Open AccessTherapeutic targeting of CK2 in acute and chronic leukemias
CK2 is a ubiquitously expressed, constitutively active Ser/Thr protein kinase, which is considered the most pleiotropic protein kinase in the human kinome. Such a pleiotropy explains the involvement of CK2 in ...

Protein kinase CK2 in hematologic malignancies: reliance on a pivotal cell survival regulator by oncogenic signaling pathways
CK2 is a multitask kinase whose role is essential for a countless number of cellular processes, many of which are critical for blood cell development. A prevailing task for this kinase rests on counteracting p...

Vibroacoustic Energy Diffusion Optimization in Beams and Plates by Means of Distributed Shunted Piezoelectric Patches
This chapter proposes a synthesis of different new methodologies for develo** a distributed, integrated shunted piezo composite for beams and plates applications able to modify the structural vibro acoustica...

Analytical and Experimental Analysis of Bandgaps in Nonlinear one Dimensional Periodic Structures
Wave propagation characteristics of nonlinear one-dimensional periodic structures are investigated analytically, numerically and experimentally. A novel perturbation analysis is first applied to predict the ba...

Pharmacological inhibition of protein kinase CK2 reverts the multidrug resistance phenotype of a CEM cell line characterized by high CK2 level
Protein kinase CK2 is an ubiquitous and constitutively active kinase, which phosphorylates many cellular proteins and is implicated in the regulation of cell survival, proliferation and transformation. We inve...

Phosphorylation and activation of the atypical kinase p53-related protein kinase (PRPK) by Akt/PKB
p53-related protein kinase (PRPK), the human homologue of yeast Bud32, belonging to a small subfamily of atypical protein kinases, is inactive unless it is previously incubated with cell lysates. Here we show ...

Article
Protein kinase CK2 phosphorylates and upregulates Akt/PKB
Treatment of Jurkat cells with specific inhibitors of protein kinase CK2 induces apoptosis. Here we provide evidence that the antiapoptotic effect of CK2 can be at least partially mediated by upregulation of t...

Optimal design of underwater stiffened shells
The optimal design parameters of stiffened shells are determined using a rational multicriteria optimization approach. The adopted approach aims at simultaneously minimizing the shell vibration, associated sou...

Polylysine Activates a Splenic Tyrosine Protein Kinase Encoded by the fgr Protooncogene
A tyrosine protein kinase previously isolated from rat spleen, conventionally termed TPK-III, displaying autophosphorylation activity [Brunati and Pinna, 1988], has been purified to homogeneity. The enzyme is ...
