Mitogen-activated protein kinase-activated protein kinase 2 deficiency reduces insulin sensitivity in high-fat diet-fed mice. [PDF]
Adipose tissue inflammation is considered an important contributor to insulin resistance. Mitogen-activated protein kinase-activated protein kinase 2 (MK2) is a major downstream target of p38 MAPK and enhances inflammatory processes.

Expressed in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, human ERK5 is a client of the Hsp90 chaperone that complements loss of the Slt2p (Mpk1p) cell integrity stress-activated protein kinase [PDF]
ERK5 is a mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase regulated in human cells by diverse mitogens and stresses but also suspected of mediating the effects of a number of oncogenes.

Chemotherapy‐Mediated Induction of PD‐L1 via SEI1 Facilitates Myeloma Immune Evasion
Chemotherapy induces DNA damage, activating cyclic guanosine monophosphate (GMP)‐adenosine monophosphate (AMP) synthase (cGAS)/stimulator of interferon genes (STING), which phosphorylates interferon regulatory factor 7 (IRF7) to drive SERTA‐containing domain 1 (SEI1) transcription.

Abstract Metformin, the first line pharmacotherapy for type 2 diabetes has demonstrated favourable effects in prostate cancer (PCa) across a range of studies evaluating PCa patient outcomes amongst metformin users. However, a lack of rigorously conducted prospective studies has stalled clinical use in this setting.

Accuracy of position determination in Ca$^{2+}$ signaling [PDF]
A living cell senses its environment and responds to external signals. In this work, we study theoretically, the precision at which cells can determine the position of a spatially localized transient extracellular signal. To this end, we focus on the case, where the stimulus is converted into the release of a small molecule that acts as a second ...

Distinct signalling pathways mediate insulin and phorbol ester- stimulated eukaryotic initiation factor 4F assembly and protein synthesis in HEK 293 cells [PDF]
Stimulation of serum-starved human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells with either the phorbol ester, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), or insulin resulted in increases in the phosphorylation of 4E-BP1 and p70 S6 kinase, eIF4F assembly, and ...
