Molecular Dynamics‐Guided Sterol Engineering of mRNA‐Lipid Nanoparticles Reprograms Biodistribution and Enhances Spleen‐Selective Immunity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Sterol engineering enables precise control of mRNA lipid nanoparticles by tuning membrane organization. Replacing cholesterol with bile acid‐derived sterols redirects protein expression from the liver to the spleen. Notably, CA‐20 LNP enhances antigen‐specific immune responses while exhibiting a favorable safety profile, highlighting sterols as a ...

Noninvasive in Vivo Imaging of Protein Kinase a Activity

Molecular Imaging, 2008
Protein kinases play pivotal roles in almost all cellular signaling pathways, and modulation of their activity is desirable in both disease and studies of function.

Protein Kinase A–Dependence of the Supraspinally Mediated Analgesic Effects of Gabapentin on Thermal and Mechanical Hypersensitivity

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2009
.: We have recently shown that gabapentin generates protein kinase A (PKA)-dependent presynaptic inhibition of GABAergic synaptic transmission in locus coeruleus (LC) neurons only under neuropathic states.

EDNRA Forms a Positive Feedback Loop with the Hippo/YAP Axis to Drive Triple‐Negative Breast Cancer Progression

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Endothelin receptor type A (EDNRA) and the Hippo/YAP pathway form a self‐reinforcing loop that sustains triple‐negative breast cancer. EDNRA activates YAP through Gαq/11–Rho/ROCK–LATS signaling, while YAP/TEAD4 reciprocally drives EDNRA transcription.

An active protein kinase A (PKA) is involved in meiotic arrest of rat growing oocytes [PDF]

Reproduction, 2006
Abstract Reinitiation of meiosis in meiotically competent, fully grown mammalian oocytes is governed by a fall in intraoocyte cAMP concentrations and the subsequent inactivation of protein kinase A (PKA). A similar reduction in intraoocyte cAMP concentrations in growing, meiotically incompetent rat oocytes not leading to resumption of

An in vitro Assay to Screen for Substrates of PKA Using Phospho-motif-specific Antibodies

Bio-Protocol, 2020
Kinases function as regulators of many cellular processes such as cell migration. These enzymes typically phosphorylate target motif sequences. Mass spec or phospho-specific antibody detection can be used to determine whether a kinase can phosphorylate ...

Quantum Phenomena in Molecular and Biological Systems: A Decoherence‐Based Decision Framework With Falsifiable Predictions and a Failure‐Mode Taxonomy

Advanced Physics Research, EarlyView.
A physics‐grounded framework based on decoherence timescales (τ_dec vs τ_func), Markovian validity, and falsifiability criteria is applied across molecular systems to distinguish where quantum effects are necessary, marginal, or irrelevant. The analysis integrates quantum chemistry, biological quantum mechanisms, and quantum computing under a unified ...

Inosine‐Triphosphate‐Pyrophosphatase Activity as a Potential Predictor of Methotrexate Remission in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Methotrexate (MTX) is the first‐line therapy for juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), but up to 40% of patients do not respond to it. Low inosine triphosphate pyrophosphatase (ITPA) activity has been associated with reduced clinical remission. We investigated the role and underlying mechanisms of ITPA in vitro. Methods ITPA enzymatic activity

Light-gated integrator for highlighting kinase activity in living cells

Nature Communications
Protein kinases are key signaling nodes that regulate fundamental biological and disease processes. Illuminating kinase signaling from multiple angles can provide deeper insights into disease mechanisms and improve therapeutic targeting.

Bimodal antagonism of PKA signalling by ARHGAP36

Nature Communications, 2016
Protein kinase A (PKA) is a key mediator of cyclic AMP signalling. Here, Eccles et al. show that ARHGAP36 antagonizes PKA by acting as a kinase inhibitor and targeting the catalytic subunit for endolysosomal degradation, thus reducing sensitivity of ...
