Polypeptide Modulators of Card-card-mediated Protein-protein Interactions

THE EFFECT OF THEOPHYLLINE ON THE KINETICS OF cAMP-DEPENDENT PROTEIN KINASE CATALYTIC SUBUNIT, cAMP, PROTEIN KINASE INHIBITOR AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP IN LUNG TISSUE

We have investigated the effect of theophylline on the kinetics of the catalytic subunit of protein kinase and related factors in lung tissue. The results show that the point of highest concentration of the C subunit of protein kinase which is active in casein phosphorylation is at 3h of incubation time, but in the presence of 100 Ilg/ InL and 10µg/mL theophylline, this is shifted to I.S an...

Inhibition of polo-like kinase 1 by blocking polo-box domain-dependent protein-protein interactions.

The serine/threonine kinase Polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) is overexpressed in many types of human cancers, and has been implicated as an adverse prognostic marker for cancer patients. Plk1 localizes to its intracellular anchoring sites via its polo-box domain (PBD). Here we show that Plk1 can be inhibited by small molecules which interfere with its intracellular localization by inhibiting the funct...

Gene Expression Profile of Calcium/Calmodulin-Dependent Protein Kinase IIα in the Rat Hippocampus during Morphine Withdrawal

Introduction: Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) is highly expressed in the hippocampus, which has a pivotal role in reward-related memories and morphine dependence. Methods: In the present study, morphine tolerance was induced in male Wistar rats by 7 days repeated morphine injections once daily, and then gene expression profile of α-isoform of CaMKII (CaMKIIα) in the hipp...
