{alpha}2-Chimaerin, cyclin-dependent kinase 5/p35, and its target collapsin response mediator protein-2 are essential components in semaphorin 3A-induced growth-cone collapse [PDF]
Neurite outgrowth is influenced by positive and negative signals that include the semaphorins, an important family of axonal outgrowth inhibitors. Here we report that the Rac GTPase activating protein (GAP){alpha}2-chimaerin is involved in Semaphorin 3A (

Regulation of Nicotiana tabacum osmotic stress-activated protein kinase and its cellular partner GAPDH by nitric oxide in response to salinity [PDF]
Several studies focused on elucidating the mechanism of nitric oxide (NO) signalling in plant cells highlighted that its biological effects are partly mediated by protein kinases. Identity of these kinases and details of how NO modulates their activities,

Mutant p53R273H disrupts PDPK1 homodimerization and contributes to PDPK1 activation
How mutant p53R273H drives AKT signaling is unclear. We show that p53R273H, but not wild‐type, directly binds PDPK1 via a mutation‐dependent conformational change. This interaction disrupts inhibitory PDPK1 homodimerization and enhances AKT phosphorylation.

Control of signaling in a MAP-kinase pathway by an RNA-binding protein.
Signaling-protein mRNAs tend to have long untranslated regions (UTRs) containing binding sites for RNA-binding proteins regulating gene expression.

Targeting the EpCAM‐AXL axis to overcome drug resistance in lung cancer
Lung cancer cells often evade therapy by hijacking signaling pathways. We reveal that cleaved EpCAM (sEpCAM) stabilizes the oncogenic protein AXL, driving NF‐κB and STAT3‐mediated chemoresistance. This EpCAM‐AXL axis identifies a high‐risk patient subset with poor prognosis.

LVRF (lymphatic and vascular resistance factor) is a VEGFA splice variant upregulated in response to anti‐angiogenic therapy that fosters tumor adaptation through enhanced vascularization, lymphangiogenesis, and metastatic dissemination. Targeting LVRF with fully human neutralizing antibodies disrupts these processes and limits resistant tumor growth ...

Phospholipase C-β 2 interacts with mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 3
Phospholipase C (PLC)-β enzymes (isoenzymes β1–β4) are activated by G protein subunits, leading to the generation of intracellular messengers which mobilize calcium and activate protein kinase C.

Engineering IL‐4 resistant proinflammatory human myeloid cells for cancer immunotherapy
We developed a scalable workflow to generate proinflammatory human myeloid cells. CRISPR/Cas9‐edited CD34+ hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells were expanded and differentiated with M‐CSF. Deletion of STAT6 or STAT6/NFKB1 enhanced macrophage proinflammatory gene expression and cytokine secretion in the presence of IL‐4 while maintaining antibody ...

Casein kinase 2 controls synapse organization and stability [PDF]
Synapse remodeling is a local and dynamic process, requiring constant modifications of the neuronal network. Post-translational modifications, such as reversible phosphorylation by kinases and phosphatases, play a crucial role in synapse development and ...
