Calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase-β is an alternative upstream kinase for AMP-activated protein kinase [PDF]
Cell Metabolism, 2005 The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a critical regulator of energy balance at both the cellular and whole-body levels. Two upstream kinases have been reported to activate AMPK in cell-free assays, i.e., the tumor suppressor LKB1 and calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase. However, evidence that this is physiologically relevant currently only

Biomolecules, 2022 Eukaryotic cells have developed a complex circuitry of signalling molecules which monitor changes in their intra- and extracellular environments. One of the most widely studied signalling pathways is the highly conserved cyclic AMP (cAMP)/protein kinase ...

Biology Open, 2017 Disruption of cellular plasma membranes is a common event in many animal tissues, and the membranes are usually rapidly resealed. Moreover, repeated membrane disruptions within a single cell reseal faster than the initial wound in a protein kinase A (PKA)

Structural Basis for the Regulation of Protein Kinase A by Activation Loop Phosphorylation*
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2012 Background: Activation loop phosphorylation is a conserved mechanism for regulating protein kinases. Results: The unphosphorylated C-subunit structure of protein kinase A shows decoupling of the two lobes of the enzyme.

Insights into PI3K/AKT signaling in B cell development and chronic lymphocytic leukemia
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This Review explores how the phosphoinositide 3‐kinase and protein kinase B pathway shapes B cell development and drives chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a common blood cancer. It examines how signaling levels affect disease progression, addresses treatment challenges, and introduces novel experimental strategies to improve therapies and patient outcomes.

A-Kinase Anchoring Protein-Lbc: A Molecular Scaffold Involved in Cardiac Protection
Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2018 Heart failure is a lethal disease that can develop after myocardial infarction, hypertension, or anticancer therapy. In the damaged heart, loss of function is mainly due to cardiomyocyte death and associated cardiac remodeling and fibrosis.

Protein Kinases and Addiction [PDF]
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2008 Although drugs of abuse have different chemical structures and interact with different protein targets, all appear to usurp common neuronal systems that regulate reward and motivation. Addiction is a complex disease that is thought to involve drug‐induced changes in synaptic plasticity due to alterations in cell signaling, gene transcription, and ...

Making tau amyloid models in vitro: a crucial and underestimated challenge
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This review highlights the challenges of producing in vitro amyloid assemblies of the tau protein. We review how accurately the existing protocols mimic tau deposits found in the brain of patients affected with tauopathies. We discuss the important properties that should be considered when forming amyloids and the benchmarks that should be used to ...
