Abstract: Oncogenic RAS (Rat sarcoma) mutations drive more than half of human cancers, and RAS inhibition is the holy grail of oncology. Thirty years of relentless efforts and harsh disappointments have taught us about the intricacies of oncogenic RAS signalling that allow us to now get a pharma- cological grip on this elusive protein. The inhibition of effector pathways, such as the RAF-MEK-ERK pathway, has largely proven disappointing. Thus far, most of these efforts were aimed at blocking the activation of ERK. Here, we discuss RAF-dependent pathways that are regulated through RAF functions independent of catalytic activity and their potential role as targets to block oncogenic RAS signalling. We focus on the now well documented roles of RAF kinase-independent functions in apoptosis, cell cycle progression and cell migration.

  • Casein Kinase 1 Isoforms in Degenerative Disorders
    CASEIN KINASE 1 ISOFORMS IN DEGENERATIVE DISORDERS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Theresa Joseph Kannanayakal, M.Sc., M.S. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Jeff A. Kuret, Adviser Professor John D. Oberdick Professor Dale D. Vandre Adviser Professor Mike X. Zhu Biophysics Graduate Program ABSTRACT Casein Kinase 1 (CK1) enzyme is one of the largest family of Serine/Threonine protein kinases. CK1 has a wide distribution spanning many eukaryotic families. In cells, its kinase activity has been found in various sub-cellular compartments enabling it to phosphorylate many proteins involved in cellular maintenance and disease pathogenesis. Tau is one such substrate whose hyperphosphorylation results in degeneration of neurons in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). AD is a slow neuroprogessive disorder histopathologically characterized by Granulovacuolar degeneration bodies (GVBs) and intraneuronal accumulation of tau in Neurofibrillary Tangles (NFTs). The level of CK1 isoforms, CK1α, CK1δ and CK1ε has been shown to be elevated in AD. Previous studies of the correlation of CK1δ with lesions had demonstrated its importance in tau hyperphosphorylation. Hence we investigated distribution of CK1α and CK1ε with the lesions to understand if they would play role in tau hyperphosphorylation similar to CK1δ. The kinase results were also compared with lesion correlation studies of peptidyl cis/trans prolyl isomerase (Pin1) and caspase-3. Our results showed that among the enzymes investigated, CK1 isoforms have the greatest extent of colocalization with the lesions. We have also investigated the distribution of CK1α with different stages of NFTs that follow AD progression.

  • Genome-Wide Association Study to Identify Genomic Regions And
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Genome‑wide association study to identify genomic regions and positional candidate genes associated with male fertility in beef cattle H. Sweett1, P. A. S. Fonseca1, A. Suárez‑Vega1, A. Livernois1,2, F. Miglior1 & A. Cánovas1* Fertility plays a key role in the success of calf production, but there is evidence that reproductive efciency in beef cattle has decreased during the past half‑century worldwide. Therefore, identifying animals with superior fertility could signifcantly impact cow‑calf production efciency. The objective of this research was to identify candidate regions afecting bull fertility in beef cattle and positional candidate genes annotated within these regions. A GWAS using a weighted single‑step genomic BLUP approach was performed on 265 crossbred beef bulls to identify markers associated with scrotal circumference (SC) and sperm motility (SM). Eight windows containing 32 positional candidate genes and fve windows containing 28 positional candidate genes explained more than 1% of the genetic variance for SC and SM, respectively. These windows were selected to perform gene annotation, QTL enrichment, and functional analyses. Functional candidate gene prioritization analysis revealed 14 prioritized candidate genes for SC of which MAP3K1 and VIP were previously found to play roles in male fertility. A diferent set of 14 prioritized genes were identifed for SM and fve were previously identifed as regulators of male fertility (SOD2, TCP1, PACRG, SPEF2, PRLR). Signifcant enrichment results were identifed for fertility and body conformation QTLs within the candidate windows. Gene ontology enrichment analysis including biological processes, molecular functions, and cellular components revealed signifcant GO terms associated with male fertility.

  • Identification of PIM1 Substrates Reveals a Role for NDRG1
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-020-01528-6 OPEN Identification of PIM1 substrates reveals a role for NDRG1 phosphorylation in prostate cancer cellular migration and invasion Russell J. Ledet1,2,3,5, Sophie E. Ruff1,2,3,5, Yu Wang1,2, Shruti Nayak4, Jeffrey A. Schneider1,2,3, ✉ ✉ 1234567890():,; Beatrix Ueberheide1,4, Susan K. Logan1,2 & Michael J. Garabedian 2,3 PIM1 is a serine/threonine kinase that promotes and maintains prostate tumorigenesis. While PIM1 protein levels are elevated in prostate cancer relative to local disease, the mechanisms by which PIM1 contributes to oncogenesis have not been fully elucidated. Here, we performed a direct, unbiased chemical genetic screen to identify PIM1 substrates in prostate cancer cells. The PIM1 substrates we identified were involved in a variety of oncogenic processes, and included N-Myc Downstream-Regulated Gene 1 (NDRG1), which has reported roles in sup- pressing cancer cell invasion and metastasis. NDRG1 is phosphorylated by PIM1 at serine 330 (pS330), and the level of NDRG1 pS330 is associated higher grade prostate tumors. We have shown that PIM1 phosphorylation of NDRG1 at S330 reduced its stability, nuclear localization, and interaction with AR, resulting in enhanced cell migration and invasion. 1 Departments of Biochemistry and Molecular Pharmacology, New York University School of Medicine, New York, NY 10016, USA. 2 Department of Urology, New York University School of Medicine, New York, NY 10016, USA. 3 Department of Microbiology, New York University School of Medicine, New York, NY 10016, USA. 4 Proteomics Laboratory, New York University School of Medicine, New York, NY 10016, USA.

Out of the 534 proteins that may play a role in lung cancer, 71 proteins were selected that are likely to be actively involved in lung cancer. These proteins were evaluated by employing Multiple Sequence Alignment and a Phylogenetic tree was constructed using Neighbor-Joining Algorithm. From the constructed phylogenetic tree, protein kinase domain and motif study was performed. The results of this study revealed that the presence of Protein Kinase Domain and Tyrosine or Serine/Threonine Kinase signatures in some of the proteins are mutated, which play a dominant role in the pathogenesis of Lung Cancer and these may be addressed with the help of inhibitors to develop an efficient anticancer drugs.

    Biochem. J. (2003) 370, 361–371 (Printed in Great Britain) 361 REVIEW ARTICLE Regulation of the ABC kinases by phosphorylation: protein kinase C as a paradigm Alexandra C. NEWTON1 Department of Pharmacology, University of California at San Diego, La Jolla, CA 92093-0640, U.S.A. Phosphorylation plays a central role in regulating the activation down-regulation of PKC as a paradigm for how these sites and signalling lifetime of protein kinases A, B (also known as control the function of the ABC kinases. Akt) and C. These kinases share three conserved phosphorylation motifs: the activation loop segment, the turn motif and the Key words: phosphoinositide 3-kinase, phosphoinositide-depen- hydrophobic motif. This review focuses on how phosphorylation dent kinase-1 (PDK-1), phosphorylation motif, protein kinase A at each of these sites regulates the maturation, signalling and (PKA), protein kinase B (PKB)\Akt, protein kinase C (PKC). INTRODUCTION by phosphorylation as a paradigm for control of ABC kinase function by phosphorylation. Almost half a century ago Krebs, Graves and Fischer reported b that the first discovered protein kinase, phosphorylase kinase, ARCHITECTURE OF ABC KINASES was, itself, activated by phosphorylation [1]. Two decades later, Fischer and colleagues showed that the kinase that phosphory- Protein kinases A, B\Akt and C have in common a conserved lates phosphorylase kinase, later named protein kinase A (PKA), kinase core whose function is regulated allosterically by a was also phosphorylated [2]. Reversible control by phosphory- corresponding regulatory moiety (Figure 1). In the case of PKA, lation\dephosphorylation is now firmly established as a fun- the regulatory moiety is a separate polypeptide, whereas the damental mechanism for regulating the function of most of the regulatory determinants are on the same polypeptide as the 500 or so members of the mammalian protein kinase superfamily.
