...Masaki Kinoshita; Takumi Era; Lars Martin Jakt; Shin-Ichi Nishikawa From a list of protein kinases (PKs) that are newly induced upon differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells to mesendoderm, we identified a previously uncharacterized kinase, Vlk (vertebrate lonesome kinase),that is well...

... homologous AGC protein kinases, which we designated the D6 protein kinases (D6PKs). We found that d6pk mutants have defects in lateral root initiation, root gravitropism, and shoot differentiation in axillary shoots, and that these phenotypes correlate with a reduction in auxin transport. Interestingly, D6PK...

... we show that the PINOID gene is inducible by auxin and that the protein kinase is present in the primordia of cotyledons, leaves and floral organs and in vascular tissue in developing organs or proximal to meristems. Overexpression of PINOID under the control of the constitutive CaMV 35S promoter...

... of mammary gland development. This suggests that developmental regulatory molecules whose activity is influenced by ovarian hormones may also contribute to mammary carcinogenesis. In a screen designed to identify protein kinases expressed in the mammary gland, we previously identified a novel SNF1-related...

...Gad Shaulsky; Danny Fuller; William F. Loomis ABSTRACT A cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase was found that is stimulated by binding to the regulatory subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, PKA-R, from either Dictyostelium or mammals. The phosphodiesterase is encoded by the regA gene...

...Neil A. Hopper; Christophe Anjard; Christophe D. Reymond; Jeffrey G. Williams ABSTRACT Expression of the catalytic (C) subunit of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) of Dictyostelium under the control of heterologous, cell-type-specific promoters causes ectopic terminal differentiation. When...

...Christophe Anjard; Stephane Pinaud; Robert R. Kay; Christophe D. Reymond ABSTRACT The Dd PK2 gene codes for a putative protein of 648 amino acids with a C-terminal half sharing high homology with protein kinase A catalytic subunits from other organisms. In order to find out more about...
