  2. 1. The G protein-coupled receptor GPR30 signalosome - A novel G protein-independent mechanism regulating cAMP signaling and receptor trafficking

    Author : Stefan Broselid; Drug Target Discovery; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; AKAP5; AKAP; MAGUK; cAMP signaling; constitutive signaling; signalosome; GPER; GPR30; GPCR; cytokeratin; RAMP3; apoptotic signaling; breast cancer; PDZ; PDZ-ligand;

    Abstract : The large protein family called G Protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) has co-evolved with life throughout evolution; from single cell organisms all the way to complex beings such as us humans. The fact that GPCRs are involved in essentially every physiological event, and that ~50% of drugs on the current market are either directly or indirectly targeted towards the function of GPCRs, we can be certain of their considerable importance.

  4. 2. Reciprocal regulation of endocytosis and signaling in Drosophila epithelial development and aberrant growth

    Author : Dan Liu; Christos Samakovlis; Vasilios Tsarouhas; Héctor Herranz; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; endocytosis; protein sorting; RTK signaling; airway maturation; tumor-suppressive cell competition; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

    Abstract : Endocytosis and subsequent endosomal sorting of plasma membrane proteins and nutrients are essential for cellular homeostasis. Previous work has uncovered several different internalization mechanisms, endosomal sorting routes and aspects of their regulation. READ MORE

  5. 3. Ligand-activated proteolysis in nutrient signaling

    Author : Claes Andréasson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cells respond to changing nutrient availability and make adjustments in physiological processes. Central for making proper adjustments is the ability to execute appropriate changes in patterns of gene expression. READ MORE

  6. 4. Studies on ITK-SYK signaling pathways

    Author : Alamdar Hussain; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Chromosomal alterations are frequent causes of cancer. Until now, SYK is reported in two different chromosomal translocation events generating the ITK-SYK-fusion protein in a subset of peripheral T cell lymphomas and the TEL-SYK fusion protein in a case of myelodysplastic syndrome.
