Peptides and Protein Phosphorylation
This comprehensive volume focuses on the ways in which synthetic peptides have been exploited in order to expand our understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in protein phosphorylation. It recognizes that virtually all physiological processes are regulated by protein phosphorylation. It discusses the use of synthetic peptides in studying the catalytic mechanism and regulation of protein kinases. It also includes the chemical synthesis of phosphorylated peptides and preparation of specific antisera. This incredible work has lead to the development of a new generation of peptide inhibitors with potencies of greater magnitude than those previously known. Everyone involved with biochemistry and molecular biology will find this one-of-a-kind resource fascinating and filled with useful information.
Molecular Biology and Physiology of Water and Solute Transport
Biophysical studies in the 1950ies and 1960ies led to the realization that the water permeability of certain biological membranes must be due to the presence of water transporting proteins. This hypothesis was confirmed in 1991 and 1992 with the pioneering discovery of the first molecular membrane water channel, CHIP28, by Agre and coworkers. This integral membrane protein, which is abundant in the erythrocyte membrane and in many epithelial cells, is now called aquaporin-1 or AQP1. Thus the terms water channel or aquaporin are synonymous. In July 2000 more than 200 researchers came together in Gothenburg, Sweden, for the `3rd International Conference on the Molecular Biology and Physiology of Water and Solute Transport" to discuss progress in this emerging research field. 58 different presentations from this conference are the basis for this book. Cumulatively, these 58 short chapters provide a balanced overview complementing numerous recent reviews in this field.
Current Catalog
First multi-year cumulation covers six years: 1965-70.
Protein Phosphatases
Protein phosphatases are a group of enzymes responsible for the dephosphorylation of various proteins and enzymes in a cell. This role is an extremely important one since protein phosphorylation and dephosphorylation is required for the regulation of a large number of cellular activities. Classification of Protein Phosphatases Analysis/Technology: Cell and Molecular Imaging Technology, Assay of Protein Phosphatases, MS and MNR, Genomics/Proteomics, cDNA Microarray Analysis Cellular Regulation: Substrates, Inhibitors, Regulation, Protein-Protein Interaction Biological Function: Antisense Studies, Transgenic and Knockout Animal Models in Vivo, Therapeutic Approaches
Protein Kinase CK2 Cellular Function in Normal and Disease States
Protein kinase CK2 (formerly casein kinase II or 2) is known to play a critical role in the control of cell growth and cell death and is thus intimately involved in the development of cancer. More specifically, CK2 has been found to be elevated in all cancers examined. While CK2 levels are known to be high in proliferating normal cells, CK2 has also been found to be a potent suppressor of apoptosis and is a link to the cancer cell phenotype, which is characterized by deregulation of both cell proliferation and cell death. Indeed, it would appear that CK2 impacts many of the hallmarks of cancer and it has now gained considerable attention as a potential target for cancer therapy. Protein Kinase CK2 and Cellular Function in Normal and Disease States increases knowledge of the role of CK2 in the development of cellular dysfunction and emphasizes that this protein may serve as a target of drug development for improved cancer therapy. In addition, it is a handy tool that provides cancer researchers, graduate students, and all scientists involved in CK2 research with one main source for the latest advances in CK2 research.
Biochemistry of Cell Membranes
This book consists of a series of reviews on selected topics within the rapidly and vastly expanding field of membrane biology. Its aim is to highlight the most significant and important advances that have been made in recent years in understanding the structure, dynamics and functions of cell membranes. Areas covered in this monograph include: • Signal Transduction • Membrane Traffic: Protein and Lipids • Bioenergetics: Energy Transfer and Membrane Transport • Cellular Ion Homeostasis • Growth Factors and Adhesion Molecules • Structural Analysis of Membrane Proteins • Membranes and Disease. Biochemistry of Cell Membranes should serve as a benchmark for indicating the most important lines for future research in these areas.
Protein Phosphorylation
Reversible phosphorylation is one of the major mechanisms of controlling protein activity in all eukaryotic cells. This new edition of Protein Phosphorylation: A Practical Approach provides a comprehensive description of current methods used to study protein phosphorylation and the kinases and phosphatases which catalyse it. It includes protocols for studying phosphorylation in intact cells; analysis of signal transduction pathways, kinase specificity, and kinase interactions; assay and purification of kinases and phosphatases; and identification of substrates. Also covered are cloning and expression protocols and advice on the crystallization of kinases and phosphatases. Protein Phosphorylation: A Practical Approach 2e will therefore be of great value to any researcher investigating aspects of reversible protein phosphrylation.
53rd National Meeting of the Italian Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (SIB) and National Meeting of Chemistry of Biological Systems – Italian Chemical Society (SCI - Section CSB)
The 53rd National Congress of the Italian Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (SIB), which will be held in Riccione from 23 to 26 September, is characterised by the elevated scientific level and interdisciplinary interest of the numerous sessions in which it is organised. The Scientific Programme comprises three joint Symposia of the SIB and the Chemistry of Biological Systems section of the Italian Chemistry Society (SCI) on Molecular Systems Biology, Chemistry of Nucleic Acids, Protein and Drug Structure, and Environmental Biotechnology. These Symposia address groundbreaking arguments, making the joint interest of the two societies particularly fascinating; the joint organisation...
