Journal ArticleDOI

Integrin-linked kinase, a novel component of the cardiac mechanical stretch sensor, controls contractility in the zebrafish heart

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that the heart uses the Integrin-ILK-beta-parvin network to sense mechanical stretch and respond with increased expression of ANF and VEGF, the latter of which was recently shown to augment cardiac force by increasing the heart's calcium transients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure and calcium-binding properties of Frq1, a novel calcium sensor in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

TL;DR: The FRQ1 gene is essential for growth of budding yeast and encodes a 190-residue, N-myristoylated (myr) calcium-binding protein, which resembles that of recoverin, and subcellular fractionation experiments showed that both the N- myristoyl group and Ca(2+)-binding contribute to the ability of Frq1 to associate with membranes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural insights into activation of phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase (Pik1) by yeast frequenin (Frq1).

TL;DR: Frq1 may activate Pik1 by facilitating membrane targeting via the exposed N-myristoyl group and by imposing a structural transition that promotes association of the lipid kinase unique motif with the kinase domain.
