14-3-3 proteins regulate many cellular processes relevant to cancer biology, notably apoptosis, mitogenic signaling and cell-cycle checkpoints. Seven...
14-3-3 eta (YWHAH) belongs to the 14-3-3 family of proteins which mediate signal transduction by binding to phosphoserine or phosphothreonine-containing...
Activation of NFkB requires that IkB be phosphorylated on specific serine residues, which results in targeted degradation of IkB. IkB kinase (alpha)...
Protein kinases comprise a large group of encoded factors that regulate cellular processes by catalyzing the transfer of a phosphate group to a hydroxyl...
RNA polymerase (pol) III synthesizes tRNA, 5s rRNA, 7SL RNA and U6 snRNA and is overexpressed in many transformed cell lines and tumors in vivo, since cells...
The major pathway for the biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine occurs via the CDP-choline pathway. Choline kinase, the initial enzyme in the sequence, plays a...
The Dbf4/Cdc7 protein kinase is essential for the activation of replication origins during S phase. Cdc7-Dbf4 efficiently phosphorylates several proteins...
CRSP is ubiquitously expressed in various tissues and functions as a multimeric complex that consists of nine distinct subunits, each having an individual...
Casein kinase I (also designated CKI) and casein kinase II (also designated CKII) compose a family of serine/ threonine protein kinases which are present in...
AhR, ARNT1, ARNT2 and BMAL1 are members of a family of transcription factors that contain a basic helix-loop-helix motif and a common
Semaphorins are a family of cell surface and secreted proteins that are conserved from insects to humans. Members of this family of proteins are...
Human DEC1 is a 412 amino acid, basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) containing protein that is involved in the control of proliferation and/or differentiation of...
The transport of proteins across the nuclear envelope is a selective, multi-step process involving several cytoplasmic factors. Proteins must be recognized...
Mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases are a large class of proteins involved in signal transduction pathways that are activated by a range of stimuli and...
It is now well accepted that the transformation of a normal cell to one that is malignant can result from mutations in genes that encode proteins with key...
The HES family members form a complex with TLE, the mammalian homologue of Groucho, and this interaction is mediated by the carboxy terminal WRPW motif of...
Serum response factor (SRF) is a transcription factor that binds the serum response element (SRE), a sequence that mediates the transient response of many...
Genes belonging to the Jun and Fos oncogene families encode nuclear proteins that are found to be associated with a number of transcriptional complexes. The...
CUG-BP1 and CUG-BP2 are proteins that bind specifically to (CUG)8 oligonucleotides in vitro. While CUG-BP1 has the major binding activity in normal cells,...
Dual specificity phosphatases (DSPs) are a subclass of the protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) gene superfamily, which are selective for dephosphorylating...
