21-containing c.yclin kinases exist in oth acnve and lnacnve states

چکیده
In normal fibroblasts CDKs exist predominantly in p21/PCNA/cycl in/CDK quaternary complexes, whereas in p53-deficient cells, p21 expression is depressed and the kinases are reduced to a cyclin/CDK binary state, p21 is a universal cyclin kinase inhibitor, but we show here that p21-containing complexes exist in both catalytically active and inactive forms. This finding challenges the current view that active cyclin kinases function only in the binary state and reveals the subtlety with which tumor-suppressor proteins modulate the cell cycle.

Insulin resistant states are emerging rapidly and lots of efforts have gone into understanding their pathogenesis and major metabolic consequences. Hypertriglyceridemia, a major complication of this metabolic syndrome, seems to be caused by overproduction of lipoproteins (LPs) containing apo B that are rich in triglycerides. Some in vitro and in vivo models have been introduced so as to under...

Insulin resistance is a feature of most patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Epidemiological evidence suggests a correlation between inflammation and insulin resistant states such as obesity, but the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. Interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinases (IRAK) play a central role in inflammatory responses by regulating the expression of various inflammatory gen...

When an experience is encrypted into a long-lasting memory, it is believed that specific sets of neurons in the brain of the animal undergo changes including the strengthening of preexisting synapses and the growth and maintenance of new synaptic connections. These activity-dependent synaptic changes appear to require the coordination of a variety of cellular processes in spatially separated ce...

متن کاملCellular SRC kinases and dsRNA dependent protein kinase (PKR) play key role in intracellular viral (CVB3) replication
SRC kinases and PKR are intracellular protein kinases, which play key roles in intracellular viral replication. In this research, the effect of SRC kinase inhibition and PKR activation and inhibition on replication of coxsakievirus (CVB3), an entrovirus of the family picornaviridae – causative agents of fatal myocarditis, was studied. Vero and Hela cells were cultured and infected with CVB3 in ...
