Researchers report mechanism for cellular signal amplification by scaffold proteins
Cellular signaling pathways involved in everything from the proliferation of fatty tissue to the death of neurons in the brain are tightly regulated by "cascades" of sequentially activated enzymes, MAP kinases. These enzymes ...

A molecular pit crew responsible for refuelling in signaling cells
During IndyCar races, pit stop crews will often refuel a car, replace wheels and complete minor repairs on a race car within 10 seconds. In this short time, a dozen or so people work rapidly and in a highly coordinated manner ...

Red and violet light reset the circadian clock in algae via novel pathway
As anyone who has spent wakeful nights suffering from jetlag will attest, the human body has a strong sense of time. The body clock runs on a 24-hour cycle, or circadian (from the Latin meaning "about a day") rhythm. When ...

Study reveals the protein structure of the human apoptosome
Programmed cell death, or apoptosis, plays a central role in the maintenance of human health by providing a line of defense against unrestricted cell growth that occurs in many cancers and AIDS as well as in neurodegenerative ...

Protein structure reveals how cells regulate their skeletons
Insight into the regulation of cell skeleton structure has come from a study conducted by A*STAR researchers. The work, which solved a protein structure that has eluded scientists for 20 years, should lead to further insights ...

Survey of cellular signaling pathways reveals proteins that help plants to cope with dehydration
Enzymes called protein kinases modulate cellular activities in virtually every organism. They switch other proteins off or on by tacking on phosphate chemical groups—a process known as phosphorylation—to regulate the ...
