Whereas protein kinases have been successfully targeted for a variety of diseases, protein phosphatases remain an underutilized therapeutic target, in part because of incomplete characterization of their effects on signaling networks. The pleckstrin homology domain leucine-rich repeat protein phosphatase (PHLPP) is a relatively new player in the ce...

PPARγ is a nuclear receptor protein that has a central role in promoting adipocyte growth and differentiation, as well as regulating serum glucose and triglyceride levels. Under normal physiological conditions, PPARγ is a target of several post-translational modifications (PTMs) that modulate its transcriptional activity. One particular PTM, phosph...

Influenza viruses continue evolving and have the ability to cause a global pandemic, so it is very important to elucidate its pathogenesis and find new treatment methods. In recent years, proteomics has made important contributions to describing the dynamic interaction between influenza viruses and their hosts, especially in posttranslational regul...

The nucleocapsid (N) protein of coronaviruses serves two major functions: compaction of the RNA genome in the virion and regulation of viral gene transcription. It is not clear how the N protein mediates such distinct functions. The N protein contains two RNA-binding domains surrounded by regions of intrinsic disorder. Phosphorylation of the centra...

The three members of the endocrine-fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family, FGF19, 21, and 23 are circulating hormones that regulate critical metabolic processes. FGF23 stimulates the assembly of a signaling complex composed of α-Klotho (KLA) and FGF receptor (FGFR) resulting in kinase activation, regulation of phosphate homeostasis, and vitamin D le...

The translational motion of polymers is a complex process and has a big impact on polymer structure and chemical reactivity. The process can be described by the segment velocity autocorrelation function or its diffusion spectrum, which exhibit several characteristic features depending on the observational time scale-from the Brownian delta function...

Mitochondrial morphology shifts rapidly to manage cellular metabolism, organelle integrity, and cell fate. It remains unknown whether innate nucleic acid sensing, the central and general mechanisms of monitoring both microbial invasion and cellular damage, can reprogram and govern mitochondrial dynamics and function. Here, we unexpectedly observed ...

Activation of protein kinase A by cyclic AMP results in a multi-fold upregulation of CaV1.2 currents in the heart, as originally reported in the 1970's and 1980's. Despite considerable interest and much investment, the molecular mechanisms responsible for this signature modulation remained stubbornly elusive for over 40 years. A key manifestation o...
