Protein kinases are the molecular switches of the cell. They control growth, division, communication, and survival by attaching phosphate groups to other proteins. When these switches are stuck in the ...

Structurally, they look similar: MNK1 and MNK2 belong to the same enzyme family and are best known for regulating how cells make proteins. Their starring role in such a crucial cellular function has ...
In the human body, molecules known as kinases propagate signals within and between cells, relaying signals that allow cells to respond to changes in the environment. But there are hundreds of ...
The researchers then expressed the FIKK kinases in bacteria to see what each one does. This experiment showed that the FIKK kinases all had different protein targets in the cell. To their surprise, ...

Cornell researchers have developed a powerful new biosensor that reveals, in unprecedented detail, how and where kinases—enzymes that control nearly all cellular processes—turn on and off inside ...
The three-dimensional shape of a protein can be used to resolve deep, ancient evolutionary relationships in the tree of life, according to a new study. It is the first time researchers use data from ...
Researchers have shown that the evolution of a family of exported proteins in the malaria-causing parasite Plasmodium falciparum enabled it to infect humans. Researchers from the Francis Crick ...
