How do you keep track of basic information on the proteins you work with? Where do you find details of their physicochemical properties, amino acid sequences, gene organization? Are you tired of scanning review articles, primary papers and databases to locate that elusive fact? The Academic Press FactsBook series will satisfy scientists and clinical researchers suffering from information overload. Each volume provides a catalogue of the essential properties of families of molecules. Gene organization, amino acid sequences, physicochemical properties, and biological activity are presented using a common, easy to follow format. Taken together they compile everything you wanted to know about proteins but were too busy to look for. The Protein Kinase FactsBook: Protein - Tyrosine Kinases contains over 65 entries on members of the family from vertebrates, Drosophila, slime moulds and other organisms. Key Features * Entries provide information on: * Subunit structure and isoforms * Genetics * Sequence database accession numbers * Domain structures * Amino acid sequences * Homologues in other species * Patterns of expression * Physiological substrates and specificity determinants * Assays * Enzyme activators and inhibitors * References.

Cyclin Dependent Kinase 5 provides a comprehensive and up-to-date collection of reviews on the discovery, signaling mechanisms and functions of Cdk5, as well as the potential implication of Cdk5 in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. Since the identification of this unique member of the Cdk family, Cdk5 has emerged as one of the most important signal transduction mediators in the development, maintenance and fine-tuning of neuronal functions and networking. Further studies have revealed that Cdk5 is also associated with the regulation of neuronal survival during development as well as in neurodegenerative diseases. These observations indicate that precise control of Cdk5 is essential for the regulation of neuronal survival. The pivotal role that Cdk5 appears to play in both the regulation of neuronal survival and synaptic functions thus raises the interesting possibility that Cdk5 inhibitors may have therapeutic potential for the treatment of a number of neurodegenerative diseases.

There is no question that loss of cell cycle checkpoint regulation is an intrinsic characteristic of cancer. However, many tumors retain parallel checkpoint pathways that are activated by antitumor agents and facilitate therapeutic response. Failures in these therapy-linked checkpoint controls are closely associated with cancers that are highly resistant to therapeutic interventions. Checkpoint Controls and Targets in Cancer provides present-day mechanistic understandings of how multiple sets of proteins orchestrate cell cycle progression, discusses critical checkpoint controls that are evaded for cancer development, focuses on checkpoint pathways associated with antitumor effects, and identifies specific checkpoint regulators for targeting with small molecules in the clinical management of cancer. These aspects of cell cycle checkpoints are articulated critically by renowned experts from both academia and industry, and new concepts are forwarded that challenge existing dogmas. Collectively, Checkpoint Controls and Targets in Cancer provides a unique collection of insightful contributions, which are timely and offer significant interest and appeal to basic, translational and clinical scientists.

The cell cycle is tightly regulated on many different levels to ensure properly controlled proliferation. Deregulation of cell cycle regulation is a hallmark of cancer. In this book, many aspects of cell cycle regulation are discussed, which include G1, S, M phase control, ubiquitin-mediated degradation, DNA damage response, mitotic spindle checkpoint, the centrosome cycle, Retinoblastoma protein family, the Myc oncogene, and mouse models for tumor suppressors, cyclin-dependent kinases, and meiosis. These chapters written by experts provide an updated view on how the cell cycle is regulated in vivo and about the involvement of cell cycle regulators in cancer.
