Pseudokinase drug intervention: a potentially poisoned chalice.

چکیده

Pseudokinases, the catalytically impaired component of the kinome, have recently been found to share more properties with active kinases than previously thought. In many pseudokinases, ATP binding and even some activity is preserved, highlighting these proteins as potential drug targets. In both active kinases and pseudokinases, binding of ATP or drugs in the nucleotide-binding pocket can stabilize specific conformations required for activity and protein-protein interactions. We discuss the implications of locking particular conformations in a selection of (pseudo)kinases and the dual potential impact on the druggability of these proteins.

The dark side of trust: When trust becomes a ‘poisoned chalice’

Trust is typically portrayed as beneficial to all concerned; something which is inherently good. In this article we focus on interpersonal trust and argue that, while there are undoubted benefits, trust can also be problematic; there are circumstances in which it can become a ‘poisoned chalice’ for one or other of the parties involved. We question whether the potential for negative experiences ...

Application of the CHALICE clinical prediction rule for intracranial injury in children outside the UK: impact on head CT rate.

OBJECTIVE The children's head injury algorithm for the prediction of important clinical events (CHALICE) is one of the strongest clinical prediction rules for the management of children with head injuries. The authors set out to determine the impact of this rule on the proportion of head injured patients receiving a CT scan in a major Australian paediatric emergency department. DESIGN Retrosp...

Mechanistic Insights into Regulation of JAK2 Tyrosine Kinase

JAK2 is a member of the Janus kinase (JAKs) family of non-receptor protein tyrosine kinases, which includes JAK1-3 and TYK2. JAKs serve as the cytoplasmic signaling components of cytokine receptors and are activated through cytokine-mediated trans-phosphorylation, which leads to receptor phosphorylation and recruitment and phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription (STA...
