Purification and Characterization of a Chloroplast Outer-Envelope-Bound, ATP-Dependent Protein Kinase [PDF]
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 ...

Structures of PKA–phospholamban complexes reveal a mechanism of familial dilated cardiomyopathy
Several mutations identified in phospholamban (PLN) have been linked to familial dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and heart failure, yet the underlying molecular mechanism remains controversial.

Billion-years old proteins show the importance of N-lobe orientation in Imatinib-kinase selectivity [PDF]
The molecular origins of proteins' functions are a combinatorial search problem in the proteins' sequence space, which requires enormous resources to solve. However, evolution has already solved this optimization problem for us, leaving behind suboptimal solutions along the way. Comparing suboptimal proteins along the evolutionary pathway, or ancestors,

Drosophila heat shock response requires the jnk pathway and phosphorylation of mixed lineage kinase at a conserved serine-proline motif [PDF]
Defining context specific requirements for proteins and pathways is a major challenge in the study of signal transduction. For example, the stress-activated protein kinase (SAPK) pathways are comprised of families of closely related transducers that are ...

A three-state kinetic mechanism for scaffold mediated signal transduction [PDF]
Signaling events in eukaryotic cells are often guided by a scaffolding protein. Scaffold proteins assemble multiple proteins in a spatially localized signaling complex and exert numerous physical effects on signaling pathways. To study these effects, we consider a minimal, three-state kinetic model of scaffold mediated kinase activation.

Nicotine-induced phosphorylation of ERK in mouse primary cortical neurons: evidence for involvement of glutamatergic signaling and CaMKII. [PDF]
Extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) is activated in vivo in a number of brain areas by nicotine and other drugs of abuse. Here we show that nicotine stimulation of cultured mouse cortical neurons leads to a robust induction of ERK phosphorylation

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)

Localization of tyrosine kinase-coding region in v-abl oncogene by the expression of v-abl-encoded proteins in bacteria [PDF]
A series of plasmids containing different segments of the v-abl oncogene have been constructed to express different portions of the v- abl protein in bacteria.

A secretory kinase complex regulates extracellular protein phosphorylation. [PDF]
Although numerous extracellular phosphoproteins have been identified, the protein kinases within the secretory pathway have only recently been discovered, and their regulation is virtually unexplored.

Insights into PI3K/AKT signaling in B cell development and chronic lymphocytic leukemia
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.
