Advance in Reversible Covalent Kinase Inhibitors [PDF]
Reversible covalent kinase inhibitors (RCKIs) are a class of novel kinase inhibitors attracting increasing attention because they simultaneously show the selectivity of covalent kinase inhibitors, yet avoid permanent protein-modification-induced adverse effects.

Endocrine therapy: defining the path of least resistance [PDF]
One of the best-characterized oncogenic mechanisms in breast cancer is the aberrant activation of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase, protein kinase B, and mammalian target of rapamycin signaling.

Doxorubicin has a synergistic cytotoxicity with cucurbitacin B in anaplastic thyroid carcinoma cells
In this study, the combined effect of doxorubicin with cucurbitacin B on survival of anaplastic thyroid carcinoma cells was evaluated. For experiments, 8505C and CAL62 human anaplastic thyroid carcinoma cells were used.

Positional information readout in $Ca^{2+}$ signaling [PDF]
Living cells respond to spatial signals. Signal transmission to the cell interior often involves the release of second messengers like $Ca^{2+}$ . They will eventually trigger a physiological response by activating kinases that in turn activate target proteins through phosphorylation. Here, we investigate theoretically how positional information can be

The physical studies and interaction with anti-apoptotic proteins of 2-(bis(cyanomethyl)amino)-2-oxoethyl methacrylate molecule [PDF]
In this work 2-(bis(cyanomethyl)amino)-2-oxoethyl methacrylate (CMA2OEM) molecule has been characterized theoretically. First, the potential energy surface has been calculated to find the lowest energy state of the molecule. After the most stable state of the molecule, Mulliken atomic charge and nonlinear-optical properties were investigated.

Inhibition of phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B signaling hampers the vasopressin-dependent stimulation of myogenic differentiation [PDF]
Arginine-vasopressin (AVP) promotes muscle differentiation, hypertrophy, and regeneration through the combined activation of the calcineurin and Calcium/Calmodulin-dependent Protein Kinase (CaMK) pathways.

Inferring the Sign of Kinase-Substrate Interactions by Combining Quantitative Phosphoproteomics with a Literature-Based Mammalian Kinome Network [PDF]
Protein phosphorylation is a reversible post-translational modification commonly used by cell signaling networks to transmit information about the extracellular environment into intracellular organelles for the regulation of the activity and sorting of proteins within the cell.
