Exploring the chemotherapeutic potential of currently used kinase inhibitors: An update
Protein kinases are enzymes that transfer phosphate to protein, resulting in the modification of the protein. The human genome encodes approximately 538 kinases.

Calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase-β is an alternative upstream kinase for AMP-activated protein kinase [PDF]
The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a critical regulator of energy balance at both the cellular and whole-body levels. Two upstream kinases have been reported to activate AMPK in cell-free assays, i.e., the tumor suppressor LKB1 and calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase. However, evidence that this is physiologically relevant currently only

Roscovitine Targets, Protein Kinases and Pyridoxal Kinase [PDF]
(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.

An evolutionary perspective on the kinome of malaria parasites [PDF]
Malaria parasites belong to an ancient lineage that diverged very early from the main branch of eukaryotes. The approximately 90-member plasmodial kinome includes a majority of eukaryotic protein kinases that clearly cluster within the AGC, CMGC, TKL ...

Lipid activation of protein kinases
Lipids acutely control the amplitude, duration, and subcellular location of signaling by lipid second messenger-responsive kinases. Typically, this activation is controlled by membrane-targeting modules that allosterically control the function of kinase ...

The specificities of small molecule inhibitors of the TGF beta and BMP pathways [PDF]
Small molecule inhibitors of type 1 receptor serine threonine kinases (ALKs1-7), the mediators of TGF beta and BMP signals, have been employed extensively to assess their physiological roles in cells and organisms. While all of these inhibitors have been
