Published in 2024 at "Biochemistry"

DOI: 10.1021/acs.biochem.4c00323

Abstract: Hematopoietic cell kinase (Hck) is a member of the Src kinase family and is a promising drug target in myeloid leukemias. Here, we report the crystal structure of human Hck in complex with the pyrrolopyrimidine… read more here.

Published in 2025 at "Leukemia"

DOI: 10.1038/s41375-025-02594-7

Abstract: Myelofibrosis (MF) in 50% of cases is driven by an activating JAK2 mutation, mostly V617F. Ruxolinitib is approved for the treatment of MF. Responses to ruxolitinib in MF are of limited duration. Unexpectedly, treatment of… read more here.

Published in 2021 at "Nucleic acids research"

DOI: 10.1093/nar/gkab920

Abstract: The active form of kinases is shared across different family members, as are several commonly observed inactive forms. We previously performed a clustering of the conformation of the activation loop of all protein kinase structures… read more here.

Published in 2022 at "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America"

DOI: 10.1101/2022.05.05.490744

Abstract: Phosphorylation is a ubiquitous mechanism by which signals are transduced in cells. Protein kinases, enzymes that catalyze the phospho-transfer reaction are, themselves, often regulated by phosphorylation. Paradoxically, however, a substantial fraction of the more than… read more here.

Published in 2019 at "PLoS ONE"

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0225727

Abstract: MAP/microtubule-affinity regulating kinases (MARK1-4) are members of the AMPK family of Ser/Thr-specific kinases, which phosphorylate substrates at consensus LXRXXSXXXL motifs. Within microtubule-associated proteins, MARKs also mediate phosphorylation of variant KXGS or ζXKXGSXXNΨ motifs, interfering with… read more here.
