Metabolic Kinases Moonlighting as Protein Kinases [PDF]
Protein kinases regulate every aspect of cellular activity, whereas metabolic enzymes are responsible for energy production and catabolic and anabolic processes. Emerging evidence demonstrates that some metabolic enzymes, such as pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2), phosphoglycerate kinase 1 (PGK1), ketohexokinase (KHK) isoform A (KHK-A), hexokinase (HK), and ...

Phosphorylation is a universal language used by cells to relay information between and within cells. One family of kinases that plays a key role in transducing information is the protein kinase C family. Members of this family interpret information from signals that result in phospholipid hydrolysis; they communicate to substrates throughout the cell ...

We propose a simple label-free electrochemical biosensor for monitoring protein kinase activity and inhibition using a peptide-modified electrode. The biosensor employs cys-kemptide (CLRRASLG) as a substrate peptide which was immobilized on the surface ...

Roscovitine Targets, Protein Kinases and Pyridoxal Kinase [PDF]
(R)-Roscovitine (CYC202) is often referred to as a "selective inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases." Besides its use as a biological tool in cell cycle, neuronal functions, and apoptosis studies, it is currently evaluated as a potential drug to treat cancers, neurodegenerative diseases, viral infections, and glomerulonephritis.

Phosphorylation and inactivation of glycogen synthase kinase 3 by protein kinase A.
Glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3) is implicated in multiple biological processes including metabolism, gene expression, cell fate determination, proliferation, and survival. GSK-3 activity is inhibited through phosphorylation of serine 21 in GSK-3 alpha

Secreted protein kinases [PDF]
Protein kinases constitute one of the largest gene families and control many aspects of cellular life. In retrospect, the first indication for their existence was reported 130 years ago when the secreted protein, casein, was shown to contain phosphate.

Role of AMP-activated protein kinase in mechanism of metformin action.
Metformin is a widely used drug for treatment of type 2 diabetes with no defined cellular mechanism of action. Its glucose-lowering effect results from decreased hepatic glucose production and increased glucose utilization. Metformin's beneficial effects

Regulatory role of some protein kinases in signal transduction pathways in heart health and disease [PDF]
Various protein kinases including protein kinase A (PKA), Ca2+-calmodulin kinase (CaMK), phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), protein kinase C (PKC) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK: ERK1/2, p38-MAPK and JNK) are integral part of different signal ...
