Journal ArticleDOI

Glycogen synthase kinase-3 and the Alzheimer-like state of microtubule-associated protein tau

TL;DR: It is shown that the proline‐directed kinase, GSK3, can induce an Alzheimer‐like immune response involving several distinct and phoshorylatable epitopes at Ser—Pro motifs, as well as gel mobility shift, similar to MAP kinase.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3β Phosphorylates Protein Tau and Rescues the Axonopathy in the Central Nervous System of Human Four-repeat Tau Transgenic Mice

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that GSK-3β reduces the number of axonal dilations and alleviates the motoric impairment that was typical for single htau40 transgenic animals, and could have therapeutic implications in the field of neurodegeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gβγ-Mediated Regulation of Golgi Organization Is through the Direct Activation of Protein Kinase D

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that Gβγ directly activates PKD by interacting with its PH domain, suggesting a possible mechanism by which the direct interaction of G βγ with PKD regulates the dynamics of Golgi membranes and protein secretion.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the role of calcium as second messenger in liver for the hormonally induced activation of glycogen phosphorylase

TL;DR: The data are interpreted in favour of a role of calcium as the second messenger in liver for the three cyclic AMP-independent glycogenolytic hormones and as an additional messenger for glucagon which, via cyclicAMP, will make calcium available to the cytoplasm either from extracellular or from intracellular pools.
