Alzheimer's disease: clues from flies and worms. (1/3209)

Presenilin mutations give rise to familial Alzheimer's disease and result in elevated production of amyloid beta peptide. Recent evidence that presenilins act in developmental signalling pathways may be the key to understanding how senile plaques, neurofibrillary tangles and apoptosis are all biochemically linked.  (+info)

Axin prevents Wnt-3a-induced accumulation of beta-catenin. (2/3209)

When Axin, a negative regulator of the Wnt signaling pathway, was expressed in COS cells, it coeluted with glycogen synthase kinase-3beta (GSK-3beta), beta-catenin, and adenomatous polyposis coli protein (APC) in a high molecular weight fraction on gel filtration column chromatography. In this fraction, GSK-3beta, beta-catenin, and APC were co-precipitated with Axin. Although beta-catenin was detected in the high molecular weight fraction in L cells on gel filtration column chromatography, addition of conditioned medium expressing Wnt-3a to the cells increased beta-catenin in the low molecular weight fraction. However, Wnt-3a-dependent accumulation of beta-catenin was greatly inhibited in L cells stably expressing Axin. Axin also suppressed Wnt-3a-dependent activation of Tcf-4 which binds to beta-catenin and acts as a transcription factor. These results suggest that Axin forms a complex with GSK-3beta, beta-catenin, and APC, resulting in the stimulation of the degradation of beta-catenin and that Wnt-3a induces the dissociation of beta-catenin from the Axin complex and accumulates beta-catenin.  (+info)

Allosteric regulation of even-skipped repression activity by phosphorylation. (3/3209)

The Drosophila homeodomain protein Even-skipped (Eve) is a well characterized transcriptional repressor. Here, we show that Eve's ability to function in vitro is negatively regulated by phosphorylation. DNA-binding activity was unaffected by phosphorylation, but phosphorylated Eve was unable to interact with the TATA-binding protein (TBP), a known target for repression. Unexpectedly, phosphorylation of the Eve N terminus, which is dispensable for repression and TBP binding, was necessary and sufficient to inactivate Eve. LiCl, which specifically inhibits glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3), reduced Eve phosphorylation in nuclear extract and blocked inhibition of repression. In addition, Eve was phosphorylated and inactivated by purified GSK-3 beta plus casein kinase II. Our results suggest a novel mechanism of transcriptional control involving phosphorylation-induced allosteric interference with a repressive protein-protein interaction.  (+info)

Wingless signaling leads to an asymmetric response to decapentaplegic-dependent signaling during sense organ patterning on the notum of Drosophila melanogaster. (4/3209)

Wnt and Decapentaplegic cell signaling pathways act synergistically in their contribution to macrochaete (sense organ) patterning on the notum of Drosophila melanogaster. The Wingless-signaling pathway was ectopically activated by removing Shaggy activity (the homologue of vertebrate glycogen synthase kinase 3) in mosaics. Proneural activity is asymmetric within the Shaggy-deficient clone of cells and shows a fixed "polarity" with respect to body axis, independent of the precise location of the clone. This asymmetric response indicates the existence in the epithelium of a second signal, which we suggest is Decapentaplegic. Ectopic expression of Decapentaplegic induces extra macrochaetes only in cells which also receive the Wingless signal. Activation of Hedgehog signaling generates a long-range signal which can promote macrochaete formation in the Wingless activity domain. This signal depends upon decapentaplegic function. Autonomous activation of the Wingless signal response in cells causes them to attenuate or sequester this signal. Our results suggest a novel patterning mechanism which determines sense organ positioning in Drosophila.  (+info)

Xenopus axin interacts with glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta and is expressed in the anterior midbrain. (5/3209)

Axin is encoded by the fused locus in mice and is required for normal vertebrate axis formation. It has recently been shown that axin associates with APC, beta-catenin and glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) in a complex that appears to regulate the level of cytoplasmic beta-catenin. We have identified the Xenopus homologue of axin through its interaction with GSK-3b. Xenopus axin (Xaxin) is expressed maternally and throughout early development with a low level of ubiquitous expression. Xaxin also shows remarkably high expression in the anterior mesencephalon adjacent to the forebrain-midbrain boundary.  (+info)

Regulation of beta-catenin signaling by the B56 subunit of protein phosphatase 2A. (6/3209)

Dysregulation of Wnt-beta-catenin signaling disrupts axis formation in vertebrate embryos and underlies multiple human malignancies. The adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) protein, axin, and glycogen synthase kinase 3beta form a Wnt-regulated signaling complex that mediates the phosphorylation-dependent degradation of beta-catenin. A protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) regulatory subunit, B56, interacted with APC in the yeast two-hybrid system. Expression of B56 reduced the abundance of beta-catenin and inhibited transcription of beta-catenin target genes in mammalian cells and Xenopus embryo explants. The B56-dependent decrease in beta-catenin was blocked by oncogenic mutations in beta-catenin or APC, and by proteasome inhibitors. B56 may direct PP2A to dephosphorylate specific components of the APC-dependent signaling complex and thereby inhibit Wnt signaling.  (+info)

Differential activation of c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase and p38 pathways during FTY720-induced apoptosis of T lymphocytes that is suppressed by the extracellular signal-regulated kinase pathway. (7/3209)

FTY720 is a novel immunosuppressive drug derived from a metabolite from Isaria sinclairii that is known to induce apoptosis of rat splenic T cells. In this study, we examined the intracellular signaling pathway triggered by FTY720. Treatment of human Jurkat T lymphocytes with FTY720-induced apoptosis characterized by DNA fragmentation. The same treatment induced activation of protein kinases such as c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK), p38/CSBP (CSAID-binding protein), and a novel 36-kDa myelin basic protein (MBP) kinase, but not extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK). Pretreatment of Jurkat cells with DEVD-CHO blocked FTY720-induced DNA fragmentation as well as the activation of p38/CSBP. However, DEVD-CHO treatment failed to inhibit FTY720-induced activation of JNK and the 36-kDa MBP kinase. We have also demonstrated that activation of the ERK signaling pathway completely suppressed the FTY720-induced apoptotic process including activation of caspase 3 and activation of JNK and the 36-kDa MBP kinase. Furthermore, transient expression of constitutively active mitogen-activated protein kinase/ERK kinase (MEK) protected the cells from FTY720-induced cell death. The effect of MEK was canceled by coexpression of a mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase, CL100. These results indicate that JNK and p38 pathways are differentially regulated during FTY720-induced apoptosis and that activation of ERK pathway alone is sufficient to cancel the FTY720-induced death signal.  (+info)

Negative regulation of axis formation and Wnt signaling in Xenopus embryos by the F-box/WD40 protein beta TrCP. (8/3209)

Screening a maternal Xenopus expression library for activities that synergize with low levels of injected beta-catenin, we have isolated a clone encoding the C-terminal end of x-beta TrCP-2, a highly conserved protein belonging to the F-box/WD40 family of ubiquitin-ligase specificity factors. We show that x-beta TrCP-2 expression reduces dorsal axis formation in Xenopus embryos. A dominant negative mutant lacking the F-box triggers the opposite effect, inducing secondary axes and activating the expression of Wnt responsive genes in ectodermal explants. In light of the existence of beta TrCP transcripts associated with the vegetal cortex, we propose that beta TrCP plays a fundamental role in the establishment of the dorsal determinants during cortical rotation in Xenopus.  (+info)

Title: The Possible Involvement of Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3 (GSK-3) in Diabetes, Cancer and Central Nervous System Diseases. VOLUME: 17 ISSUE: 22. Author(s):Amar S., Belmaker R.H. and Agam G.. Affiliation:Beer-Sheba Mental Health Center PO Box 4600, Beer-Sheba ISRAEL.. Keywords:Glycogen synthase kinase 3-β, diabetes, cancer, CNS, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, Wnt signaling, postmortem brain, lithium, inflammation. Abstract: Glycogen synthase kinase (GSK-3) is a key enzyme in multiple cell processes. Since many pharmacological compounds that have effects on common metabolic pathways may have uses in many different diseases, we review here the possible involvement of glycogen synthase kinase 3 in diabetes, cancer and CNS diseases. Moreover, diabetes has recently been strongly linked to CNS diseases such as schizophrenia and bipolar illness. GSK-3 is both directly and indirectly inhibited by lithium, a key compound for treatment of bipolar disorder. Several antipsychotic drugs also affect the ...
Active Aβ immunotherapy in Alzheimers disease (AD) induces removal of Aβ and phosphorylated tau (ptau). Glycogen Synthase Kinase (GSK)-3β is a kinase, responsible for phosphorylation of tau, activation of which can be induced by phosphorylated double-stranded RNA dependent protein kinase (pPKR). Using a post-mortem cohort of immunised AD cases, we investigated the effect of Abeta immunisation on GSK-3β expression and pPKR ...
A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs) include a family of scaffolding proteins that target protein kinase A (PKA) and other signaling proteins to cellular compartments and thereby confine the activities of the associated proteins to distinct regions within cells. AKAPs bind PKA directly. The interaction is mediated by the dimerization and docking domain of regulatory subunits of PKA and the PKA-binding domain of AKAPs. Analysis of the interactions between the dimerization and docking domain and various PKA-binding domains yielded a generalized motif allowing the identification of AKAPs. Our bioinformatics and peptide array screening approaches based on this signature motif identified GSKIP (glycogen synthase kinase 3beta interaction protein) as an AKAP. GSKIP directly interacts with PKA and GSK3beta (glycogen synthase kinase 3beta). It is widely expressed and facilitates phosphorylation and thus inactivation of GSK3beta by PKA. GSKIP contains the evolutionarily conserved domain of unknown function ...

This paper will concentrate on the different methods to control GSK-3 activity (phosphorylation, proteins complex development, truncation, subcellular localization, etc.), the primary signalling pathways involved with its control, and its own pathological deregulation. 1. Launch Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) is really a CMGC serine/threonine proteins kinase initially referred to as among the kinases that phosphorylates and inhibits glycogen synthase [1].

Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 (GSK-‑3) is a serine/threonine protein kinase and one of several protein kinases, which phosphorylate glycogen synthase. It is also called Factor A (F A ) for its ability to activate the MgATP-dependent form of the protein phosphatase PP1 called F C (1-4)
The WNT signalling pathway controls many developmental processes and plays a key role in maintenance of intestine renewal and homeostasis. Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 (GSK3) is an important component of the WNT pathway and is involved in regulating β-catenin stability and expression of WNT target genes. The mechanisms underpinning GSK3 regulation in this context are not completely understood, with some evidence suggesting this occurs through inhibitory N-terminal serine phosphorylation in a similar way to GSK3 inactivation in insulin signaling. To investigate this in a physiologically relevant context, we have analysed the intestinal phenotype of GSK3 knockin mice in which N-terminal serines 21/9 of GSK3α/β have been mutated to non-phosphorylatable alanine residues. We show that these knockin mutations have very little effect on overall intestinal integrity, cell lineage commitment, β-catenin localization or WNT target gene expression although a small increase in apoptosis at villi tips is ...
The transcription factor NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a master regulator of a genetic program, termed the phase 2 response, that controls redox homeostasis and participates in multiple aspects of physiology and pathology. Nrf2 protein stability is regulated by two E3 ubiquitin ligase adaptors, Keap1 and ß-TrCP, the latter of which was only recently reported. Here, two-dimensional (2D) gel electrophoresis and site-directed mutagenesis allowed us to identify two serines of Nrf2 that are phosphorylated by glycogen synthase kinase 3ß (GSK-3ß) in the sequence DSGISL. Nuclear magnetic resonance studies defined key residues of this phosphosequence involved in docking to the WD40 propeller of ß-TrCP, through electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions. We also identified three arginine residues of ß-TrCP that participate in Nrf2 docking. Intraperitoneal injection of the GSK-3 inhibitor SB216763 led to increased Nrf2 and heme oxygenase-1 levels in liver and hippocampus. Moreover, mice with ...

Exacerbated hippocampal activity has been associated to critical modifications of the intracellular signaling pathways. We have investigated rapid hippocampal adaptive responses induced by maximal electroshock seizure (MES). Here, we demonstrate that abnormal and exacerbated hippocampal activity induced by MES triggers specific and temporally distinct patterns of phosphorylation of extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK), mammalian target of rapamycin complex (mTORC) and Akt/glycogen synthase kinase-3 (Akt/GSK-3) pathways in the mouse hippocampus. While the ERK pathway is transiently activated, the mTORC1 cascade follows a rapid inhibition followed by a transient activation. This rebound of mTORC1 activity leads to the selective phosphorylation of p70S6K, which is accompanied by an enhanced phosphorylation of the ribosomal subunit S6. In contrast, the Akt/GSK-3 pathway is weakly altered. Finally, MES triggers a rapid upregulation of several plasticity-associated genes as a consequence exacerbated
Phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3-K) and protein kinase B (Akt) activation not only stimulate NO production, but they also inhibit glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK3β) (8). Similarly, activation of canonical Wnt signaling inactivates GSK3β (9). Wnts are secreted glycoproteins known to regulate hematopoiesis and stem cell function (9). In the unstimulated cell, GSK3β phosphorylates and accelerates degradation of HIF-1α and β-catenin (9,10). Inhibition of GSK3β leads to cytosolic accumulation and nuclear translocation of these transcription factors in a manner that increases EPC survival, proliferation, differentiation, mobilization, and adhesion (11-13). EPCs pretreated with GSK inhibitors or EPCs that are genetically modified to overexpress VEGF or inactive GSK3β enhance vasculogenesis, augment reendothelialization, and reduce neointimal formation (11-13).. Diabetes is associated with reduced endothelial NO bioavailability and PI3-K/Akt activity, and EPCs are defective and reduced in ...
The challenge for glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) inhibitor design lies in achieving high selectivity for one isoform over the other. The therapy of certain diseases, such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML), may require α-isoform specific targeting. The scorpion shaped GSK-3 inhibitors developed by our group achieved the highest GSK-3α selectivity reported so far but suffered from insufficient aqueous solubility. This work presents the solubility-driven optimization of our isoform-selective inhibitors using a scorpion shaped lead. Among 15 novel compounds, compound 27 showed high activity against GSK-3α/β with the highest GSK-3α selectivity reported to date. Compound 27 was profiled for bioavailability and toxicity in a zebrafish embryo phenotype assay. Selective GSK-3α targeting in AML cell lines was achieved with compound 27, resulting in a strong differentiation phenotype and colony formation impairment, confirming the potential of GSK-3α inhibition in AML therapy. ...
Background Inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) improves the efficiency of embryonic stem (ES) cell derivation from various strains of mice and rats, as well as dramatically promotes ES cell self-renewal potential. β-catenin has been reported to be involved in the maintenance of self-renewal of ES cells through TCF dependent and independent pathway. But the intrinsic difference between ES cell lines from different species and strains has not been characterized. Here, we dissect the mechanism of GSK-3 inhibition by CHIR99021 in mouse ES cells from refractory mouse strains. Methodology/Principal Findings We found that CHIR99021, a GSK-3 specific inhibitor, promotes self-renewal of ES cells from recalcitrant C57BL/6 (B6) and BALB/c mouse strains through stabilization of β-catenin and c-Myc protein levels. Stabilized β-catenin promoted ES self-renewal through two mechanisms. First, β-catenin translocated into the nucleus to maintain stem cell pluripotency in a lymphoid-enhancing factor/T

Nevertheless, the specificity of these antibodies in immunocytochemistry offers not really been resolved in any fine detail. ResultsTaking benefit of gene silencing technology, we analyzed the specificity of many in a commercial sense obtainable anti-phosphorylated GSK-3 antibodies. We display that antibodies elevated to peptides made up of the phosphorylated Ser21/9 epitope crossreact with mysterious antigens that are extremely indicated by mitotic cells and that primarily localise to spindle poles. In addition, two antibodies elevated to peptides made up of the phosphorylated Tyr279/216 epitope recognise an mysterious proteins at focal connections, and a third antibody recognises a proteins discovered in Ki-67-positive cell nuclei. While the phosphorylated Ser9/21 GSK-3 antibodies also recognise additional protein whose ...
The phosphorylation of Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) at Thr668 plays a key role in APP metabolism that is highly relevant to AD. The c-Jun-N-terminal kinase (JNK), glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) and cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) can all be responsible for this phosphorylation. These kinases are activated by excitotoxic stimuli fundamental hallmarks of AD. The exposure of cortical neurons to a high dose of NMDA (100 μM) for 30-45 led to an increase of P-APP Thr668. During NMDA stimulation APP hyperphosphorylation has to be assigned to GSK-3β activity, since addition of L803-mts, a substrate competitive inhibitor of GSK-3β reduced APP phosphorylation induced by NMDA. On the contrary, inhibition of JNK and Cdk5 with D-JNKI1 and Roscovitine respectively did not prevent NMDA-induced P-APP increase. These data show a tight connection, in excitotoxic conditions, between APP metabolism and the GSK-3β signaling pathway.

These ...
Neural stem cells (NSCs) hold great potential for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. However, programmed cell death (PCD) provoked by the harsh conditions evident in the diseased brain greatly undermines the potential of NSCs. Currently, the mechanisms of PCD that effect NSCs remain largely unknown. We have previously reported that hippocampal neural stem (HCN) cells derived from the adult rat brain undergo autopahgic cell death (ACD) following insulin withdrawal without hallmarks of apoptosis despite their normal apoptotic capabilities. In this study, we demonstrate that glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK-3β) induces ACD in insulin-deprived HCN cells. Both pharmacological and genetic inactivation of GSK-3β significantly decreased ACD, while activation of GSK-3β increased autophagic flux and caused more cell death without inducing apoptosis following insulin withdrawal. In contrast, knockdown of GSK-3α barely affected ACD, lending further support to the critical role of GSK-3β.

IL-33 is a cytokine belonging to the IL-1 family and plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of pulmonary inflammatory diseases (7, 32). IL-33 induces IL-6 and IL-8 release in lung epithelial cells and macrophages, and increases lung endothelial permeability (7, 9). The biological effects of IL-33 are through interactions with its receptor ST2L. Therefore, understanding the regulation of cell surface expression of ST2L is important for limiting lung inflammation and injury. Ligand-induced receptor internalization and downregulation are crucial steps to control the magnitude and duration of extracellular signals in eukaryotes. Our previous studies demonstrated that ST2L is ubiquitinated and degraded in response to IL-33 in a GSK3β activation-dependent manner (5). In this study, we extend our understanding of ST2L downregulation by demonstrating a role for GSK3β in the regulation of ST2L receptor internalization. The current study indicates that FAK-activated GSK3β modulates ST2L ...

Purpose: Evasion from chemotherapy-induced apoptosis due to p53 loss strongly contributes to drug resistance. Identification of specific targets for the treatment of drug-resistant p53-null tumors would therefore increase the effectiveness of cancer therapy.. Experimental Design: By using a kinase-directed short hairpin RNA library and HCT116p53KO drug-resistant colon carcinoma cells, glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK3B) was identified as a target whose silencing bypasses drug resistance due to loss of p53. p53-null colon cancer cell lines with different sets of mutations were used to validate the role of GSK3B in sustaining resistance and to characterize cell death mechanisms triggered by chemotherapy when GSK3B is silenced. In vivo xenograft studies were conducted to confirm resensitization of drug-resistant cells to chemotherapy upon GSK3 inhibition. Colon cancer samples from a cohort of 50 chemotherapy-treated stage II patients were analyzed for active GSK3B expression.. Results: ...
Glycogen synthase kinase 3 has evolutionarily conserved roles in cell signaling and metabolism and is a recognized drug target in neurological pathologies, most prominently bipolar disorder. More recently it has been suggested that GSK3 may be a target for the treatment of trypanosomatid parasite infections, e.g. w
rIPC [remote IPC (ischaemic preconditioning)] has been shown to invoke potent myocardial protection in animal studies and recent clinical trials. Although the important role of PI3K (phosphoinositide 3-kinase)/Akt activation in the cardioprotection afforded by local IPC is well described, our understanding of the intracellular signalling of rIPC remains incomplete. We therefore examined the hypothesis that the myocardial protection afforded by rIPC is mediated via the PI3K/Akt/GSK3β (glycogen synthase kinase 3β) signalling pathway, activation of which is associated with nuclear accumulation of β-catenin. rIPC was induced in mice using four cycles of 5 min of ischaemia and 5 min of reperfusion of the hindlimb using a torniquet. This led to reduced infarct size (19±4% in rIPC compared with 39±7% in sham; P,0.05), improved functional recovery and reduced apoptosis after global I/R (ischaemia/reperfusion) injury using a Langendorff-perfused mouse heart model. These effects were reversed by ...

Development of protein kinase inhibitors is a focus of many drug discovery programs. A major problem, however, is the limited specificity of the commonly used adenosine triphosphate-competitive inhibitors and the weak inhibition of the more selective substrate-competitive inhibitors. Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) is a promising drug target for treating neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimers disease (AD), but most GSK-3 inhibitors have not reached the clinic. We describe a new type of GSK-3 inhibitor, L807mts, that acts through a substrate-to-inhibitor conversion mechanism that occurs within the catalytic site of the enzyme. We determined that L807mts was a potent and highly selective GSK-3 inhibitor with reasonable pharmacological and safety properties when tested in rodents. Treatment with L807mts enhanced the clearance of β-amyloid loads, reduced inflammation, enhanced autophagic flux, and improved cognitive and social skills in the 5XFAD AD mouse model. This new modality of ...

Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) is a widely expressed and highly conserved serine/threonine protein kinase encoded by two genes that generate two related proteins: GSK-3α and GSK-3β. Mice lacking a functional GSK-3α gene were engineered in our laboratory; they are viable and display insulin sensitivity. In this study, we have characterized brain functions of GSK-3α KO mice by using a well-established battery of behavioral tests together with neurochemical and neuroanatomical analysis. Similar to the previously described behaviours of GSK-3β+/-mice, GSK-3α mutants display decreased exploratory activity, decreased immobility time and reduced aggressive behavior. However, genetic inactivation of the GSK-3α gene was associated with: decreased locomotion and impaired motor coordination, increased grooming activity, loss of social motivation and novelty; enhanced sensorimotor gating and impaired associated memory and coordination. GSK-3α KO mice exhibited a deficit in fear conditioning, however
Phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3-K) and protein kinase B (Akt) activation not only stimulate NO production, but they also inhibit glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK3β) (8). Similarly, activation of canonical Wnt signaling inactivates GSK3β (9). Wnts are secreted glycoproteins known to regulate hematopoiesis and stem cell function (9). In the unstimulated cell, GSK3β phosphorylates and accelerates degradation of HIF-1α and β-catenin (9,10). Inhibition of GSK3β leads to cytosolic accumulation and nuclear translocation of these transcription factors in a manner that increases EPC survival, proliferation, differentiation, mobilization, and adhesion (11-13). EPCs pretreated with GSK inhibitors or EPCs that are genetically modified to overexpress VEGF or inactive GSK3β enhance vasculogenesis, augment reendothelialization, and reduce neointimal formation (11-13).. Diabetes is associated with reduced endothelial NO bioavailability and PI3-K/Akt activity, and EPCs are defective and reduced in ...

Several kinases implicated in multiple signaling pathways elicit conflicting responses depending on the cellular context. One such kinase is glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3), a cytoplasmic serine-threonine kinase that is involved in insulin signaling and metabolic regulation, as well as in Wnt signaling and the specification of cell fates during embryonic development (3). GSK3 appears in two highly homologous and ubiquitously expressed forms, GSK3α and GSK3β (4). The insulin and Wnt signaling pathways differentially regulate GSK3α/β resulting in distinct downstream events (5), but how they accomplish this is not clear. The recent report of the crystal structure of GSK3β by Dajani and colleagues in Cell (6), together with a biochemical study of GSK3_ by Frame et al. in Molecular Cell (7), reveal how GSK3 selectively regulates different downstream targets according to which signaling pathway is activated.. GSK3 is unusual among kinases in that its normal activity in the cytoplasm is blocked ...
Glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3) in its active state complexes with APC and AXIN to suppress phosphorylation of β-catenin, which then gets degraded via the proteasome. GSK-3 becomes inactivated through the PI3K/AKT pathway when the cell receives signals like growth factors, cytokines, or insulin. WNT signaling can also inactivate GSK-3 through Dsh. Inactivation of GSK-3 leads to gene expression, cell survival, and cell proliferation.. Click on the poster below to view the interactive version.. ...
Dysregulation of glycogen synthase kinase (GSK-3β) is implicated in the pathophysiology of many diseases, including type-2 diabetes, stroke, Alzheimers, and others. A multistage virtual screening strategy designed so as to overcome known caveats arising from the considerable flexibility of GSK-3β yielded, from among
As the major downstream target of mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1), S6K phosphorylates multiple downstream substrates including S6, eIF4B, and GSK3 (glycogen synthase kinase 3) to regulate various key cellular processes including protein synthesis, cell size, cell proliferation (18-21), and cell migration (22). However, the biochemical and biological functions of different S6K family proteins including S6K1 (which consists of the p70S6K1 and p85S6K1 isoforms) and S6K2 (also known as p56S6K2) are relatively undefined (23). In keeping with a possible oncogenic role for S6K kinases, bioinformatics analysis indicated that both S6K1 and S6K2 were amplified in multiple human cancers, especially in breast cancers (fig. S2, A and B). The amplification of S6K1 and S6K2 appeared to be mutually exclusive in breast cancers (fig. S2C), suggesting possibly redundant functions of S6K1 and S6K2. Structurally, p85S6K1 shared a high degree of homology in amino acid sequence with p56S6K2, except ...

Nevertheless, the specificity of these antibodies in immunocytochemistry offers not really been resolved in any fine detail. ResultsTaking benefit of gene silencing technology, we analyzed the specificity of many in a commercial sense obtainable anti-phosphorylated GSK-3 antibodies. We display that antibodies elevated to peptides made up of the phosphorylated Ser21/9 epitope crossreact with mysterious antigens that are extremely indicated by mitotic cells and that primarily localise to spindle poles. In addition, two antibodies elevated to peptides made up of the phosphorylated Tyr279/216 epitope recognise an mysterious proteins at focal connections, and a third antibody recognises a proteins discovered in Ki-67-positive cell nuclei. While the phosphorylated Ser9/21 GSK-3 antibodies also recognise additional protein whose ...
Enhancing β-cell proliferation is a major goal for type 1 and type 2 diabetes research. Unraveling the network of β-cell intracellular signaling pathways that promote β-cell replication can provide the tools to address this important task. In a previous Perspectives in Diabetes article, we discussed what was known regarding several important intracellular signaling pathways in rodent β-cells, including the insulin receptor substrate/phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase/Akt (IRS-PI3K-Akt) pathways, glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK3) and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) S6 kinase pathways, protein kinase Cζ (PKCζ) pathways, and their downstream cell-cycle molecular targets, and contrasted that ample knowledge to the small amount of complementary data on human β-cell intracellular signaling pathways ...
