Regulation of signal duration and the statistical dynamics of kinase activation by scaffold proteins [PDF]
PLoS Comput Biol. 2008 Jun 27;4(6):e1000099, 2008 Scaffolding proteins that direct the assembly of multiple kinases into a spatially localized signaling complex are often essential for the maintenance of an appropriate biological response. Although scaffolds are widely believed to have dramatic effects on the dynamics of signal propagation, the mechanisms that underlie these consequences are not well ...

Phosphorylation and inactivation of glycogen synthase kinase 3 by protein kinase A.
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2000 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

The Role of Cyclic AMP Signaling in Cardiac Fibrosis
Cells, 2019 Myocardial stress and injury invariably promote remodeling of the cardiac tissue, which is associated with cardiomyocyte death and development of fibrosis. The fibrotic process is initially triggered by the differentiation of resident cardiac fibroblasts

Oncogenic PKA signaling increases c-MYC protein expression through multiple targetable mechanisms
eLife, 2023 Genetic alterations that activate protein kinase A (PKA) are found in many tumor types. Yet, their downstream oncogenic signaling mechanisms are poorly understood.

Role of AMP-activated protein kinase in mechanism of metformin action.
Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2001 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]
Scripta Medica, 2023 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 ...

Resolving the binding-kinase discrepancy in bacterial chemotaxis: A nonequilibrium allosteric model and the role of energy dissipation [PDF]
Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 120, e2303115120 (2023), 2023 The Escherichia coli chemotaxis signaling pathway has served as a model system for studying the adaptive sensing of environmental signals by large protein complexes. The chemoreceptors control the kinase activity of CheA in response to the extracellular ligand concentration and adapt across a wide concentration range by undergoing methylation and ...

Suppression of Raf-1 kinase activity and MAP kinase signalling by RKIP [PDF]
, 1999 Raf-1 phosphorylates and activates MEK-1, a kinase that activates the extracellular signal regulated kinases (ERK). This kinase cascade controls the proliferation and differentiation of different cell types.

The many-faced KSR1: a tumor suppressor in breast cancer [PDF]
, 2015 Emerging evidence supports the dual function of kinase suppressor of Ras 1 (KSR1) as an active kinase and a scaffold, although it has been extensively referred as a pseudokinase, due to the absence of key residues in its catalytic domain [1, 2].
