Intrinsically active variants of Erk oncogenically transform cells and disclose unexpected autophosphorylation capability that is independent of TEY phosphorylation.

abstract：:With the use of the patch clamp technique, the role of cytoskeleton in the regulation of ion channels in plasma membrane of leukemic K562 cells was examined.

When bound to IgG-opsonized antigen complexes, however, FcRn traffics cargo into lysosomes, where antigen processing can occur. Here we address the mechanism of s...
