  1. Plasmodium falciparum protein kinase CK2

    … (Ridley, 2002). Reversible phosphorylation of proteins is a major regulatory mechanism in most cellular processes, and protein kinases are considered promising drug targets, comprising as much as 30% of all protein targets under investigation (Cohen, 2002). The divergences between human and …

  2. The evolution of protein kinase specificity

    Protein phosphorylation represents one of the most important post-translational modifica- tions (PTMs) for cell signalling, and is is catalysed by a group of enzymes called protein kinases. Through this activity they serve as key regulators of almost all cellular processes. This is achieved at any …

  3. Characterization of zebrafish zipper-interacting protein kinase

    <p>Zipper-Interacting Protein Kinase (ZIPK) is a known modulator of actin-myosin contractility in vertebrate species. Interestingly, rodent and mouse ZIPK has undergone a divergence in regulation in comparison to other vertebrate orthologs including human. Whereas the human ortholog of ZIPK …

    … calcium/calmodulin regulated myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) and smooth muscle myosin phosphatase (SMPP-1M) determine the amount of force generated by smooth muscle. The calcium-independent signaling mediated by myosin phosphatase is regulated by several kinases which include zipper interacting …

  5. AMP-activated protein kinase and muscle metabolism

    AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a major regulator of skeletal muscle metabolism with relevance to agriculture and human health. During the conversion of muscle to meat, the rate and extent of postmortem metabolism and pH decline largely determine pork quality development. Pigs with the …

  6. Investigating the regulation of the PCTAIRE-1 protein kinase : a new target of AMP-activated protein kinase and beyond?

    PCTK1 is a Cdc2-related protein kinase that is poorly characterised. Several studies have investigated its role and regulation, and have provided some insight into its upstream regulation by PKA/CDK5 phosphorylation. Proposed physiological functions include vesicle trafficking and neurite …

  8. Interaction Mapping of the Atypical Protein Kinase WNK3

    The story of the protein kinase "with no lysine 3" (WNK3) represents a unique chapter in the larger story of protein kinases, the so-called 'molecular switches' of the cell that serve the vital function of phosphorylating myriad proteins. In doing so, these enzymes furnish the cell with one of the …

    Ataxia-Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM) is a key protein kinase in the cell’s response to double-stranded breaks in DNA. This damage is detected by the Mre11-Rad50-Nbs1 (MRN) complex, which recruits ATM to the DNA. Upon activation, ATM phosphorylates a vast range of substrates, which triggers a …
