Scaffolding Proteins: Not Such Innocent Bystanders
Sequential transfer of information from one enzyme to the next within the confines of a protein kinase scaffold enhances signal transduction. Though frequently considered to be inert organizational elements, two recent reports implicate kinase-scaffolding proteins as active participants in signal relay.
متن کاملCell Regulation: Innocent bystanders or chosen collaborators?
Cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases turn out to hve diverse functions, not all directly concerned with the cell cycle; do they provide a link between cell-cycle control and other cellular processes?
متن کاملMitochondria in cancer: not just innocent bystanders.
The first half of the 20th century produced substantial breakthroughs in bioenergetics and mitochondria research. During that time, Otto Warburg observed abnormally high glycolysis and lactate production in oxygenated cancer cells, leading him to suggest that defects in mitochondrial functions are at the heart of malignant cell transformation. Warburg's hypothesis profoundly influenced the pres...
متن کاملPro-inflammatory cytokines and leukocyte oxidative burst in chronic kidney disease: culprits or innocent bystanders?
BACKGROUND Pro-inflammatory cytokines are elevated in chronic kidney disease (CKD), a condition characterized by microinflammation with oxidative stress as key feature. However, their role in the inflammatory response at uraemic concentrations has not yet been defined. In this study, the contribution of cytokines on induction of leukocyte oxidative stress was investigated. METHODS Whole blood...
متن کاملAlveolar Epithelial Cells in Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection: Active Players or Innocent Bystanders?
Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease that kills one person every 18 s. TB remains a global threat due to the emergence of drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) strains and the lack of an efficient vaccine. The ability of M.tb to persist in latency, evade recognition following seroconversion, and establish resistance in vulnerable populations warrants closer examination. Past and current re...
