L-serine synthesis via the phosphorylated pathway in humans. [PDF]
L-serine is a nonessential amino acid in eukaryotic cells, used for protein synthesis and in producing phosphoglycerides, glycerides, sphingolipids, phosphatidylserine, and methylenetetrahydrofolate. Moreover, L-serine is the precursor of two relevant coagonists of NMDA receptors: glycine (through the enzyme serine hydroxymethyltransferase), which ...

Extensive phosphorylation of Smoothened in Hedgehog pathway activation [PDF]
The transmembrane protein Smoothened (Smo) is activated in response to the extracellular protein signal, Hedgehog (Hh), and transmits this state of pathway activity into the cell. Previous studies in Drosophila have correlated pathway activation with Smo accumulation and increased ...

Regulation of Phosphorylation Pathways by p21 GTPases [PDF]
The oncogenic Ras p21 GTPases regulate phosphorylation pathways that underlie a wealth of activities, including growth and differentiation, in organisms ranging from yeast to human. In metazoa, growth factors trigger conversion of Ras from an inactive GDP‐bound form to an active GTP‐bound form. This activation of Ras leads to activation of Raf.

The interplay of double phosphorylation and scaffolding in MAPK pathways [PDF]
The MAPK cascades are principal kinase transduction pathways in eukaryotic cells. This family includes RAF/ERK, JNK, and p38 pathways. In the MAPK cascade, the signal is transmitted through three layers of sequentially activated kinases, MAP3K, MAP2K, and MAPK. The latter two kinases require dual phosphorylation for activation. The dual phosphorylation

Phosphorylation-dependent and -independent pathways of platelet aggregation [PDF]
We have used the non-specific inhibitor of protein kinases, staurosporine, to investigate the role of protein phosphorylation during aggregation, the mobilization of intracellular Ca2+ (Ca2+)i and intracellular pH (pHi) in thrombin-stimulated platelets.

Tyrosine Phosphorylation-Mediated Signaling Pathways in Dictyostelium [PDF]
While studies on metazoan cell proliferation, cell differentiation, and cytokine signaling laid the foundation of the current paradigms of tyrosine kinase signaling, similar studies using lower eukaryotes have provided invaluable insight for the understanding of mammalian pathways, such as Wnt and STAT pathways.

The LDL receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) regulates the PDGF signaling pathway by binding the protein phosphatase SHP-2 and modulating SHP-2- mediated PDGF signaling events. [PDF]
The PDGF signaling pathway plays a major role in several biological systems, including vascular remodeling that occurs following percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. Recent studies have shown that the LDL receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) is a
