We present a rapid and high-throughput yeast and flow cytometry based method for predicting kinase inhibitor resistance mutations and determining kinase peptide substrate specificity. Despite the widespread success of targeted kinase inhibitors as cancer t ...
Due to their central role in normal cellular physiology, the activity of protein kinases is tightly regulated and their aberrant activation can lead to cancer. Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a blood cancer characterized by unregulated growth of myel ...
The Notch signaling pathway is a key regulator of cell fate decisions in embryonic development and in adult tissue homeostasis. Mounting evidence suggests that Notch signaling is frequently deregulated in human neoplasms, where depending upon the cellular ...
Protein kinases of the dystonia myotonica protein kinase (DMPK) family are critical regulators of actomyosin contractility in cells. The DMPK kinase MRCK1 is required for the activation of myosin, leading to the develop-ment of cortical tension, apical con ...
In this study, the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe was used as a model system to study the cellular signaling that underlies cell cycle progression. Phosphorylation plays an important part in the regulation of this process. Kinases catalyze the tra ...
Protein kinase inhibitors are an increasingly important class of targeted anticancer therapeutics. More than two dozen new drugs of this class have entered routine clinical use over the past decade. This review article focuses on how the development of met ...
Protein kinases are quintessential regulators of cellular function. Numerous pathologies are intimately linked to the dysregulated activity of a particular protein kinase. Herein we report a technology based on a proximity-induced chemical transformation t ...
The contraction and relaxation of the heart is controlled by stimulation of the beta 1-adrenoreceptor (AR) signaling cascade, which leads to activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) and subsequent cardiac protein phosphorylation. Phosphorylation i ...
Cell signalling, mediated to a large extent by protein kinase phosphorylation, plays a vital role in regulation of cellular function. PCTAIRE-1 (also known as cyclin-dependent protein kinase (CDK)16), is a Ser/Thr kinase that has been implicated in many ce ...
In this issue of Structure, Lisa et al. (2015) examine how the PknG protein kinase of M. tuberculosis efficiently binds and phosphorylates substrates. The work highlights interesting parallels between PknG and eukaryotic protein kinases. ...
