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

Targeting Catecholamines to Develop New Drugs for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder [PDF]
The prevalence of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a developmental neuropsychiatric disorder, is high among children and adolescents. The pathogenesis of ADHD is mediated with genetic, biological, and environmental factors.

High glucose induces Nox4 expression and podocyte apoptosis through the Smad3/ezrin/PKA pathway
Podocytes are the major target in proteinuric kidney diseases such as diabetic nephropathy. The underlying molecular mechanisms by which high glucose (HG) results in podocyte damage remain unclear.

A theoretical approach to the pKA assessment for dimers of saturated carboxylic acids CnH2n+1COOH( n = 6 - 16) and amines CnH2n+1NH2 (n = 6 — 16) at the air/water interface is proposed.

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.

PKA preperation of some diimines acids derived from benzil [PDF]
The study is concerned with the preparation of four acids having diimines in a forms of Schiff bases as well as oxime in the same molecule. The acids prepared are identified by using UV, IR, NMR and melting points.

Effect of Atomic Charge and Some Physical Properties on pKa of Substituted Pyridines [PDF]
A number of different levels of theoretical calculations have been used for assigning the Mulliken charge to the atoms of mono-substituted pyridines, including both quantum chemical and empirical schemes.
