Researchers at POSTECH and Korea Brain Research Institute unveil NeuO's mechanism of selective neuron staining through PAK6 kinase phosphorylation. This breakthrough opens path for precise tracking and study of living neurons in brain.
A study reveals that protein kinase A promotes wakefulness, while protein phosphatase 1 and calcineurin promote sleep in mammals. The balance between sleep and wakefulness is regulated by multiple enzymes, including PKA, PP1, and calcineurin.
Researchers have discovered that ion and lipid transporters have evolved distinct structural features to optimize the transport of their respective substrates. Crystal structures reveal a pump primed for dephosphorylation in Ca2+-ATPase, while a novel mechanism is uncovered in P4-ATPases, enabling efficient lipid flippase activity.
Researchers discovered pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase as a key player in the dephosphorylation of MAD, a Drosophila Smad protein. This finding offers new insights into how BMP signals can be downregulated in various physiological contexts.
