Abstract

MAP/Microtubule affinity-regulating kinase 4 (MARK4), a Ser/Thr protein kinases, is related to the Par-1 (partitioning-defective) gene products, and is the human ortholog of Par-1. MARK4 shows its role in the cell polarity at the time of embryonic development. It is mostly located at the basal region of cells, providing apico-basal polarity. Here, we made two variants of human Par-1d (MARK4), kinase domain (MARK4-F2), and kinase domain along with 59 N-terminal residues (MARK4-F1) and saw their ATPase hydrolysis in the presence of each other. We observed that the activity of one variant was increased in the presence of other. We also demonstrated that both variants were phosphorylated by atypical PKC and their activities were increased in the presence of increasing concentration of atypical protein kinase c (aPKC). The phosphorylation was observed at the serine and threonine residues of MARK4. The interaction of MARK2 and MARK3 with aPKC and their negative regulation by aPKC is already known. This study confirms a functional link between aPKC and MARK4, two central determinants of cell polarity, and it suggests that aPKC may regulate all four members of Par-1 through phosphorylating them in polarized cells.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
