Mechanism of TNFα-induced downregulation of salt-inducible kinase 2 in adipocytes

Scientific Reports, 2023
Salt-inducible kinase 2 (SIK2) is highly expressed in white adipocytes, but downregulated in individuals with obesity and insulin resistance. These conditions are often associated with a low-grade inflammation in adipose tissue.

RNF12 X-Linked Intellectual Disability Mutations Disrupt E3 Ligase Activity and Neural Differentiation

Cell Reports, 2018
Summary: X-linked intellectual disability (XLID) is a heterogeneous syndrome affecting mainly males. Human genetics has identified >100 XLID genes, although the molecular and developmental mechanisms underpinning this disorder remain unclear.

Phosphorylation of prolactin.

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1986
Rat prolactin exhibits microheterogeneity when examined in electrophoretic systems, running as three isoforms having the same molecular weight but different net charges (prolactins 1, 2, and 3 with isoform 3 being the most acidic). As there is precedent for the phosphorylation of a pituitary hormone and phosphorylation is a common cause of ...

Synthesis of Isomeric Phosphoubiquitin Chains Reveals that Phosphorylation Controls Deubiquitinase Activity and Specificity

Cell Reports, 2016
Ubiquitin is post-translationally modified by phosphorylation at several sites, but the consequences of these modifications are largely unknown. Here, we synthesize multi-milligram quantities of ubiquitin phosphorylated at serine 20, serine 57, and ...

Mapping the substrate landscape of protein phosphatase 2A catalytic subunit PPP2CA

iScience
Summary: Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is an essential Ser/Thr phosphatase. The PP2A holoenzyme complex comprises a scaffolding (A), regulatory (B), and catalytic (C) subunit, with PPP2CA being the principal catalytic subunit.

Determination of Cellular Phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate (PI3P) Levels Using a Fluorescently Labelled Selective PI3P Binding Domain (PX)

Bio-Protocol, 2016
The lipid Phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate [PtdIns3P or PI(3)P] plays many membrane trafficking roles and is primarily produced by the Class III PI3K, VPS34. Determining the level of cellular PI(3)P however can be complex.

Phosphoproteomics identifies a bimodal EPHA2 receptor switch that promotes embryonic stem cell differentiation

Nature Communications, 2020
Fgf4 is a critical signal driving embryonic stem cell (ESC) exit from pluripotency and differentiation. Here the authors identify EPHA2 as a target of FGF4 signalling in ESCs, and show that EPHA2-EFNA1 signalling promotes pluripotent gene expression and ...

Targeted dephosphorylation of SMAD3 as an approach to impede TGF-β signaling

iScience
Summary: TGF-β (transforming growth factor-β) signaling is involved in a myriad of cellular processes and its dysregulation has been implicated in many human diseases, including fibrosis and cancer.

The Geometry of Multisite Phosphorylation [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2008
Reversible protein phosphorylation on multiple sites is a key regulatory mechanism in most cellular processes. We consider here a kinase-phosphatase-substrate system with two sites, under mass-action kinetics, with no restrictions on the order of phosphorylation or dephosphorylation.

In Vitro Reconstitution Defines the Minimal Requirements for Cdc48-Dependent Disassembly of the CMG Helicase in Budding Yeast

Cell Reports, 2019
Summary: Disassembly of the replisome is the final step of chromosome duplication in eukaryotes. In budding yeast and metazoa, cullin ubiquitin ligases are required to ubiquitylate the Cdc45-MCM-GINS (CMG) helicase that lies at the heart of the replisome,
