Protein Kinases and Phosphatases02:54

Protein Kinases and Phosphatases

13.3K
Proteins undergo chemical modifications that trigger changes in the charge, structure, and conformation of the proteins. Phosphorylation, acetylation, glycosylation, nitrosylation, ubiquitination, lipidation, methylation, and proteolysis are various protein modifications that regulate protein activity. Such modifications are usually enzyme-driven.
Protein kinases
Many proteins in the cell are regulated by phosphorylation, the addition of a phosphate group. A family of enzymes called kinases...

Capillary Electrophoresis: Applications

488
Capillary electrophoretic separations offer various modes, each with unique applications. These modes include capillary zone electrophoresis, capillary gel electrophoresis, capillary array electrophoresis, capillary isoelectric focusing, capillary isotachophoresis, micellar electrokinetic chromatography, and capillary electrochromatography.
Capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) separates ionic components based on their electrophoretic mobility. It has been used to separate proteins, amino acids,...

PI3K/mTOR/AKT Signaling Pathway01:22

PI3K/mTOR/AKT Signaling Pathway

3.8K
The mammalian target of rapamycin  (mTOR) is a serine/threonine kinase that regulates growth, proliferation, and cell survival in response to hormones, growth factors, or nutrient availability. This kinase exists in two structurally and functionally distinct forms: mTOR complex 1  (mTORC1) and mTOR complex 2  (mTORC2). The first form (mTORC1) is composed of a rapamycin-sensitive Raptor and proline-rich Akt substrate, PRAS40. In contrast,  mTORC2 consists of a...

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Cell Biology
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Biochemical signaling relies on precise spatiotemporal regulation.
  • The mechanisms underlying cellular order in signaling pathways remain incompletely understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the role of liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) in orchestrating kinase signaling.
  • To explore how LLPS regulates kinase activity, compartmentalizes substrates, and potentially drives aberrant kinase activation.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and synthesis of existing research on LLPS and kinase signaling.
  • Analysis of proposed mechanisms by which LLPS influences kinase function.

Main Results:

  • LLPS creates condensate structures that are sensed by kinases.
  • Direct LLPS of kinases, cofactors, and substrates compartmentalizes kinase-substrate relationships.
  • LLPS can sequester kinases from inhibitory factors.
  • Genomic rearrangements may fuse pro-growth kinases with LLPS-prone sequences, leading to aberrant activation.

Conclusions:

  • LLPS is a critical mechanism for spatiotemporal regulation of kinase signaling.
  • Dysregulation of LLPS can contribute to disease pathogenesis, including cancer.
  • Further research into LLPS in signaling pathways is warranted.
