Abstract:Expression of VACM‐1/cul‐5 gene in endothelial and in cancer cell lines in vitro inhibits cellular proliferation and decreases phosphorylation of mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK). Structure‐function analysis of VACM‐1 protein sequence identified consensus sites specific for phosphorylation by protein kinases PKA and PKC. Mutations at the PKA specific site in VACM‐1 (S730AVACM‐1) sequence resulted in increased cellular growth of rat endothelial cells, RAMEC. The aim of our study was to examine if PKC act… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
