    Activation of MAP3K DLK and LZK in Purkinje cells causes rapid and slow degeneration depending on signaling strength

    Yunbo Li, Erin M Ritchie ... Yishi Jin
    The activity levels of two closely related MAPKKK are differentially regulated in Purkinje neuron survival.

    Site-specific effects of neurosteroids on GABAA receptor activation and desensitization

    Yusuke Sugasawa, Wayland WL Cheng ... Alex S Evers
    Differential, state-dependent occupancy of three discrete binding sites on α1β3 GABAA receptors determines whether a specific neurosteroid analogue potentiates or inhibits GABA-elicited currents or competitively antagonizes neurosteroid action.

    DDK/Hsk1 phosphorylates and targets fission yeast histone deacetylase Hst4 for degradation to stabilize stalled DNA replication forks

    Shalini Aricthota, Devyani Haldar
    Sirtuin, Hst4 is a novel DDK kinase target, which is modified and degraded in response to replication stress, increasing H3K56 acetylation, to stabilize DNA replication forks via fork protection complex which maintains genome stability and has potential in cancer therapeutics.

    Dual leucine zipper kinase-dependent PERK activation contributes to neuronal degeneration following insult

    Martin Larhammar, Sarah Huntwork-Rodriguez ... Trent A Watkins
    Two seemingly distinct cellular stress response pathways that contribute to neurodegeneration after axonal insults are now revealed to be under the control of a single master regulator of the neuronal injury response, the kinase DLK.

    Measuring ligand-cell surface receptor affinities with axial line-scanning fluorescence correlation spectroscopy

    Antonia Franziska Eckert, Peng Gao ... Gerd Ulrich Nienhaus
    A robust fluorescence microscopy-based data acquisition and analysis framework affords the precise measurement of cell surface receptor affinities toward their cognate ligands and their densities in live cells/tissues.

    DDK regulates replication initiation by controlling the multiplicity of Cdc45-GINS binding to Mcm2-7

    Lorraine De Jesús-Kim, Larry J Friedman ... Stephen P Bell
    A multi-step process of helicase activation sensitizes replication initiation to the extent of replicative helicase phosphorylation.

    Genetic code expansion, click chemistry, and light-activated PI3K reveal details of membrane protein trafficking downstream of receptor tyrosine kinases

    Duk-Su Koh, Anastasiia Stratiievska ... Sharona E Gordon
    The generation of phosphoinositide 3,4,5-trisphosphate causes an increase in the number of TRPV1 ion channels and insulin receptors in the plasma membrane.

    Neuronal hyperexcitability is a DLK-dependent trigger of herpes simplex virus reactivation that can be induced by IL-1

    Sean R Cuddy, Austin R Schinlever ... Anna R Cliffe
    Herpes simplex virus reactivates from a latent infection when neurons become hyperexcitable in response to an inflammatory cytokine known to be released during fever and stress.

    A multi-scale model for hair follicles reveals heterogeneous domains driving rapid spatiotemporal hair growth patterning

    Qixuan Wang, Ji Won Oh ... Maksim V Plikus
    Regional differences in activator and inhibitor signals alter hair cycle pace across mouse skin and produce unique fur renewal 'landscapes', with fastest renewal on the ventrum and slowest renewal on the ear pinnae.

    Dual leucine zipper kinase is required for mechanical allodynia and microgliosis after nerve injury

    Josette J Wlaschin, Jacob M Gluski ... Claire E Le Pichon
    The DLK response pathway in neurons initiates the cascade of events leading to neuropathic pain after injury.
