The role of protein kinase C in diabetic microvascular complications
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022 Protein kinase C (PKC) is a family of serine/threonine protein kinases, the activation of which plays an important role in the development of diabetic microvascular complications.

Billion-years old proteins show the importance of N-lobe orientation in Imatinib-kinase selectivity [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The molecular origins of proteins' functions are a combinatorial search problem in the proteins' sequence space, which requires enormous resources to solve. However, evolution has already solved this optimization problem for us, leaving behind suboptimal solutions along the way. Comparing suboptimal proteins along the evolutionary pathway, or ancestors,

Protein Kinase C Inhibitors Reduce SARS-CoV-2 Replication in Cultured Cells
Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 Infection by severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has posed a severe threat to global public health. The current study revealed that several inhibitors of protein kinases C (PKCs) possess protective activity against SARS ...

Regulation of the ABC kinases by phosphorylation: protein kinase C as a paradigm.
Biochemical Journal, 2003 Phosphorylation plays a central role in regulating the activation and signalling lifetime of protein kinases A, B (also known as Akt) and C. These kinases share three conserved phosphorylation motifs: the activation loop segment, the turn motif and the ...

Making tau amyloid models in vitro: a crucial and underestimated challenge
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This review highlights the challenges of producing in vitro amyloid assemblies of the tau protein. We review how accurately the existing protocols mimic tau deposits found in the brain of patients affected with tauopathies. We discuss the important properties that should be considered when forming amyloids and the benchmarks that should be used to ...

A three-state kinetic mechanism for scaffold mediated signal transduction [PDF]
, 2008 Signaling events in eukaryotic cells are often guided by a scaffolding protein. Scaffold proteins assemble multiple proteins in a spatially localized signaling complex and exert numerous physical effects on signaling pathways. To study these effects, we consider a minimal, three-state kinetic model of scaffold mediated kinase activation.

LAST: Latent Space Assisted Adaptive Sampling for Protein Trajectories [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is widely used to study protein conformations and dynamics. However, conventional simulation suffers from being trapped in some local energy minima that are hard to escape. Thus, most computational time is spent sampling in the already visited regions.

Protein kinase C in transmembrane signalling [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1990 Protein kinase C functions as the transducer of a second messenger, diacylglycerol, and is the major receptor for tumour‐promoting phorbol esters. The enzyme is a family of proteins with closely but distinct structures and individual enzymological properties.

Unraveling Mycobacterium tuberculosis acid resistance and pH homeostasis mechanisms
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Mycobacterium tuberculosis exhibits a remarkable resilience to acid stress. In this Review, we discuss some of the molecular mechanisms and metabolic pathways used by the tubercle bacilli to adapt and resist host‐mediated acid stress. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is a successful pathogen that has developed a variety of strategies to survive and ...
