Degeneration of cortical and spinal motor neurons is the typical feature of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a progressive neurodegenerative disease for which a pathogenetic role for the Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) has been demonstrated.

Domain Architecture of the Nonreceptor Tyrosine Kinase Ack1
The nonreceptor tyrosine kinase (NRTK) Ack1 comprises a distinct arrangement of non-catalytic modules. Its SH3 domain has a C-terminal to the kinase domain (SH1), in contrast to the typical SH3-SH2-SH1 layout in NRTKs.

A context‐dependent modulatory role for eIF6 in acquired resistance to vemurafenib in melanoma
Acquired resistance to vemurafenib upregulates the translation factor eIF6 in melanoma cells. Silencing eIF6 in resistant cells reduces proliferation and partially restores drug sensitivity, whereas its overexpression increases sensitivity across melanoma lines regardless of BRAF status, via modulation of mTOR, S6K, and MAPK signaling.

Phylogeny of Tec Family Kinases: Identification of a Pre-Metazoan Origin of Btk, Bmx, Itk, Tec, Txk and the Btk Regulator SH3BP5 [PDF]
It is generally considered mammals and birds have five Tec family kinases (TFKs): Btk, Bmx (also known as Etk), Itk, Tec, and Txk (also known as Rlk). Here, we discuss the domains and their functions and regulation in TFKs.

Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors as Antiangiogenic Drugs in Multiple Myeloma
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors are a new class of anticancer drugs, that are capable of directly interacting with the catalytic site of the target enzyme and thereby inhibiting catalysis. Therapeutically useful tyrosine kinase inhibitors are not specific for

The ubiquitin system in normal and infected germinal center B cells
The ubiquitin system plays a central role in germinal center (GC) B cells, influencing differentiation to long‐lived memory B cells. Oncogenic gammaherpesviruses gain access to memory B cells by establishing latency in GC B cells. Mapping ubiquitin mechanisms in normal and infected GC B cells will define specific molecular circuits in B cells germane ...

Characterization of the function of a novel protein tyrosine phophatase predicted by the genome sequence of Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
Covalent modification of proteins by reversible phosphorylation, catalysed by specific protein kinases and phosphatases, is an important mechanism for enzyme activity regulation in metabolism and signalling pathways.

Involvement of protein tyrosine phosphatases in adipogenesis: New anti-obesity targets? [PDF]
Obesity is a worldwide epidemic as well as being a major riskfactor for diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and several types ofcancers. Obesity is mainly due to the overgrowth of adiposetissue arising from an imbalance between energy intake andenergy ...

In metazoans, receptor kinases control many essential processes related to growth and development and response to the environment. The receptor kinases in plants and animals are structurally similar but evolutionarily distinct and thus while most animal ...
