Adverse prognostic and predictive significance of low DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) expression in early-stage breast cancers [PDF]
, 2014 Background: DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs), a serine threonine kinase belonging to the PIKK family (phosphoinositide 3-kinase-like-family of protein kinase), is a critical component of the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ ...

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)

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 Kinase A Transgenes [PDF]
Circulation Research, 2001 The β-adrenergic receptor/adenylyl cyclase/protein kinase A (PKA) axis is the central signaling pathway that serves to stimulate cardiac function. It is classically perceived as a linear signaling cascade (Figure), and cAMP is thought to be the second messenger responsible for the positive inotropic, chronotropic, and lusitropic effects of ...
