Contributing to Enhanced Ischemic Injury in Diabetes [PDF]
Patients with diabetes are at higher risk of stroke and experience increased morbidity and mortality after stroke. We hypothesized that cortical neurons develop insulin resistance, which decreases neuroprotection via circulating insulin and insulin-like ...

GSK-3-Selective Inhibitors Derived from Tyrian Purple Indirubins [PDF]
Gastropod mollusks have been used for over 2500 years to produce the "Tyrian purple" dye made famous by the Phoenicians. This dye is constituted of mixed bromine-substituted indigo and indirubin isomers. Among these, the new natural product 6-bromoindirubin and its synthetic, cell-permeable derivative, 6-bromoindirubin-3'-oxime (BIO), display ...

Development of a Synthetic 3D Platform for Compartmentalized Kidney In Vitro Disease Modeling
A fully synthetic, compartmentalized 3D kidney disease model is introduced. The kidney model combines a PEG‐based hydrogel matrix with anisotropic, enzymatically degradable rod‐shaped microgels to spatially arrange a triple co‐culture of key renal epithelial, endothelial, and fibroblast cells.

Unexpected role for the human Cx37 C1019T polymorphism in tumour cell proliferation [PDF]
Connexins are a large family of proteins that form gap junction channels allowing exchange of ions and small metabolites between neighboring cells. They have been implicated in pathological processes such as tumourigenesis in which they may act as tumour

Impaired Nuclear Export of Polyglutamine-Expanded Androgen Receptor in Spinal and Bulbar Muscular Atrophy. [PDF]
Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) is a neuromuscular disease caused by polyglutamine (polyQ) expansion in the androgen receptor (AR). Prior studies have highlighted the importance of AR nuclear localization in SBMA pathogenesis; therefore, in ...
