Regulation of signal duration and the statistical dynamics of kinase activation by scaffold proteins [PDF]
Scaffolding proteins that direct the assembly of multiple kinases into a spatially localized signaling complex are often essential for the maintenance of an appropriate biological response. Although scaffolds are widely believed to have dramatic effects on the dynamics of signal propagation, the mechanisms that underlie these consequences are not well ...

Rapid tyrosine phosphorylation of neuronal proteins including tau and focal adhesion kinase in response to amyloid-beta peptide exposure: Involvement of src family protein kinases [PDF]
The increased production of amyloid beta -peptide (A beta) in Alzheimer's disease is acknowledged to be a key pathogenic event. In this study, we examined the response of primary human and rat brain cortical cultures to A beta administration and found a ...

Involvement of p38 MAPK and ERK/MAPK pathways in staurosporine-induced production of macrophage inflammatory protein-2 in rat peritoneal neutrophils [PDF]
Stimulation of rat peritoneal neutrophils with staurosporine (64 nM) induced production of macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2) and phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase/MAP kinase ...

Regulation of atypical MAP kinases ERK3 and ERK4 by the phosphatase DUSP2 [PDF]
The atypical MAP kinases ERK3 and ERK4 are activated by phosphorylation of a serine residue lying within the activation loop signature sequence S-E-G. However, the regulation of ERK3 and ERK4 phosphorylation and activity is poorly understood.

A melanocyte lineage program confers resistance to MAP kinase pathway inhibition [PDF]
BRAFV600E-mutant malignant melanomas depend on RAF/MEK/ERK (MAPK) signaling for tumor cell growth1. RAF and MEK inhibitors show remarkable clinical efficacy in BRAFV600E melanoma2, 3; however, resistance to these agents remains a formidable challenge2, 4.

The genetic landscape of ganglioglioma
Ganglioglioma is the most common epilepsy-associated neoplasm that accounts for approximately 2% of all primary brain tumors. While a subset of gangliogliomas are known to harbor the activating p.V600E mutation in the BRAF oncogene, the genetic ...

Mapping of Functional Domains of the Lipid Kinase Phosphatidylinositol 4-Kinase Type III Alpha Involved in Enzymatic Activity and Hepatitis C Virus Replication [PDF]
ABSTRACT The lipid kinase phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase III alpha (PI4KIIIα) is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-resident enzyme that synthesizes phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P). PI4KIIIα is an essential host factor for hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication.
