The Conserved NDR Kinase Orb6 Controls Polarized Cell Growth by Spatial Regulation of the Small GTPase Cdc42
The conserved NDR kinase regulates cell morphogenesis and polarized cell growth in different eukaryotic cells ranging from yeast to neurons. Although studies have unraveled the mechanism of regulation of NDR kinase activity, the mechanism of morphology control by NDR and the effectors that mediate NDR function are unknown. Via a chemical genetic approach, we show that the fission yeast NDR homo...
متن کاملHa-ras proteins exhibit GTPase activity: point mutations that activate Ha-ras gene products result in decreased GTPase activity.
Several ras genes have been expressed at high levels in Escherichia coli and the resultant ras proteins were shown to be functional with respect to their well-known specific, high-affinity, GDP/GTP binding. We were able to detect a weak GTPase activity associated with the purified proteins. The normal cellular ras protein (p21N) exhibits approximately equal to 10 times higher GTPase activity th...
متن کاملChronological and replicative lifespan in yeast
Budding yeast is a preeminent model organism in studies of cellular aging pathways that are conserved in eukaryotes, including humans. There are two primary ways to query the lifespan of this organism.1 if one asks how many times a cell can divide, the answer will be its replicative lifespan (RLS). if, on the other hand, one asks how long a cell can stay alive without dividing, the answer will ...
متن کاملK-RAS GTPase- and B-RAF kinase-mediated T-cell tolerance defects in rheumatoid arthritis.
Autoantibodies to common autoantigens and neoantigens, such as IgG Fc and citrullinated peptides, are immunological hallmarks of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We examined whether a failure in maintaining tolerance is mediated by defects in T-cell receptor activation threshold settings. RA T cells responded to stimulation with significantly higher ERK phosphorylation (P < 0.001). Gene expression ar...
متن کاملMitogen-activated protein kinases, Fus3 and Kss1, regulate chronological lifespan in yeast
Using a systems-based approach, we have identified several genes not previously evaluated for a role(s) in chronological aging. Here, we have thoroughly investigated the chronological lifespan (CLS) of three of these genes (FUS3, KSS1 and HOG1) and their protein products, each of which have well-defined cell signaling roles in young cells. The importance of FUS3 and KSS1 in CLS are largely unkn...
