Autophagy requires diverse membrane sources and involves membrane trafficking of mATG9, the only membrane protein in the ATG family. However, the molecular regulation of mATG9 trafficking for autophagy initiation rema...
Upon interaction of the CD95 receptor with its ligand, sequential association of the adaptor molecule FADD (MORT1), pro-forms of caspases-8/10, and the caspase-8/10 regulator c-FLIP leads to the formation of a death...

F-box and WD repeat domain-containing 7 (FBW7) is the substrate recognition component of the Skpl-Cull-F- box (SCF) ubiquitin ligase complex and functions as a major tumor suppressor by targeting various oncoprote...
Phosphatidylinositoi monophosphate 5-kinase (PIP5K) catalyzes the synthesis of PI-4,5-bispbosphate (Ptdlns(4,5) P2) by phosphorylation of PI-4-phosphate at the 5 position of the inositol ring, and is involved in...
Serum inducible kinase (SNK), also known as polo-like kinase 2 (PLK2), is a known regulator of mitosis, synapto- genesis and synaptic homeostasis. However, its role in early cortical development is unknown. Herein...
Embryonic signaling pathways often lead to a switch from default repression to transcriptional activation of target genes. A major consequence of Wnt signaling is stabilization of β-catenin, which associates with T-c...
The IkB kinase (IKK) complex plays a well-documented role in innate and adaptive immunity. This function has been widely attributed to its role as the central activator of the NF-kB family of transcription factors. ...
Mixed lineage kinase 3 (MLK3) is a mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase that is activated by tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and specifically activates c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) on TNF-a stimulat...
