Positional information readout in $Ca^{2+}$ signaling [PDF]
Phys. Rev. Lett. 123, 058102 (2019), 2017Living cells respond to spatial signals. Signal transmission to the cell interior often involves the release of second messengers like $Ca^{2+}$ . They will eventually trigger a physiological response by activating kinases that in turn activate target proteins through phosphorylation. Here, we investigate theoretically how positional information can be

Alternative Splicing in Oncogenic Kinases: From Physiological Functions to Cancer [PDF]
Journal of Nucleic Acids, 2012Among the 518 protein kinases encoded by the human kinome, several of them act as oncoproteins in human cancers. Like other eukaryotic genes, oncogenes encoding protein kinases are frequently subjected to alternative splicing in coding as well as ...

Comparative kinomics of human and chimpanzee reveal unique kinship and functional diversity generated by new domain combinations [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2008Background Phosphorylation by protein kinases is a common event in many cellular processes. Further, many kinases perform specialized roles and are regulated by non-kinase domains tethered to kinase domain. Perturbation in the regulation of kinases leads

Analysis of the human kinome using methods including fold recognition reveals two novel kinases. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008Protein sequence similarity is a commonly used criterion for inferring the unknown function of a protein from a protein of known function. However, proteins can diverge significantly over time such that sequence similarity is difficult, if not impossible,
