Regulation of protein kinase B (PKB/Akt) by DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) under physiological conditions [PDF]
The serine/threonine protein kinase B (PKB/Akt) is a downstream effector of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and a major regulator of a variety of cellular processes, including metabolism, transcription, survival, proliferation, and growth.

Edmond Fischer's kinase legacy: History of the protein kinase inhibitor and protein kinase A
AbstractAlthough Fischer's extraordinary career came to focus mostly on the protein phosphatases, after his co‐discovery of Phosphorylase Kinase with Ed Krebs he was clearly intrigued not only by cAMP‐dependent protein kinase (PKA), but also by the heat‐stable, high‐affinity protein kinase inhibitor (PKI).

Identification of autophosphorylation sites in eukaryotic elongation factor-2 kinase [PDF]
eEF2K [eEF2 (eukaryotic elongation factor 2) kinase] phosphorylates and inactivates the translation elongation factor eEF2. eEF2K is not a member of the main eukaryotic protein kinase superfamily, but instead belongs to a small group of so-called ...

Pathogenesis of insulin resistance in leptin-deficient ob/ob mice is obscure. In another form of diet-dependent obesity, high-fat-fed mice, hepatic insulin resistance involves ceramide-induced activation of atypical protein kinase C (aPKC), which ...

Functional analysis of the "Saccharomyces cerevisiae" Npr1 protein kinase [PDF]
The uptake and processing of nutrients is highly regulated. Cells adapt to changes of the availability of nutrients to provide a complete set of transporters and metabolizing enzymes for optimal use of the available nutrients.

Protein kinase function of pyruvate kinase M2 and cancer
Pyruvate kinase is a terminal enzyme in the glycolytic pathway, where it catalyzes the conversion of phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate and production of ATP via substrate level phosphorylation.

Ets-2 is a target for an Akt (protein kinase B)/Jun N-terminal kinase signaling pathway in macrophages of motheaten-viable mutant mice [PDF]
The transcription factor ets-2 was phosphorylated at residue threonine 72 in a colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF-1)- and mitogen-activated protein kinase-independent manner in macrophages isolated from motheaten-viable (me-v) mice.

Human thrombopoiesis depends on Protein kinase Cδ/protein kinase Cε functional couple
A deeper understanding of the molecular events driving megakaryocytopoiesis and thrombopoiesis is essential to regulate in vitro and in vivo platelet production for clinical applications.
