Consequently, a tightly regulated protein system is required to ensure adequate intracellular levels. In recent decades, several studies have explored the role of Cu+-ATPases in copper transport and homeostasis, revealing that these proteins are subject to kinase-mediated phosphorylation that significantly impacts their function. Techniques such as phosphoproteomic screening, site-directed mutagenesis, and artificial neural network tools demonstrated the regulatory effect of phosphorylation on these ATPases. Different protein kinases regulate Cu+-ATPases, modulating the active copper transport by affecting specific steps of the catalytic cycle, long-range intramolecular crosstalks, protein trafficking, gene expression, and protein stability. Therefore, the regulatory phosphorylation of Cu+-ATPases by kinases ultimately influences the intracellular copper distribution. This study aims to present a review of the scientific literature on the regulation of Cu+-ATPases by kinase-mediated phosphorylation as a crucial mechanism for copper homeostasis. This regulation offers new perspectives for developing therapies for disorders related to copper metabolism, such as Wilson and Menkes diseases, as well as cancer, diabetes mellitus, Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s diseases. These findings emphasize the need to further comprehend the signaling pathways involving protein kinases in the context of copper regulation.","PeriodicalId":74042,"journal":{"name":"Kinases and phosphatases","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141805455","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All blots showed a Phos-tag pattern indicating increased phosphorylation in the presence of one or both phosphatase inhibitors. The increase in phosphorylation stoichiometry per protein tends to be greater for Ser/Thr phosphatase inhibition than for Tyr phosphatase inhibition. This is consistent with the fact that the number of Ser/Thr kinase genes in the human genome is greater than that of Tyr kinases and with the fact that the phospho-Ser/phospho-Thr ratio in the actual human phosphoproteome is far greater than that of phospho-Tyr ratio. This suggests that cellular proteins are routinely and randomly phosphorylated by different kinases with no biological significance, simply depending on the frequency of substrate encounters. Phosphatase is responsible for routinely removing these unwanted phosphate groups systematically and maintaining the dynamic equilibrium of physiological protein phosphorylation. Phos-tag SDS-PAGE visualized that the kinase reaction involves many incidental phosphorylation and that phosphatases play broader roles besides being strict counterparts to kinases.","PeriodicalId":74042,"journal":{"name":"Kinases and phosphatases","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141821889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A member of serine and threonine kinases, adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), could play essential roles in the autophagy and/or mitophagy. AMPK is widely distributed in various cells, which might play diverse regulatory roles in different tissues and/or organs. In fact, changes in the kinase function of AMPK due to alteration of activity have been linked with diverse pathologies including cardiac disorders. AMPK can regulate mitochondrial biogenesis via peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC1α) signaling and also improve oxidative mitochondrial metabolism through inhibition of mechanistic/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway, which may also modulate the autophagy/mitophagy through autophagy activating kinase 1 (ULK1) and/or transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) signaling. Therefore, the modulation of AMPK in autophagy/mitophagy pathway might probably be thought as a therapeutic tactic for several cardiac disorders. As kinases are amongst the most controllable proteins, in general, the design of small molecules targeting kinases might be an eye-catching avenue to modulate cardiac function. Some analyses of the molecular biology underlying mitophagy suggest that nutraceuticals and/or drugs including specific AMPK modulator as well as physical exercise and/or dietary restriction that could modulate AMPK may be useful against several heart diseases. These observations may virtually be limited to preclinical studies. Come to think of these, however, it is speculated that some nutraceutical regimens might have positive potential for managing some of cardiac disorders.","PeriodicalId":74042,"journal":{"name":"Kinases and phosphatases","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141105426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their abilities to self-renew and maintain stem-like properties make treatment difficult, as their heterogeneity and metastatic properties can lead to resistance and limit the effectiveness of standard therapies. Given their significance, CSCs are typically isolated based on combinations of markers, which often indicate heterogeneous populations of CSCs. The lack of consensus in cell characterization poses challenges in defining and targeting these cells for effective therapeutic interventions. In this review, we suggest five promising molecules—ABCB5, CD26, CD66c, uPAR, and Trop-2—chosen specifically for their distinct distribution within cancer types and clinical relevance. These markers, expressed at the cell surface of CSCs, could significantly enhance the specificity of cancer stemness characterization. This review focuses on describing their pivotal roles as biomarker checkpoints for metastasis. Additionally, this review outlines existing literature on glycosylation modifications, which present intriguing epitopes aimed at modulating the stability and function of these markers. Finally, we summarize several promising in vivo and clinical trial approaches targeting the mentioned surface markers, offering potential solutions to overcome the therapeutic resistance of CSCs and addressing current gaps in treatment strategies.","PeriodicalId":74042,"journal":{"name":"Kinases and phosphatases","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140676263","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our previous studies found that SCFAs induced autophagy in colon cancer cells via downregulating mTOR signaling, but the mechanism involved in mTOR suppression still needs to be defined. In this study, we identified rhabdomyosarcoma 2 associated transcript (RMST), a long non-coding RNA, as a key mediator for SCFAs to suppress mTOR activation in colon cancer cells. RMST could be significantly induced by SCFAs in a time- and dose-dependent manner. RMST, by itself, was sufficient to suppress mTOR signaling and augment autophagosome formation. Depletion of RMST, through siRNA or CRISPR knockdown, reduced the abilities of SCFAs to suppress mTOR activation or to induce autophagic responses. RMST increased the expression level of TSC2, a negative regulator of the mTOR signaling pathway. Our data delineate a novel RMST/TSC2 cellular pathway, enlisted by SCFAs, to modulate mTOR activities in colon cancer cells.","PeriodicalId":74042,"journal":{"name":"Kinases and phosphatases","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140771714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It catalyzes covalent cross-linking of countless proteins and provides strength to the extracellular matrix and resistance to proteolytic degradation via different pathways, including NF-kβ, TGF-β and PI3K/Akt as the major signaling pathways. The etiology of diabetes and associated diseases has been found to be linked to unbalanced TG2 activity that may not only result in impaired or delayed wound healing in diabetics but also worsen degenerative and metabolic disease conditions. TG2 is usually overexpressed in diabetes, fibrosis, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders. These TG2-linked diseases are usually associated with prolonged activation of inflammatory pathways. Therefore, reducing the inflammatory mechanisms and improving tissue remodeling appear to be the main treatment strategies to exterminate TG2-linked diseases. The present review aims to deliver a detailed overview of the existing understanding of TG2 in diabetes and associated diseases’ progression, as well as treatment strategies to regulate TG2 tightly and its potential clinical applications. Our research endorses the notion that TG2 can serve as an effective early-stage diagnostic biomarker for metabolic diseases and a therapeutic target for the development of potential drug.","PeriodicalId":74042,"journal":{"name":"Kinases and phosphatases","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140445230","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, molecular mechanisms driving Ni and V neurotoxicity are still being elucidated. The p38- and ERKs-MAPK pathways, which are mostly known for their involvement in human immune and inflammatory signalling, have been shown to influence an array of neurodevelopmental processes. In the present study, we attempt to elucidate the role of p38- and ERK-MAPK in neurotoxicity after early life exposures to Ni and V using the Caenorhabditis elegans model. Synchronized larvae stage-1 (L1) worms were treated with varying concentrations of Ni and V singly or in combination for 1 h. Our results show Ni induces lethality in C. elegans even at very low concentrations, while much higher V concentrations are required to induce lethality. Furthermore, we identified that loss-of-function of pmk-1 and pmk-3, which are both homologous to human p38-α (MAPK14), is differentially affected by Ni and V exposures. Also, all exposure scenarios triggered significant developmental delays in both wild-type and mutant strains. We also see increased mitochondrial-derived reactive oxygen species following Ni and V exposures in wild-type worms with differential responses in the mutant strains. Additionally, we observed alterations in dopamine and serotonin levels after metal exposures, particularly in the pmk-1 strain. In conclusion, both Ni and V induce lethality, developmental delays, and mitochondrial-derived ROS in worms, with V requiring a much higher concentration. Further, the results suggest the p38- and ERK-MAPK signalling pathways may modulate Ni and V neurodevelopmental toxicity, potentially affecting mitochondrial health, metal bioavailability, and neurotransmitter levels.","PeriodicalId":74042,"journal":{"name":"Kinases and phosphatases","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139386165","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
