Purification and Characterization of a Chloroplast Outer-Envelope-Bound, ATP-Dependent Protein Kinase [PDF]
, 1988 An ATP-dependent protein kinase was partially purified from isolated outer envelope membranes of pea (Pisum sativum L., Progress No. 9) chloroplasts. The purified kinase had a molecular weight of 70 kilodaltons, as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate ...

cAMP−EPAC−PKCε−RIM1α signaling regulates presynaptic long-term potentiation and motor learning
eLife, 2023 The cerebellum is involved in learning of fine motor skills, yet whether presynaptic plasticity contributes to such learning remains elusive. Here, we report that the EPAC-PKCε module has a critical role in a presynaptic form of long-term potentiation in

The Tails of Protein Kinase A [PDF]
Molecular Pharmacology, 2022 Protein kinase A (PKA) is a holoenzyme consisting of a regulatory (R)-subunit dimer and two catalytic (C)-subunits. There are two major families of C-subunits, Cα and Cβ, and four functionally nonredundant R-subunits (RIα, RIβ, RIIα, RIIβ). In addition to binding to and being regulated by the R-subunits, the C-subunits are regulated by two tail regions

Structural Mechanism for the Specific Assembly and Activation of the Extracellular Signal Regulated Kinase 5 (ERK5) Module [PDF]
, 2013 Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation depends on a linear binding motif found in all MAPK kinases (MKK). In addition, the PB1 (Phox and Bem1) domain of MKK5 is required for extracellular signal regulated kinase 5 (ERK5) activation.

Age-dependent motor dysfunction due to neuron-specific disruption of stress-activated protein kinase MKK7. [PDF]
, 2017 c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) is a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase family and controls various physiological processes including apoptosis. A specific upstream activator of JNKs is the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 7 (MKK7).

c-Jun N-Terminal Kinase in Inflammation and Rheumatic Diseases. [PDF]
, 2012 The c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) are members of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family and are activated by environmental stress. JNK is also activated by proinflammatory cytokines, such as TNF and IL-1, and Toll-like receptor ligands ...

Depletion of Ca2+ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum of cardiac muscle prompts phosphorylation of phospholamban to stimulate store refilling [PDF]
, 1998 Nonmuscle cells have almost ubiquitously evolved a mechanism to detect and prevent Ca(2+) store depletionstore operated calcium entry. No such mechanism has, as yet, been reported in cardiac myocytes.
