Structural and dynamic determinants for highly selective RET kinase inhibition reveal cryptic druggability

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Research, 2023
Introduction: The structural and dynamic determinants that confer highly selective RET kinase inhibition are poorly understood. Objectives: To explore the druggability landscape of the RET active site in order to uncover structural and dynamic ...

Mechanistic target of rapamycin signaling in human nervous system development and disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022
Mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a highly conserved serine/threonine kinase that regulates fundamental cellular processes including growth control, autophagy and metabolism. mTOR has key functions in nervous system development and mis-regulation

Epilepsy-linked kinase CDKL5 phosphorylates voltage-gated calcium channel Cav2.3, altering inactivation kinetics and neuronal excitability

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) are a group of rare childhood disorders characterized by severe epilepsy and cognitive deficits. Numerous DEE genes have been discovered thanks to advances in genomic diagnosis, yet putative molecular ...

Targeting mTOR to overcome resistance to hormone and CDK4/6 inhibitors in ER-positive breast cancer models

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Resistance to therapy remains a major obstacle in cancer management. Although treatment with hormone and CDK4/6 inhibitors is successful in luminal breast cancer, resistance to these treatments is frequent, highlighting the need for novel therapeutic ...

An allosteric switch between the activation loop and a c-terminal palindromic phospho-motif controls c-Src function

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Autophosphorylation controls the transition between discrete functional and conformational states in protein kinases, yet the structural and molecular determinants underlying this fundamental process remain unclear.

ERK5 Inhibition Induces Autophagy-Mediated Cancer Cell Death by Activating ER Stress

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Autophagy is a highly conserved intracellular process that preserves cellular homeostasis by mediating the lysosomal degradation of virtually any component of the cytoplasm.

Novel piperine-carboximidamide hybrids: design, synthesis, and antiproliferative activity via a multi-targeted inhibitory pathway

open access: yesJournal of Enzyme Inhibition and Medicinal Chemistry, 2023
A new series of piperine-carboximidamide hybrids VIa-k was developed as a new cytotoxic agent targeting EGFR, BRAF, and CDK2. The antiproliferative effect against four cancer cells was investigated against erlotinib.

Cellular Tolerance Induced by Chronic Opioids in the Central Nervous System

open access: yesFrontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2022
Opioids are powerful analgesics that elicit acute antinociceptive effects through their action the mu opioid receptor (MOR). However opioids are ineffective for chronic pain management, in part because continuous activation of MORs induces adaptive ...

Machine learning identifies molecular regulators and therapeutics for targeting SARS‐CoV2‐induced cytokine release

open access: yesMolecular Systems Biology, 2021
Although 15–20% of COVID‐19 patients experience hyper‐inflammation induced by massive cytokine production, cellular triggers of this process and strategies to target them remain poorly understood.

Identification of Potential Kinase Inhibitors within the PI3K/AKT Pathway of Leishmania Species

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2021
Leishmaniasis is a public health disease that requires the development of more effective treatments and the identification of novel molecular targets. Since blocking the PI3K/AKT pathway has been successfully studied as an effective anticancer strategy ...
