Molecular insights into kinase mediated signaling pathways of chemokines and their cognate G protein coupled receptors

Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, 2020
Chemokines are small regulatory proteins that play a crucial role in the coordinated migration of cell populations to the site of infection/inflammation by binding to their cognate receptors.

Analysis of the human kinome using methods including fold recognition reveals two novel kinases. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2008
Protein 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,

Protein Kinase A Anchoring [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1997
Specificity is perhaps the most enigmatic property of hormonemediated signaling pathways, especially when one considers that more than 30 hormones employ the ubiquitous second messengers, Ca, phospholipid, or cAMP, to relay messages from the cell membrane to intracellular effectors.

Identification of novel small molecule inhibitors of ETS transcription factors

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
ETS transcription factors play an essential role in tumourigenesis and are indispensable for sprouting angiogenesis, a hallmark of cancer, which fuels tumour expansion and dissemination. Thus, targeting ETS transcription factor function could represent an effective, multifaceted strategy to block tumour growth. The evolutionarily conserved E‐Twenty‐Six

A Model of the Roles of Essential Kinases in the Induction and Expression of Late Long-Term Potentiation [PDF]

, 2006
The induction of late long-term potentiation (L-LTP) involves complex interactions among second messenger cascades. To gain insights into these interactions, a mathematical model was developed for L-LTP induction in the CA1 region of the hippocampus. The differential equation-based model represents actions of protein kinase A (PKA), MAP kinase (MAPK ...

The cytoskeletal control of B cell receptor and integrin signaling in normal B cells and chronic lymphocytic leukemia

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In lymphoid organs, antigen recognition and B cell receptor signaling rely on integrins and the cytoskeleton. Integrins act as mechanoreceptors, couple B cell receptor activation to cytoskeletal remodeling, and support immune synapse formation as well as antigen extraction.

Diacylglycerol kinase control of protein kinase C

Biochemical Journal, 2019
Abstract The diacylglycerol kinases (DGK) are lipid kinases that transform diacylglycerol (DAG) into phosphatidic acid (PA) in a reaction that terminates DAG-based signals. DGK provide negative regulation to conventional and novel protein kinase C (PKC) enzymes, limiting local DAG availability in a tissue- and subcellular-restricted ...

Protein Kinase Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase Kinase Kinase Kinase 4 (MAP4K4) Promotes Obesity-induced Hyperinsulinemia [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2016
Previous studies revealed a paradox whereby mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase 4 (Map4k4) acted as a negative regulator of insulin sensitivity in chronically obese mice, yet systemic deletion of Map4k4 did not improve glucose tolerance.

Clinical applications of next‐generation sequencing‐based ctDNA analyses in breast cancer: defining treatment targets and dynamic changes during disease progression

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) offers a possibility for different applications in early and late stage breast cancer management. In early breast cancer tumor informed approaches are increasingly used for detecting molecular residual disease (MRD) and early recurrence. In advanced stage, ctDNA provides a possibility for monitoring disease progression and

Comparing Theories for the Maintenance of Late LTP and Long-Term Memory: Computational Analysis of the Roles of Kinase Feedback Pathways and Synaptic Reactivation [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
How can memories be maintained from days to a lifetime, given turnover of proteins that underlie expression of long-term synaptic potentiation (LTP)? One likely solution relies on synaptic positive feedback loops, prominently including persistent activation of CaM kinase II (CaMKII) and self-activated synthesis of protein kinase M zeta (PKM).
