LKB1 Kinase: Master and Commander of Metabolism and Polarity
LKB1, the product of a tumour suppressor gene, is a serine/threonine kinase that coordinates disparate cellular processes. Recent data have revealed novel functions for LKB1, providing new insight into the regulation of cell polarity and energy-generating metabolism.
متن کاملLKB1: cancer, polarity, metabolism, and now fertility.
The LKB1 serine/threonine kinase is a tumour suppressor responsible for the inherited familial cancer disorder Peutz-Jeghers syndrome and is inactivated in a large percentage of human lung cancers. LKB1 acts a master kinase, directly phosphorylating and activating a family of 14 AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase)-related kinases which control cell metabolism, cell growth and cell polarity. In ...
متن کاملSuperoxide dismutase: master and commander?
I nhaled nitric oxide (NO) has long been known to be an effective pulmonary vasodilator in the normal pulmonary vasculature. In the classical NO signalling pathway, it activates soluble guanylate cyclase in the cytoplasm of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells, leading to the production of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), which then activates protein kinase G (PKG). PKG, acting through se...
متن کاملLKB1 and AMP-activated protein kinase: regulators of cell polarity
Adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a metabolic protein kinase, and its upstream kinase LKB1 play crucial roles in the establishment and maintenance of cell polarity. Although the shapes of polarized cells display extraordinary diversity, the key molecules involved in cell polarity are relatively well conserved. Here, we review the mechanisms and factors responsible for org...

چکیده پایان نامه (شامل خلاصه، اهداف، روش های اجرا و نتایج به دست آمده): کار جمع آوری گو یش های محلی در سال های اخیر شتاب امیدوار کننده ای به خود گرفته است. شاید از بارزترین اهداف جمع آوری گویش های مختلف، ثبت و ضبط آن، جلوگیری از نابودی و مهمتر از همه حل مشکلات دستوری زبان رسمی باشد. دقت در فرآیند های زبانی گویش های محلی نوع ارتباط مردم نواحی مختلف با پیرامون نشان را به ما نشان خواهد داد. از س...
