ERK and p38 MAPK-activated protein kinases: a family of protein kinases with diverse biological functions

Article Abstract:

The mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) coordinately regulate cell proliferation, differentiation, motility and survival, which are functions also known to be mediated by members of a growing family of MAPK-activated protein kinases. The identities of the MK substrates indicate that they play important roles in diverse biological processes, including mRNA translation, cell proliferation and survival, and the nuclear genomic response to mitogens and cellular stresses.

Diversity in chemotaxis mechanisms among the bacteria and archae

Article Abstract:

Chemotaxis describes the cellular processes that control the movement of organisms toward favorable environments. It is found that the E.coli system is streamlined and lacks or has significantly modified some basic features of the primordial mechanism that existed when the bacteria and archaea separated during evolution.

Microbial type I fatty acid synthases (FAS): major players in a network of cellular FAS systems

Article Abstract:

An attempt is made to focus on microbial type I fatty acid synthases, demonstrating their structural and functional diversity. Multifunctional type I FAS proteins form dimers or hexamers with characteristic organization of their catalytic domains, depending on their origin and biochemical function.
