The pKa values for the deprotonation of a series of 4-(X-phenylsulfonylmethyl)pyridines (6) (pKa = 19.89 (X = H); ρ = 3.0) were determined in aqueous dimethyl sulfoxide solutions at 25 °C using the H0q acidity function. The pKa values were also measured for the corresponding series of N-mefhyl 4-(X-phenylsulfonylmethyl)pyridinium cations (2) (pKa = 11.27 (X = H); ρ = 1.45) and also for a series of N-(X-benzyl) 4-phenylsulfonylmethylpyridinium cations (7) (pKa = 10.70 (X = H); ρ = 0.65) in aqueous solution (ionic strength 0.1 at 25 °C).

CD28 plays a critical role in T cell immune responses. Although the kinase Akt has been shown to act downstream of CD28 in T helper (Th)1 cytokine induction, it does not induce Th2 cytokines such as interleukin 4 (IL-4). We recently reported that phosphoinositide-dependent kinase 1 (PDK1) partially corrects the defect in IL-4 production present in CD28-deficient T cells, suggesting that PDK1 regulates IL-4 independently of Akt. We now describe a signaling pathway in which PDK1 targets IL-4 in the murine Th2 cell line D10. PDK1-mediated activation of this pathway is dependent on protein kinase

The cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) is an essential regulator of lipid and glucose metabolism that plays a critical role in energy homeostasis.

We hypothesized that a high fat diet (HFD) would elicit peripheral and central alterations in the PKA system that would differ depending on length of exposure to HFD; these differences could protect against or promote diet-induced obesity (DIO).

The rate constant of replacement of the second methoxyphenylazo group is lower by a factor of ca 60.

Abstract:
Coordination of two monoprotonated 2'-deoxyguanosine 5'-monophosphate species, H(dGMP)−, via N7 to cis-(NH3)2Pt2+ gives the complex cis-(NH3)2Pt(H·dGMP)2 which is a four-protonic acid. The corresponding acidity constants were measured by potentiometric pH titrations (25℃; I = 0.1 M, NaNO3). The first two protons are released from the two -P(O)2(OH)− groups (PKa/1 = 5.57; PKa/2 = 6.29) and the next two protons are from the H(N1) sites of the guanine residues (PKa/3 = 8.73; PKa/4 = 9.48).

Abstract:
Myogenic cell differentiation is induced by Arg8-vasopressin, whereas high cAMP levels and protein kinase A (PKA) activity inhibit myogenesis. We investigated the role of type 4 phosphodiesterase (PDE4) during L6-C5 myoblast differentiation. Selective PDE4 inhibition resulted in suppression of differentiation induced by vasopressin. PDE4 inhibition prevented vasopressin-induced nuclear translocation of the muscle-specific transcription factor myogenin without affecting its overall expression level. The effects of PDE4 inhibition could be attributed to an increase of cAMP levels and PKA activit

The corpus luteum formed after luteinization of follicular cells secretes progesterone under the control of luteinizing hormone (LH). Binding of LH to its G-protein-coupled receptor leads to the activation of the adenylate cyclase/ cyclic AMP (cAMP)/cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) signalling pathway. The identification of a new class of cAMP-binding proteins termed ‘guanine nucleotide exchange factors’ (cAMP-GEFs) provides a means by which changes in cAMP could yield actions that are independent of PKA.

The data indicate that one of the haem propionic acid substituents of ferricytochrome c has a pKa of less than 4.5, whereas the other has a pKa of greater than 9.

Although multiple stresses converge on eIF2α phosphorylation, the cellular outcome is not always the same.
