The CK1 family of serine/threonine kinases regulates diverse cellular processes, through binding to and phosphorylation a myriad of protein substrates. CK1 prefers substrates primed by prior phosphorylation, and works closely with other kinases in the Wnt pathway. CK1 is itself regulated by posttranslational modification, including autophosphorylation. We provide a brief overview of the fundamentals of CK1 biology with an emphasis on scaffold binding and kinase regulation in Wnt signaling and circadian rhythms.

Curzerenone is a major component of the traditional herbal medicine Curcumae Rhizoma with potential cancer-suppressing effects. This study aims to investigate the treatment effect of Curzerenone on cervical cancer cells and the underpinning mechanism. HeLa and SiHa cells were treated with Curzerenone.

Tor kinases play diverse and essential roles in control of nutrient signaling and cell growth. These kinases are assembled into two multiprotein complexes known as TORC1 and TORC2. In budding yeast, TORC2 relays nutrient-dependent signals that strongly influence growth rate and cell size.

Bacterial contamination is an inevitable issue during the processing of semen preservation in pigs. As a prototypical endotoxin from Gram-negative bacteria in semen, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) undermines sperm function during liquid preservation. Spermine and spermidine could protect cells against LPS-induced injury, and the content of spermine and spermidine in seminal plasma is positively correlated with sperm quality.

The human protein kinase CK2 is a promising target for cancer treatment. Only two CK2 inhibitors have reached clinical trials until today. Among others, a dibenzofuran scaffold has emerged as highly prospective for the development of new CK2 inhibitors.
