Structural Insights into Protein Regulation by Phosphorylation and Substrate Recognition of Protein Kinases/Phosphatases

Life, 2021
Protein phosphorylation is one of the most widely observed and important post-translational modification (PTM) processes. Protein phosphorylation is regulated by protein kinases, each of which covalently attaches a phosphate group to an amino acid side ...

ErbB2 signaling in breast cancer : the role of ErbB, Akt and ShcA phosphorylation [PDF]

, 2004
Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women and is estimated to account for more than 200,000 new cancer cases in the United States in the year 2002. It now represents the second leading cause of death (40,000) from cancer in women.

Kinase Targeted Anticancer Agents: A Perspective

NUST Journal of Natural Sciences, 2022
The phosphate group present in the ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is transferred to the hydroxy group-containing tyrosine, serine, or threonine residue by the protein kinases encoded in the human genome. Till now, a large number of these kinases have been

Phosphorylation and regulation of group II metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGlu2/3) in neurons

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Group II metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors (mGlu2/3) are Gαi/o-coupled receptors and are primarily located on presynaptic axonal terminals in the central nervous system.

The juxtamembrane domain of StkP is phosphorylated and influences cell division in Streptococcus pneumoniae

mBio
Eukaryotic-like membrane Ser/Thr protein kinases play a pivotal role in different aspects of bacterial physiology. In contrast to the diversity of their extracellular domains, their cytoplasmic catalytic domains are highly conserved.

Structure-based virtual screening for novel p38 MAPK inhibitors and a biological evaluation

Acta Materia Medica, 2023
Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are a group of serine-threonine protein kinases that can be activated by extracellular stimuli. MAPK14 (p38α) affects major disease processes, while inhibition of p38α has been shown to have potential therapeutic
