Abstract The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), a protein kinase with homology to lipid kinases, orchestrates cellular responses to growth and stress signals. Various extracellular and intracellular inputs to mTOR are known. mTOR processes these inputs as part of two mTOR protein com- plexes, mTORC1 or mTORC2. Surprisingly, despite the many cellular functions that are linked to mTOR, there are very few direct mTOR substrates identified to date.

  • 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.

  • A Calcium- and Calmodulin-Dependent Kinase I␣/ Microtubule Affinity Regulating Kinase 2 Signaling Cascade Mediates Calcium-Dependent Neurite Outgrowth
    The Journal of Neuroscience, April 18, 2007 • 27(16):4413–4423 • 4413 Cellular/Molecular A Calcium- and Calmodulin-Dependent Kinase I␣/ Microtubule Affinity Regulating Kinase 2 Signaling Cascade Mediates Calcium-Dependent Neurite Outgrowth Nataliya V. Uboha,1 Marc Flajolet,2 Angus C. Nairn,1,2 and Marina R. Picciotto1 1Department of Psychiatry, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut 06508, and 2Laboratory of Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience, The Rockefeller University, New York, New York 10021 Calcium is a critical regulator of neuronal differentiation and neurite outgrowth during development, as well as synaptic plasticity in adulthood. Calcium- and calmodulin-dependent kinase I (CaMKI) can regulate neurite outgrowth; however, the signal transduction cascades that lead to its physiological effects have not yet been elucidated. CaMKI␣ was therefore used as bait in a yeast two-hybrid assay and microtubule affinity regulating kinase 2 (MARK2)/Par-1b was identified as an interacting partner of CaMKI in three independent screens. The interaction between CaMKI and MARK2 was confirmed in vitro and in vivo by coimmunoprecipitation. CaMKI binds MARK2 within its kinase domain, but only if it is activated by calcium and calmodulin. Expression of CaMKI and MARK2 in Neuro-2A (N2a) cells and in primary hippocampal neurons promotes neurite outgrowth, an effect dependent on the catalytic activities of these enzymes. In addition, decreasing MARK2 activity blocks the ability of the calcium ionophore ionomycin to promote neurite outgrowth. Finally, CaMKI phosphorylates MARK2 on novel sites within its kinase domain. Mutation of these phosphorylation sites decreases both MARK2 kinase activity and its ability to promote neurite outgrowth.

CK1 members, which commonly exist in all eukaryotes, are involved in the regulation of many cellular processes linked to cell cycle progression, spindle- dynamics, and chromosome segregation. Additionally, CK1 regulate key signaling pathways such as Wnt (Wingless/ Int-1), Hh (Hedgehog), and Hippo, known to be critically involved in tumor progression. Considering the importance of CK1 for accurate cell division and regulation of tumor suppressor functions, it is not surprising scientific effort has enormously increased. In mammals, CK1 regulate the transition from interphase to metaphase in mitosis. In budding yeast and fission yeast, CK1 phosphorylate Rec8 subunits of cohesin complex and regulate chromosome segregation in meiosis. During meiosis, two rounds of chromosome segregation after a single round of DNA replication produce haploid gametes from diploid precursors. Any mistake in chromosome segregation may result in aneuploidy, which in meiosis are one of the main causes of infertility, abortion and many genetic diseases in humans.

Scheffler, and * David E.

Calcium-regulated calmodulin dependent kinase kinase (CaMKK) has recently been identified as upstream regulator of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which is energy regulator in skeletal muscle. Although there is evidence that cytosolic calcium regulates AMPK through a series of pathways, the molecular mechanisms by which calcium regulates AMPK are poorly understood. The objective of this study is to understand the function of calcium oscillations on AMPK activity and define the specific calcium-regulated signaling molecules in this pathway. AMPK activity was increased by 2 folds in muscles from mice treated with AICAR (known AMPK activator). Administration of caffeine (calcium releasing agent) for 10 d decreased AICAR-induced AMPK activity to control level. This repressed AMPK activity was blocked by dantrolene, a ryanodine receptor stabilizer. Different calcium frequencies were simulated in C2C12 myotubes by alternating media containing caffeine and dantrolene. Changes in intracellular calcium levels were confirmed by fluorescent calcium indicator, Fura2. To define the function of calcium signaling, CaMKK or CaMK was knocked down. Low frequency calcium stimulations had a positive effect on AICAR-induced AMPK activity, whereas continuous high calcium level decreases AMPK activity suggesting a biphasic control of AMPK activity by calcium.

    Seo et al. Experimental & Molecular Medicine (2021) 53:1007–1017 https://doi.org/10.1038/s12276-021-00634-7 Experimental & Molecular Medicine REVIEW ARTICLE Open Access Necroptosis molecular mechanisms: Recent findings regarding novel necroptosis regulators Jinho Seo1,YoungWooNam2, Seongmi Kim2,Doo-ByoungOh1,3 and Jaewhan Song 2 Abstract Necroptosis is a form of programmed necrosis that is mediated by various cytokines and pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). Cells dying by necroptosis show necrotic phenotypes, including swelling and membrane rupture, and release damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), inflammatory cytokines, and chemokines, thereby mediating extreme inflammatory responses. Studies on gene knockout or necroptosis-specific inhibitor treatment in animal models have provided extensive evidence regarding the important roles of necroptosis in inflammatory diseases. The necroptosis signaling pathway is primarily modulated by activation of receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3), which phosphorylates mixed-lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL), mediating MLKL oligomerization. In the necroptosis process, these proteins are fine-tuned by posttranslational regulation via phosphorylation, ubiquitination, glycosylation, and protein–protein interactions. Herein, we review recent findings on the molecular regulatory mechanisms of necroptosis.

These malignant osteoid forming tumors are characterized by their uncontrolled hyperproliferation. Here, we investigate the role of Ca2 þ / calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) in the growth of human osteosarcoma. We show that a-CaMKII is expressed in human osteosarcoma cell lines and in primary osteosarcoma tissue derived from patients. The pharmaco- logic inhibition of CaMKII in MG-63 and 143B human osteosarcoma cells by KN-93 resulted in an 80 and 70% decrease in proliferation, respectively, and induced cell cycle arrest in the G0/G1 phase. The in vivo administration of KN-93 to mice xenografted with human osteosarcoma cells significantly decreased intratibial and subcutaneous tumor growth. Mechanistically, KN-93 and a-CaMKII siRNA increased p21(CIP/KIP) gene expression, protein levels, and decreased the phosphorylation of retinoblastoma protein and E2F transactivation. Furthermore, the inhibition of CaMKII decreased membrane-bound Tiam1 and GTP-bound Rac1, which are known to be involved in p21 expression and tumor growth in a variety of solid malignant neoplasms. Our results suggest that CaMKII plays a critical role in the growth of osteosarcoma, and its inhibition could be an attractive therapeutic target to combat conventional high-grade osteosarcoma in children.
