Protein Kinase D as Novel Therapeutic Target for Neurological Disease
Protein kinase D (PKD) is a novel kinase whose catalytic domain resembles calcium calmodulin kinase and its regulatory domains resemble protein kinase C. We have discovered that (1) PKD is dually regulated by the NMDA and metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs). In turn, PKD regulates AMPAR recycling, especially the GluR2 subunit. (2) We have found that CNS-specific PKD1 deficient mice are vi...
متن کاملProtein kinase C as a therapeutic target.
The recognition of protein kinase C (PKC) as the long soughtafter receptor for the tumor-promoting phorbol esters established the potential role of PKC in carcinogenesis and as a potentially important target for cancer therapeutics (1, 2). PKC is a family of serine/threonine kinases that regulate a variety of cell functions including proliferation, gene expression, cell cycle, differentiation, ...
متن کاملMZF-1/Elk-1 interaction domain as therapeutic target for protein kinase Cα-based triple-negative breast cancer cells
Recent reports demonstrate that the expression of protein kinase C alpha (PKCα) in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) correlates with decreased survival outcomes. However, off-target effects of targeting PKCα and limited understanding of the signaling mechanisms upstream of PKCα have hampered previous efforts to manipulate this ubiquitous gene. This study shows that the expression of both mye...
متن کاملTargeting of Protein Kinase Cα to Caveolae
Previously, we showed caveolae contain a population of protein kinase Calpha (PKCalpha) that appears to regulate membrane invagination. We now report that multiple PKC isoenzymes are enriched in caveolae of unstimulated fibroblasts. To understand the mechanism of PKC targeting, we prepared caveolae lacking PKCalpha and measured the interaction of recombinant PKCalpha with these membranes. PKCal...
متن کاملProtein Kinase Cα (PKCα) Regulates Bone Architecture and Osteoblast Activity*
Bones' strength is achieved and maintained through adaptation to load bearing. The role of the protein kinase PKCα in this process has not been previously reported. However, we observed a phenotype in the long bones of Prkca(-/-) female but not male mice, in which bone tissue progressively invades the medullary cavity in the mid-diaphysis. This bone deposition progresses with age and is prevent...
