Article Abstract
Canonical protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) consists of a catalytic subunit (C), a scaffolding subunit (A), and a regulatory subunit (B). The B subunits are believed to confer substrate specificity and cellular localization to the PP2A complex, and are generally divided into three non-related families in plants, i.e., B55, B' and B''. The two Arabidopsis B55 subunits (α and β) interact with nitrate reductase (NR) in the bimolecular fluorescence complementation assay in planta, and are necessary for rapid activation of NR. Interestingly, knockout of all four B55 alleles is probably lethal, because a homozygous double knockout (pp2a-b55αβ) could not be found. The B55 subunits, therefore, appear to have essential functions that cannot be replaced by other regulatory B subunits. A double mutant (pp2a-b'αβ) of two close B' homologs show severely impaired fertility, pointing to the essential role also of B' subunits in plant development.

PPM1D is directly degraded by proteasomes in a ubiquitination-independent manner through its carboxyl-terminal region.

Background: PPM1D (protein phosphatase Mg⁺/Mn⁺ dependent 1D) is a Ser/Thr phosphatase that negatively regulates p53 and functions as an oncogenic driver. Its gene amplification and overexpression are frequently observed in various malignancies and disruption of PPM1D degradation has also been reported as a cause of cancer progression. However, the precise mechanisms regulating PPM1D stability remain to be elucidated.

Casein kinase 1 (CK1) family members are crucial for ER-Golgi trafficking, calcium signalling, DNA repair, transfer RNA (tRNA) modifications, and circadian rhythmicity. Whether and how substrate interactions and kinase autophosphorylation contribute to CK1 plasticity remains largely unknown. Here, we undertake a comprehensive phylogenetic, cellular, and molecular characterization of budding yeast CK1 Hrr25 and identify human CK1 epsilon (CK1ϵ) as its ortholog.

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), a myeloproliferative neoplasm, is characterized by the fusion gene, which results in constitutive tyrosine kinase activity. While tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have significantly improved CML outcomes, resistance and the persistence of leukemic stem cells remain major clinical challenges. Curcumin, a natural polyphenol derived from , has demonstrated potential anticancer properties.

Objective: The present study explores the association between these inflammatory markers and metastasis in osteosarcoma patients.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of osteosarcoma patients at our center between January 2022 and August 2024. We collected the clinical and laboratory data of the patients, including white blood cell differential count, C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels.
