The Molecular Mechanism of B Cell Activation by toll-like Receptor Protein RP-105 [PDF]
The B cell–specific transmembrane protein RP-105 belongs to the family of Drosophila toll-like proteins which are likely to trigger innate immune responses in mice and man.

A specific role for phosphoinositide 3-kinase and AKT in osteoblasts?
The phosphoinositide 3-kinase and AKT (Protein Kinase B, PKB) signalling pathway (PI3K/AKT) plays a central role in the control of cell survival, growth and proliferation throughout the body.

Using the structural kinome to systematize kinase drug discovery [PDF]
Kinase-targeted drug design is challenging. It requires designing inhibitors that can bind to specific kinases when all kinase catalytic domains share a common folding scaffold that binds ATP. Thus, obtaining the desired selectivity, given the whole human kinome, is a fundamental task during early-stage drug discovery.

Activation of protein phosphatase 2A by cAMP-dependent protein kinase-catalyzed phosphorylation of the 74-kDa B″ (δ) regulatory subunit in vitro and identification of the phosphorylation sites [PDF]
Human erythrocyte protein phosphatase 2A, which comprises a 34-kDa catalytic C subunit, a 63-kDa regulatory A subunit and a 74-kDa regulatory B″ (δ) subunit, was phosphorylated at serine residues of B″ in vitro by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (A-kinase).

Transcriptional landscape of SARS-CoV-2 infection dismantles pathogenic pathways activated by the virus, proposes unique sex-specific differences and predicts tailored therapeutic strategies [PDF]
The emergence of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) disease (COVID-19) has posed a serious threat to global health. As no specific therapeutics are yet available to control disease evolution, more in-depth understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms induced by SARS-CoV-2 will help to characterize new targets for the ...

A knowledge graph representation learning approach to predict novel kinase-substrate interactions [PDF]
The human proteome contains a vast network of interacting kinases and substrates. Even though some kinases have proven to be immensely useful as therapeutic targets, a majority are still understudied. In this work, we present a novel knowledge graph representation learning approach to predict novel interaction partners for understudied kinases.

GAPDOCK: A genetic algorithm approach to protein docking in CAPRI round 1 [PDF]
As part of the first Critical Assessment of PRotein Interactions, round 1, we predict the structure of two protein-protein complexes, by using a genetic algorithm, GAPDOCK, in combination with surface complementarity, buried surface area, biochemical ...

Ligand recognition by 14‐3‐3 proteins requires negative charges but not necessarily phosphorylation
Interactions of 14‐3‐3 proteins with their binding partners are attributed to phosphorylation of the binding partners. In this work, we show that at least one negative charge is required for the peptides to bind 14‐3‐3ε, although phosphorylation is not necessary, and that two negative charges are preferable for high affinity binding.
