Introduction: The structural and dynamic determinants that confer highly selective RET kinase inhibition are poorly understood. Objectives: To explore the druggability landscape of the RET active site in order to uncover structural and dynamic ...

A proanthocyanidin from cinnamomum zeylanicum stimulates phosphorylation of insulin receptor in 3t3-l1 adipocytes [PDF]
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.

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].

Nuclear CaMKII enhances histone H3 phosphorylation and remodels chromatin during cardiac hypertrophy. [PDF]
Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) plays a central role in pathological cardiac hypertrophy, but the mechanisms by which it modulates gene activity in the nucleus to mediate hypertrophic signaling remain unclear. Here, we report that

Metaphosphate: A New Phosphoryl Donor for NAD Phosphorylation
A new nicotinamid adenine dinucleotide (NAD) kinase which synthesizes nicotinamid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP) from NAD and metaphosphate was found in some microorganisms. The activity of this enzyme, designated tentatively as metaphosphate-dependent NAD kinase, was detected in Acetobacter, Achromobacter, Brevibacterium, Corynebacterium and ...

Distinct phosphorylation clusters determines the signalling outcome of the free fatty acid receptor FFA4/GPR120 [PDF]
It is established that long-chain free fatty acids including ω-3 fatty acids mediate an array of biological responses through members of the free fatty acid receptor family, which includes FFA4.

USP45 and Spindly are part of the same complex implicated in cell migration
Ubiquitylation is a protein modification implicated in several cellular processes. This process is reversible by the action of deubiquinating enzymes (DUBs).

USP15 targets ALK3/BMPR1A for deubiquitylation to enhance bone morphogenetic protein signalling [PDF]
Protein kinase ALK3/BMPR1A mediates bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signalling through phosphorylation and activation of SMADs 1/5/8. SMAD6, a transcriptional target of BMP, negatively regulates the BMP pathway by recruiting E3 ubiquitin ligases and ...

OR15-5 Human Sex Determination at the Edge of Ambiguity: Impaired SRY Phosphorylation Attenuates Expression of the Male Program [PDF]
A paradox is posed by metazoan gene-regulatory networks (GRNs) that are robust yet evolvable. Insight may be obtained through studies of bistable genetic circuits mediating developmental decisions. A model in organogenesis is provided by the sex-specific
