c-MYC activates protein kinase A (PKA) by direct transcriptional activation of the PKA catalytic subunit beta (PKA-Cβ) gene [PDF]
The c-MYC proto-oncogene encodes a ubiquitous transcription factor involved in the control of cell growth and differentiation and broadly implicated in tumorigenesis. Understanding the function of c-MYC and its role in cancer depends upon the identification of c-MYC target genes. Here we show that c-MYC induces the activity of Protein Kinase A (PKA), a

The plant hormone abscisic acid stimulates megakaryocyte differentiation from human iPSCs in vitro
In the clinic, the supply of platelets is frequently insufficient to meet transfusion needs. To address this issue, many scientists have established the derivation of functional platelets from CD34+ cells or human pluripotent stem cells (PSCs).

PKA-RIIβ autophosphorylation modulates PKA activity and seizure phenotypes in mice [PDF]
AbstractTemporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is one of the most common and intractable neurological disorders in adults. Dysfunctional PKA signaling is causally linked to the TLE. However, the mechanism underlying PKA involves in epileptogenesis is still poorly understood.

Potentiometric investigation of acid-base equilibria of two new pyrimidine derivatives in various methanol-water media [PDF]
The acid-base properties of 1-amino-5-benzoyl-4-phenyl-1H-pyrimidine-2-one (L1) and 1-amino-5-benzoyl-4-phenyl-1H-pyrimidine-2-thione (L2) were investigated potentiometrically at an ionic strength of 0.10M(LiCl) in 19.8, 33.6 and 55.9 % (v/v) methanol ...
