In-silico genome wide analysis of Mitogen activated protein kinase kinase kinase gene family in C. sinensis [PDF]
Mitogen activated protein kinase kinase kinase (MAPKKK) form the upstream component of MAPK cascade. It is well characterized in several plants such as Arabidopsis and rice however the knowledge about MAPKKKs in tea plant is largely unknown.

Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 7 in inflammatory, cancer, and neurological diseases [PDF]
Stress-activated mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 7 (MKK7) is a member of the dual-specificity mitogen-activated protein kinase family. In the human body, MKK7 controls essential physiological processes, including but not limited to proliferation ...

Redox-dependent dimerization of p38α mitogen-activated protein kinase with mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 3. [PDF]
The kinase p38α MAPK (p38α) plays a pivotal role in many biological processes. p38α is activated by canonical upstream kinases that phosphorylate the activation region. The purpose of our study was to determine whether such activation may depend on redox-sensing cysteines within p38α.

Is Mitogen‐Activated Protein Kinase Phosphatase 5 a Solution to the Puzzle of the Mitogen‐Activated Protein Kinase Signal in Steatohepatitis? [PDF]
While intensive investigations on MAPK signaling pathways discovered their critical functions in the development of obesity as well as steatohepatitis, the studies have also suggested their complexity. MKP5, a negative regulator of MAPK signaling, contributes to the improvement of steatohepatitis.

RelA and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinases potently enhance lentiviral vector production [PDF]
The growing demands for gene therapy have encouraged development of safe and efficient lentiviral vector (LV) preparation. While much progress has been made in this field, it remains to be explored how to boost its production from producer cells.

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.

Mitogen-activated protein kinases regulate susceptibility to ventilator-induced lung injury. [PDF]
Mechanical ventilation causes ventilator-induced lung injury in animals and humans. Mitogen-activated protein kinases have been implicated in ventilator-induced lung injury though their functional significance remains incomplete. We characterize the role

Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects in RAW264.7 macrophages of malvidin, a major red wine polyphenol. [PDF]
Red wine polyphenols can prevent cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases. Resveratrol, the most extensively studied constituent, is unlikely to solely account for these beneficial effects because of its rather low abundance and bioavailability. Malvidin

Insulin resistance enhances the mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway in ovarian granulosa cells. [PDF]
The ovary is the main regulator of female fertility. Granulosa cell dysfunction may be involved in various reproductive endocrine disorders. Here we investigated the effect of insulin resistance on the metabolism and function of ovarian granulosa cells ...
