Background Diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) regulates intracellular signaling and functions by converting diacylglycerol (DAG) into phosphatidic acid. We previously demonstrated that DGK inhibition attenuates airway smooth muscle (ASM) cell proliferation ...

Dynamic architecture of a protein kinase [PDF]
Significance Protein kinases represent a critically important family of regulatory enzymes. Their activity can be altered by mutations and binding events distant from the active site. To understand the nature of these long-distance effects, we used microsecond-timescale molecular dynamic simulation to subdivide a prototypical kinase, protein ...

Activation of Ciona sperm motility: phosphorylation of dynein polypeptides and effects of a tyrosine kinase inhibitor [PDF]
A high molecular mass dynein ATPase polypeptide and a 18–20 kDa dynein light chain of Ciona sperm flagella are phosphorylated during in vivo activation of motility or in vitro activation of motility by incubation with cyclic AMP.

TAK1-dependent autophagy: A suppressor of fatty liver disease and hepatic oncogenesis. [PDF]
In addition to regulating the activation of nuclear factor (NF)-κB and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), TGF-β activated kinase 1 (TAK1) also upregulates the activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and autophagy.

Disordered but rhythmic—the role of intrinsic protein disorder in eukaryotic circadian timing
Unstructured domains known as intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are present in nearly every part of the eukaryotic core circadian oscillator. IDRs enable many diverse inter‐ and intramolecular interactions that support clock function. IDR conformations are highly tunable by post‐translational modifications and environmental conditions, which ...

Protein kinase A is a common negative regulator of Hedgehog signaling in the vertebrate embryo.
Midline signaling by Hedgehog (Hh) family members has been implicated in patterning the vertebrate embryo. We have explored the potential regulatory role of cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) in these events.

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Modulation by cAMP of a Slowly Activating Potassium Channel Expressed in \u3cem\u3eXenopus\u3c/em\u3e Oocytes [PDF]
When expressed in the Xenopus oocyte, the minK protein induces a slowly activating voltage-dependent potassium current (Isk). We studied the modulation of this current by altering intracellular cAMP levels and found that the amplitude of Isk is ...
