Classification of Protein Kinases on the Basis of Both Kinase and Non-Kinase Regions
PLoS ONE, 2010 Protein phosphorylation is a generic way to regulate signal transduction pathways in all kingdoms of life. In many organisms, it is achieved by the large family of Ser/Thr/Tyr protein kinases which are traditionally classified into groups and subfamilies on the basis of the amino acid sequence of their catalytic domains.

Jun N-Terminal Kinase 1 Mediates Transcriptional Induction of Matrix Metal loproteinase 9 Expression
Neoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2001 Tumor cell invasion and metastasis require precise coordination of adherence to extracellular matrix (ECM) and controlled degradation of its components. Invasive cells secrete proteolytic enzymes known as matrix metal lop roteinases (MMPs) which degrade ...

A Novel Bis-Coumarin Targets Multiple Tyrosine Kinases of Key Signaling Pathways in Melanoma and Inhibits Melanoma Cell Survival, Proliferation, and Migration [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Melanoma is one of the most dangerous skin malignancies due to its high metastatic tendency and high mortality. Activation of key signaling pathways enforcing melanoma progression depends on phosphorylation of tyrosine kinases, and oxidative stress. We here investigated the effect of the new bis-coumarin derivative (3,5-DCPBC) on human melanoma cell ...

Accuracy of position determination in Ca$^{2+}$ signaling [PDF]
, 2019 A living cell senses its environment and responds to external signals. In this work, we study theoretically, the precision at which cells can determine the position of a spatially localized transient extracellular signal. To this end, we focus on the case, where the stimulus is converted into the release of a small molecule that acts as a second ...

Regulation of the JNK pathway by TGF-beta activated kinase 1 in rheumatoid arthritis synoviocytes. [PDF]
, 2007 c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) contributes to metalloproteinase (MMP) gene expression and joint destruction in inflammatory arthritis. It is phosphorylated by at least two upstream kinases, the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinases (MEK) MKK4 and MKK7,

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Breast tumor samples scored for metabolic deregulation (M1 to M3) were given a hypoxia score (HS). The highest HS occurred in patients with strongest metabolic deregulation (M3), supporting tumor aggressiveness. HS correlated with the highest number of metabolic pathways in M1. This suggests hypoxia to be an early event in metabolic deregulation.

Comparing Theories for the Maintenance of Late LTP and Long-Term Memory: Computational Analysis of the Roles of Kinase Feedback Pathways and Synaptic Reactivation [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 How can memories be maintained from days to a lifetime, given turnover of proteins that underlie expression of long-term synaptic potentiation (LTP)? One likely solution relies on synaptic positive feedback loops, prominently including persistent activation of CaM kinase II (CaMKII) and self-activated synthesis of protein kinase M zeta (PKM).

A three-state kinetic mechanism for scaffold mediated signal transduction [PDF]
, 2008 Signaling events in eukaryotic cells are often guided by a scaffolding protein. Scaffold proteins assemble multiple proteins in a spatially localized signaling complex and exert numerous physical effects on signaling pathways. To study these effects, we consider a minimal, three-state kinetic model of scaffold mediated kinase activation.
