Inferring Compensatory Kinase Networks in Yeast using Prolog [PDF]
Signalling pathways are conserved across different species, therefore making yeast a model organism to study these via disruption of kinase activity. Yeast has 159 genes that encode protein kinases and phosphatases, and 136 of these have counterparts in humans.

BRAF activation initiates but does not maintain invasive prostate adenocarcinoma. [PDF]
Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men. Activation of MAP kinase signaling pathway has been implicated in advanced and androgen-independent prostate cancers, although formal genetic proof has been lacking.

Postsynaptic localization of PSD-95 is regulated by all three pathways downstream of TrkB signaling
BDNF and its receptor TrkB regulate synaptic plasticity. TrkB triggers three downstream signaling pathways; Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), Phospholipase Cγ (PLC γ) and Mitogen activated protein kinases/ Extracellular signal-regulated kinases (MAPK/

The Xanthomonas euvesicatoria type III effector XopAU is an active protein kinase that manipulates plant MAP kinase signaling. [PDF]
The Gram-negative bacterium Xanthomonas euvesicatoria (Xe) is the causal agent of bacterial spot disease of pepper and tomato. Xe delivers effector proteins into host cells through the type III secretion system to promote disease.

Prediction of kinase inhibitor response using activity profiling, in-vitro screening, and elastic net regression [PDF]
Many kinase inhibitors have been approved as cancer therapies. Recently, libraries of kinase inhibitors have been extensively profiled, thus providing a map of the strength of action of each compound on a large number of its targets. These profiled libraries define drug-kinase networks that can predict the effectiveness of new untested drugs and ...

Aldosterone signaling through transient receptor potential melastatin 7 cation channel (TRPM7) and its α-kinase domain [PDF]
We demonstrated a role for the Mg2 + transporter TRPM7, a bifunctional protein with channel and α-kinase domains, in aldosterone signaling. Molecular mechanisms underlying this are elusive.

Structural Mechanism for the Specific Assembly and Activation of the Extracellular Signal Regulated Kinase 5 (ERK5) Module [PDF]
Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation depends on a linear binding motif found in all MAPK kinases (MKK). In addition, the PB1 (Phox and Bem1) domain of MKK5 is required for extracellular signal regulated kinase 5 (ERK5) activation.
