Modulation of the Akt/Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK pathway by A3 adenosine receptor [PDF]
Downstream A3 receptor signalling plays an important role in the regulation of cell death and proliferation. Therefore, it is important to determine the molecular pathways involved through A3 receptor stimulation.

Mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase pathways: regulation and physiological functions.
Mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases comprise a family of ubiquitous proline-directed, protein-serine/threonine kinases, which participate in signal transduction pathways that control intracellular events including acute responses to hormones and ...

Mitogen activated protein kinase phosphatases and cancer [PDF]
Deregulation of cell signaling is a vital part of cancer development. The mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) family is involved in regulating both cell growth and cell death. This family of kinases is negatively regulated by mitogen activated protein kinase phosphatases (MKPs).

Inferring the Sign of Kinase-Substrate Interactions by Combining Quantitative Phosphoproteomics with a Literature-Based Mammalian Kinome Network [PDF]
Protein phosphorylation is a reversible post-translational modification commonly used by cell signaling networks to transmit information about the extracellular environment into intracellular organelles for the regulation of the activity and sorting of proteins within the cell.

Using the structural kinome to systematize kinase drug discovery [PDF]
Kinase-targeted drug design is challenging. It requires designing inhibitors that can bind to specific kinases when all kinase catalytic domains share a common folding scaffold that binds ATP. Thus, obtaining the desired selectivity, given the whole human kinome, is a fundamental task during early-stage drug discovery.

Ultrasensitivity in the mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade.
The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade is a highly conserved series of three protein kinases implicated in diverse biological processes. Here we demonstrate that the cascade arrangement has unexpected consequences for the dynamics of MAPK ...

A fluorescence-based thermal shift assay identifies inhibitors of mitogen activated protein kinase kinase 4. [PDF]
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second highest cause of cancer death in United States males. If the metastatic movement of PCa cells could be inhibited, then mortality from PCa could be greatly reduced. Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 4 (MAP2K4) has
