This protein is localized to the mitochondrial matrix. Adenylate kinases regulate the adenine and guanine nucleotide compositions within a cell by catalyzing the reversible transfer of phosphate group among these nucleotides. Inherited mutations leading to AK4 deficiencies in erythrocytes have been implicated in hemolytic anemia.

Screen for Kinases Affecting Amyloidogenic Cleavage by BACE1
Screen for kinases affecting amyloidogenic cleavage by BACE1 Dissertation zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Doktors der Naturwissenschaften (Dr. rer. nat.) an der Universität Konstanz Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Sektion Fachbereich Biologie vorgelegt von Stephan Penzkofer Konstanz, Juli 2011 Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 24.10.2011 1. Referent: Professor Dr. Marcel Leist 2. Referent: Professor Dr. Daniel Dietrich Summary: The Amyloid β peptide (Aβ) is suspected to be a causal agent for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Therefore a screen for kinases downregulating the initial step of its production, the cleavage of the Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) by Beta-site of APP Cleaving Enzyme 1 (BACE1), was conducted in this study. Briefly, HEK293 cells were colipofected with one of in total 1357 siRNAs against 60% of the human kinome and either an APP construct with only the β-cleavage site left or normally cleavable APP as control. Remaining β-cleavage was for logistic reasons firstly measured with an activity-test for secreted alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) fused to both types of APP and subjected to Aβ-ELISA when interesting. Before the screen, the APP-constructs were characterized in the cell types HEK293 and CGCs with regards to cleavage, especially by BACE1. The screen resulted in 38 hits of which one, Testis Specific Serine Kinase 3, was confirmed once more. In a second, bioinformatic project, an initially suspected APLP-like pseudogenic-like sequence in C3orf52 was refuted. Further, analysis of C3orf52 gene expression data hints on a role in myeloid leukemia. Lastly, the phylogenetic relationship of the APP family paralogs was examined, also in comparison to neighboring gene families, and found in the topology (APLP1)(APLP2/APP).

Molecular Stratification and Characterization of Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma Angela Rose Brannon A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Curriculum in Genetics and Molecular Biology. Chapel Hill 2010 Approved by: W. Kimryn Rathmell, MD, PhD Adrienne Cox, PhD William Kim, MD Charles Perou, PhD Kristy Richards, MD, PhD ©2010 Angela Rose Brannon ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT ANGELA ROSE BRANNON: Molecular Stratification and Characterization of Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (Under the direction of W. Kimryn Rathmell, MD, PhD) It is estimated that there will be 58,240 new diagnoses of kidney cancer in 2010. Most cases will be clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and have little information as to how their disease will progress. This diversity of disease natural history is especially noteworthy in a disease so well characterized by the inactivation of the von Hippel Lindau (VHL) tumor suppressor and resulting stabilization of Hypoxia Inducible Factors (HIF). Previous studies had suggested the presence of two or more clusters in ccRCC. Based on the nonuniformity within the disease’s natural progression and previous research, we hypothesized that distinct inherent molecular subclasses of ccRCC must exist and, therefore, sought to define and characterize them. In fact, two robust subtypes of ccRCC were identified, designated ccA and ccB. These subtypes are associated with survival by multivariate analysis, conferring a median survival of 8.6 years versus 2 years, respectively. We postulated that the underlying molecular pathways within the data would explain the survival difference.
