Unravelling the activation mechanisms of protein kinase B/Akt

Mechanisms of mitogen-activated protein kinase activation in experimental diabetes.

Various growth factors and vasoactive substances are implicated in the pathogenesis of renal growth seen in early diabetes mellitus (DM). Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) is an important mediator of these extracellular stimuli. Protein kinase C (PKC), an enzyme known to be stimulated in DM, also activates MAPK. Thus, MAPK activity was examined in glomeruli from streptozotocin-induced DM ...

Distinctive activation mechanisms and functions for protein kinase Cdelta.

PKCdelta (protein kinase Cdelta) is a serine/threonine kinase that plays a key role in growth regulation and tissue remodelling. Traditional models of PKC activation have focused on lipid cofactors and anchoring proteins that localize the active conformation of PKCdelta to membranes, in close proximity with its target substrates. However, recent studies identify a distinct mode for PKCdelta act...

THE EFFECT OF THEOPHYLLINE ON THE KINETICS OF cAMP-DEPENDENT PROTEIN KINASE CATALYTIC SUBUNIT, cAMP, PROTEIN KINASE INHIBITOR AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP IN LUNG TISSUE

We have investigated the effect of theophylline on the kinetics of the catalytic subunit of protein kinase and related factors in lung tissue. The results show that the point of highest concentration of the C subunit of protein kinase which is active in casein phosphorylation is at 3h of incubation time, but in the presence of 100 Ilg/ InL and 10µg/mL theophylline, this is shifted to I.S an...
