An Affinity-directed Protein Missile (AdPROM) System for Targeted Destruction of Endogenous Proteins
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).

Phosphorylation is required for the pathogen defense function of the Arabidopsis PEN3 ABC transporter. [PDF]
The Arabidopsis PEN3 ABC transporter accumulates at sites of pathogen detection, where it is involved in defense against a number of pathogens. Perception of PAMPs by pattern recognition receptors initiates recruitment of PEN3 and also leads to PEN3 ...

Mapping and Functional Role of Phosphorylation Sites in the Thyroid Transcription Factor-1 (TTF-1) [PDF]
The phosphorylation of thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1), a homeodomain-containing transcription factor that is required for thyroid-specific expression of the thyroglobulin and thyroperoxidase gene promoters, has been studied.

Proteolysis of Non-phosphorylated and Phosphorylated Tau by Thrombin [PDF]
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.

Determination of VPS34/PIK3C3 Activity in vitro Utilising 32P-γATP
VPS34 is the only class III phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) in mammalian cells and produces the vast majority of cellular phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate [PI(3)P].

Tissue environment, not ontogeny, defines murine intestinal intraepithelial T lymphocytes
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 ...

Syk-dependent Phosphorylation of CLEC-2: A Novel Mechanism of Hem-Immunoreceptor Tyrosine-Based Activation Motif Signaling [PDF]
The C-type lectin-like receptor CLEC-2 signals via phosphorylation of a single cytoplasmic YXXL sequence known as a hem-immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (hemITAM).

On the existence of Hopf bifurcations in the sequential and distributive double phosphorylation cycle [PDF]
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

PKCɛ switches Aurora B specificity to exit the abscission checkpoint
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 ...

Cascades of multisite phosphorylation control Sic1 destruction at the onset of S phase. [PDF]
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 ...
