Cascades of multisite phosphorylation control Sic1 destruction at the onset of S phase. [PDF]
, 2011 Multisite phosphorylation of proteins has been proposed to transform a graded protein kinase signal into an ultrasensitive switch-like response. Although many multiphosphorylated targets have been identified, the dynamics and sequence of individual ...

An Affinity-directed Protein Missile (AdPROM) System for Targeted Destruction of Endogenous Proteins
Bio-Protocol, 2017 We recently reported an Affinity-directed PROtein Missile (AdPROM) system for the targeted proteolysis of endogenous proteins of interest (POI) (Fulcher et al., 2016 and 2017).

On the Control of TCR Phosphorylation [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2012 The T-cell receptor (TCR) is responsible first of all for recognizing small peptides embedded in major histocompatibility complex molecules (pMHC). The information that a complex has thus formed is then transduced across the membrane via “triggering” of the TCR.

PKCɛ switches Aurora B specificity to exit the abscission checkpoint
Nature Communications, 2016 The Aurora B abscission checkpoint is activated when DNA is retained in the cleavage furrow on completion of anaphase. Here the authors show that PKCɛ directly phosphorylates Aurora B triggering a switch in Aurora B substrate specificity to elicit ...

On the existence of Hopf bifurcations in the sequential and distributive double phosphorylation cycle [PDF]
, 2019 Protein phosphorylation cycles are important mechanisms of the post translational modification of a protein and as such an integral part of intracellular signaling and control. We consider the sequential phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of a protein

Tissue environment, not ontogeny, defines murine intestinal intraepithelial T lymphocytes
eLife, 2021 Tissue-resident intestinal intraepithelial T lymphocytes (T-IEL) patrol the gut and have important roles in regulating intestinal homeostasis. T-IEL include both induced T-IEL, derived from systemic antigen-experienced lymphocytes, and natural T-IEL ...

A proanthocyanidin from cinnamomum zeylanicum stimulates phosphorylation of insulin receptor in 3t3-l1 adipocytes [PDF]
, 2006 Non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus is due to in large part to insulin resistance, a state where the target cells are no longer responding to ordinary levels of circulating insulin.

Proteolysis of Non-phosphorylated and Phosphorylated Tau by Thrombin [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2005 The microtubule-associated protein tau aggregates intracellularly by unknown mechanisms in Alzheimer's disease and other tauopathies. A contributing factor may be a failure to break down free cytosolic tau, thus creating a surplus for aggregation, although the proteases that degrade tau in brain remain unknown.
