Drug Repurposing and De Novo Drug Discovery of Protein Kinase Inhibitors as New Drugs against Schistosomiasis

Molecules, 2022
Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease affecting more than 200 million people worldwide. Chemotherapy relies on one single drug, praziquantel, which is safe but ineffective at killing larval stages of this parasite.

Roscovitine Targets, Protein Kinases and Pyridoxal Kinase [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2005
(R)-Roscovitine (CYC202) is often referred to as a "selective inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases." Besides its use as a biological tool in cell cycle, neuronal functions, and apoptosis studies, it is currently evaluated as a potential drug to treat cancers, neurodegenerative diseases, viral infections, and glomerulonephritis.

Mechanism of activation of NDR protein kinase by the HMOB1 protein [PDF]

, 2005
Serine/threonine kinases of the nuclear Dbf2-related (NDR) family are highly conserved throughout the eukaryotic world. Members of this kinase family are implicated in various aspects of the regulation of cell division and cell morphology. It has been

Protein Kinase C [PDF]

IUBMB Life, 2000
Phosphorylation is a universal language used by cells to relay information between and within cells. One family of kinases that plays a key role in transducing information is the protein kinase C family. Members of this family interpret information from signals that result in phospholipid hydrolysis; they communicate to substrates throughout the cell ...

Identification of autophosphorylation sites in eukaryotic elongation factor-2 kinase [PDF]

, 2012
eEF2K [eEF2 (eukaryotic elongation factor 2) kinase] phosphorylates and inactivates the translation elongation factor eEF2. eEF2K is not a member of the main eukaryotic protein kinase superfamily, but instead belongs to a small group of so-called ...

The protein tyrosine kinases EpsB and PtkA differentially affect biofilm formation in Bacillus subtilis [PDF]

, 2014
The Gram-positive soil bacterium Bacillus subtilis is able to choose between motile and sessile lifestyles. The sessile way of life, also referred to as biofilm, depends on the formation of an extracellular polysaccharide matrix and some extracellular ...

Secreted protein kinases [PDF]

Trends in Biochemical Sciences, 2013
Protein kinases constitute one of the largest gene families and control many aspects of cellular life. In retrospect, the first indication for their existence was reported 130 years ago when the secreted protein, casein, was shown to contain phosphate.

Exploring the chemotherapeutic potential of currently used kinase inhibitors: An update

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2023
Protein kinases are enzymes that transfer phosphate to protein, resulting in the modification of the protein. The human genome encodes approximately 538 kinases.
