Gravin orchestrates protein kinase A and 2-adrenergic receptor signaling critical for synaptic plasticity and memory [PDF]
A kinase-anchoring proteins (AKAPs) organize compartmentalized pools of protein kinase A (PKA) to enable localized signaling events within neurons. However, it is unclear which of the many expressed AKAPs in neurons target PKA to signaling complexes ...

An epithelial GPR35 isoform supports tumor‐associated transcriptional and metabolic phenotypes
GPR35 generates two functionally distinct isoforms with previously unresolved roles. GPR35‐short mediates immune‐cell chemotaxis, while GPR35‐long is enriched in colorectal cancer epithelium, where it supports increased metabolism, proliferation, and tumor‐associated transcriptional programs.

On the origins of enzyme inhibitor selectivity and promiscuity: a case study of protein kinase binding to staurosporine [PDF]
Protein kinases are important regulatory enzymes in signal transduction and in cell regulation. Understanding inhibition mechanisms of kinases is important for the further development of new therapies for cancer and inflammatory diseases.

Phosphorylation events that occur in response to the second messenger cAMP are controlled spatially and temporally by protein kinase A (PKA) interacting with A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs).

Animals must match their growth rate to available nutrients. We show that in Drosophila larvae, the nutrient‐sensing TOR kinase controls growth by regulating levels of TFAM, a key regulator of mitochondrial function, in the adipose tissue. When nutrients are abundant, high TOR activity suppresses TFAM, lowering mitochondrial bioenergetic activity and ...

Functional studies of serine/threonine protein kinase signalling in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. [PDF]
Fork-head associated (FHA) domains function in the assembly of signalling complexes through specific interactions with phospho-threonine motifs. FHA domains are found in eukaryotes, and intriguingly in a subset of bacterial species including Mycobacteria

Akt2, a Novel Functional Link between p38 Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase and Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase Pathways in Myogenesis [PDF]
Activation of either the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase)/Akt or the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways accelerates myogenesis but only when the reciprocal pathway is functional. We therefore examined the hypothesis

Structural instability in an autophosphorylating kinase switch [PDF]
We analyse a simple kinase model that exhibits bistability when there is no protein turnover, and show analytically that the property of being bistable is not necessarily conserved when degradation and synthesis of the kinase are taken into ...

Effect ofCHKAgene silencing on biological behavior of glioma cell and its mechanism
Background and purpose: Glioma is one of the common intracranial malignant tumors, but the specific mechanism was unclear. The expression level of choline kinase A (CHKA) is positively correlated with the malignant grade of glioma.

In vitro and in vivo phosphorylation of the Cav2.3 voltage-gated R-type calcium channel
During the recording of whole cell currents from stably transfected HEK-293 cells, the decline of currents carried by the recombinant human Cav2.3+β3 channel subunits is related to adenosine triphosphate (ATP) depletion after rupture of the cells.
