Cytokine signaling: Cytokine-inducible signaling inhibitors
Seven members of a family of cytokine-inducible proteins have been identified, a number of which have been shown to act as negative regulators of cytokine action. All of these proteins contain a central Src homology 2 domain, as well as conserved motifs in their carboxy-terminal regions.
متن کاملCytokine signaling: Inhibitors keep cytokines in check
Most mammalian cell types express a wide variety of cytokine receptors at the cell surface. These receptors translate and transduce various signals from the external environment to the interior of the cell to generate the appropriate response. The last five years have been a period of remarkable progress in elucidating the biochemistry of cytokine signaling. The discovery and characterization o...
متن کاملCytokine Signaling in Tumor Progression
Cytokines are molecules that play critical roles in the regulation of a wide range of normal functions leading to cellular proliferation, differentiation and survival, as well as in specialized cellular functions enabling host resistance to pathogens. Cytokines released in response to infection, inflammation or immunity can also inhibit cancer development and progression. The predominant intrac...
متن کاملNegative regulation of cytokine signaling.
Cytokines use complex signaling cascades to elicit their biological effects, many of which involve phosphorylation as a mechanism of activation. Rapid and efficient attenuation of cytokine signals is crucial to maintaining regulation of these processes and to preventing toxic side effects. Phosphatases have been shown to be involved in these regulatory processes, but more recent research has se...
متن کاملMnk Kinases in Cytokine Signaling and Regulation of Cytokine Responses.
The kinases Mnk1 and Mnk2 are activated downstream of the p38 MAPK and MEK/ERK signaling pathways. Extensive work over the years has shown that these kinases control phosphorylation of the eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) and regulate engagement of other effector elements, including hnRNPA1 and PSF. Mnk kinases are ubiquitously expressed and play critical roles in signaling for various c...
