Targeting autophagy-related protein kinases for potential therapeutic purpose
Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, 2020 Autophagy, defined as a scavenging process of protein aggregates and damaged organelles mediated by lysosomes, plays a significant role in the quality control of macromolecules and organelles.

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...

PKD1 3D Structure Model and Docking Studies for New PKD Inhibitors [PDF]
, 2013 Protein kinase Ds (PKDs) are diacylglycerol (DAG)-regulated serine/threonine protein kinases. In intact cells, PKDs are key mediators in cellular processes pertaining to multiple diseases, including cancer, heart diseases, angiogenesis and immune ...

Presynaptically localized cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase 1 is a key determinant of spinal synaptic potentiation and pain hypersensitivity [PDF]
, 2012 Synaptic long-term potentiation (LTP) at spinal neurons directly communicating pain-specific inputs from the periphery to the brain has been proposed to serve as a trigger for pain hypersensitivity in pathological states.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Animals must match their growth rate to available nutrients. We show that in Drosophila larvae, the nutrient‐sensing TOR kinase controls growth by regulating levels of TFAM, a key regulator of mitochondrial function, in the adipose tissue. When nutrients are abundant, high TOR activity suppresses TFAM, lowering mitochondrial bioenergetic activity and ...

6-Br-5methylindirubin-3′oxime (5-Me-6-BIO) targeting the leishmanial glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) short form affects cell-cycle progression and induces apoptosis-like death: Exploitation of GSK-3 for treating leishmaniasis [PDF]
, 2009 Indirubins known to target mammalian cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) and glycogen synthase kinase (GSK-3) were tested for their antileishmanial activity.

Selective inhibition of the kinase DYRK1A by targeting its folding process
Nature Communications, 2016 Kinase inhibitors are important drugs and usually target the ATP binding pocket of kinases. Here, Kii et al.report a completely new type of kinase inhibitor that specifically targets the protein folding intermediate state, but not the mature form, of the

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses
