Reactive Oxygen Species Mediate the Activation of Akt/Protein Kinase B by Angiotensin II in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells*

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1999
Angiotensin II, a hypertrophic/anti-apoptotic hormone, utilizes reactive oxygen species (ROS) as growth-related signaling molecules in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs).

Regulation of protein kinase B and glycogen synthase kinase-3 by insulin and beta-adrenergic agonists in rat epididymal fat cells - Activation of protein kinase B by wortmannin-sensitive and -insensittve mechanisms [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
Previous studies using L6 myotubes have suggested that glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) is phosphoryl ated and inactivated in response to insulin by protein kinase B (PKB, also known as Akt or RAG) (Cross, D, A, E., Alessi, D, R., Cohen, P ...

Molecular bases of circadian magnesium rhythms across eukaryotes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Circadian rhythms in intracellular [Mg2+] exist across eukaryotic kingdoms. Central roles for Mg2+ in metabolism suggest that Mg2+ rhythms could regulate daily cellular energy and metabolism. In this Perspective paper, we propose that ancestral prokaryotic transport proteins could be responsible for mediating Mg2+ rhythms and posit a feedback model ...

Putative mechanism of a multivitamin treatment against insulin resistance

open access: yesAdipocyte
Insulin resistance is caused by the abnormal secretion of proinflammatory cytokines in adipose tissue, which is induced by an increase in lipid accumulation in adipocytes, hepatocytes, and myocytes. The inflammatory pathway involves multiple targets such

Dual Regulation of Platelet Protein Kinase B

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2000
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).

The Tumor Suppressor PTEN Positively Regulates Macroautophagy by Inhibiting the Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase/Protein Kinase B Pathway*

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2001
The tumor suppressor PTEN is a dual protein and phosphoinositide phosphatase that negatively controls the phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase/protein kinase B (Akt/PKB) signaling pathway.

Crosstalk between the ribosome quality control‐associated E3 ubiquitin ligases LTN1 and RNF10

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Loss of the E3 ligase LTN1, the ubiquitin‐like modifier UFM1, or the deubiquitinating enzyme UFSP2 disrupts endoplasmic reticulum–ribosome quality control (ER‐RQC), a pathway that removes stalled ribosomes and faulty proteins. This disruption may trigger a compensatory response to ER‐RQC defects, including increased expression of the E3 ligase RNF10 ...

Neobractatin and Trametinib Synergistically Induce Apoptosis and Gasdermin E‐Dependent Pyroptosis in Pancreatic Cancer Cells

open access: yesMedComm
Mutations in mitogen‐activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) are prevalent in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), but many MEK inhibitors inadvertently activate protein kinase B (AKT).

B-50 Protein Kinase and Kinase C in Rat Brain

open access: yes, 1982
Publisher Summary Adrenocorticotropic hormone ACTH and some of its fragments are known to affect both brain metabolism and behavior. Neurochemical studies have revealed that such peptides can modify RNA and protein metabolism, polyamine metabolism, cyclic nucleotide levels, catecholamine mover, and phosphorylation of both membrane proteins and lipids.

Akt1/protein kinase B enhances transcriptional reprogramming of fibroblasts to functional cardiomyocytes

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2015
Significance After a heart attack, millions to billions of cardiomyocytes are lost. Because the adult mammalian heart possesses little regenerative potential, a precipitous loss of cardiac function ensues.
