Plugging PKA into ERK scaffolds [PDF]
Cancers often arise in part through derangements in protein kinase signaling. A striking example of this is the finding that approximately 30% of human tumors have mutations in Ras or B-Raf, leading to aberrant ERK kinase activation. Kinase signaling networks are often organized by scaffolding and anchoring proteins that help shape the dynamics of ...

The centrosomal deubiquitylase USP21 regulates Gli1 transcriptional activity and stability [PDF]
USP21 is a centrosome-associated deubiquitylase (DUB) that has been implicated in the formation of primary cilia - crucial organelles for the regulation of the Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway in vertebrates. Here, we identify KCTD6 - a cullin-3 E3-ligase

Protein Kinase A(PKA)-Restrictcive and PKA-Permissive Phases of Oocyte Maturation [PDF]
Substantial evidence has indicated that cAMP-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase A or PKA) plays a critical role in maintaining meiotic prophase arrest in vertebrate oocytes. However, PKA activity dynamic and its physiological substrate profile during oocyte maturation remain poorly defined.

Unusual Swelling Behavior of Hydrogels Modified with Spiropyran as Appendage or Crosslinker
Not so innocent after all—spiropyran crosslinkers in methylenebisacrylamide‐crosslinked poly(acrylamide‐co‐acrylic acid) hydrogels increase crosslinking density, but also, counterintuitively, increase swelling. Charge complexation, cooperative chemo‐mechanical effects, and aggregation may explain these observations.

Microtubule-associated type II protein kinase A is important for neurite elongation. [PDF]
Neuritogenesis is a process through which neurons generate their widespread axon and dendrites. The microtubule cytoskeleton plays crucial roles throughout neuritogenesis.

Involvement of Protein Kinase C and Protein Kinase A in the Enhancement of L-type Calcium Current by GABA\u3csub\u3eB\u3c/sub\u3e Receptor Activation in Neonatal Hippocampus [PDF]
In the early neonatal period activation of GABAB receptors attenuates calcium current through N-type calcium channels while enhancing current through L-type calcium channels in rat hippocampal neurons.

Cardiac hypertrophy is inhibited by a local pool of cAMP regulated by phosphodiesterase 2 [PDF]
Rationale: Chronic elevation of 3'-5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels has been associated with cardiac remodelling and cardiac hypertrophy.

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
