Dual Regulation of Platelet Protein Kinase B
Protein kinase B (PKB) is a serine/threonine kinase that is activated by growth hormones and implicated in prevention of apoptosis, glycogen metabolism, and glucose uptake. A key enzyme in PKB activation is phosphatidylinositide 3-kinase (PI-3K), which triggers the dual phosphorylation of PKB by phosphatidylinositol-dependent kinases (PDKs).

Protein kinase A- and protein kinase C-regulated interaction of plectin with lamin B and vimentin. [PDF]
Solid-phase binding assays with protein species purified from cultured rat glioma C6 cells and Ehrlich ascites revealed that plectin bound specifically to lamin B but not to lamins A and C. Lamin B interaction was significantly decreased upon in vitro phosphorylation of either lamin B or plectin with protein kinase A or C.

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.

Differential regulation of NPR-B/GC-B by protein kinase C and calcium [PDF]
C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) activation of the guanylyl cyclase-linked natriuretic peptide receptor-B (NPR-B) stimulates vasorelaxation and bone growth. Hormones and phorbol esters (PMA) inhibit NPR-B in calcium and protein kinase c-dependent manners, respectively.

Phosphorylation of the Transcription Factor Forkhead Family Member FKHR by Protein Kinase B*
Protein kinase B lies “downstream” of phosphatidylinositide (PtdIns) 3-kinase and is thought to mediate many of the intracellular actions of insulin and other growth factors.

Axonal stress kinase activation and tau misbehavior induced by kinesin-1 transport defects [PDF]
Many neurodegenerative diseases exhibit axonal pathology, transport defects, and aberrant phosphorylation and aggregation of the microtubule binding protein tau. While mutant tau protein in frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17

mTOR·RICTOR Is the Ser473 Kinase for Akt/Protein Kinase B in 3T3-L1 Adipocytes*
The insulin-signaling pathway leading to the activation of Akt/protein kinase B has been well characterized except for a single step, the phosphorylation of Akt at Ser-473.

SDF-1 and PDGF enhance [alpha]v[beta]5-mediated ERK activation and adhesion-independent growth of human pre-B cell lines [PDF]
CD23 acts through the [alpha]v[beta]5 integrin to promote growth of human pre-B cell lines in an adhesion-independent manner. [alpha]v[beta]5 is expressed on normal B-cell precursors in the bone marrow.
