## Abstract Protein kinase CK2 (casein kinase II) is normally a heterotetramer composed of catalytic (α, α′) and regulatory subunits (β). CK2 is able to phosphorylate a large number of protein substrates but the physiological mechanisms of its regulation are still unresolved. Lysine‐rich peptides s

## Abstract CK1 constitutes a protein kinase subfamily that is involved in many important physiological processes. However, there is limited knowledge about mechanisms that regulate their activity. Isoforms CK1δ and CK1ε were previously shown to autophosphorylate carboxy‐terminal sites, a process w
## Abstract We studied the effect of prolonged activation of mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling on 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)~2~D~3~) action in the immortalized human prostate epithelial cell line RWPE1 and its Ki‐Ras transformed clone RWPE2. 1,25(OH)~2~D~3~‐treatment caused g
## Abstract Intermediate filament (IF) networks can be regulated by phosphorylation of unit proteins, such as vimentin, by specific kinases leading to reorganization of the IF filamentous structure. Recently, we identified mitogen‐activated protein kinase‐activated protein kinase‐2 (MAPKAP kinase‐2
## Abstract Nuclear matrix, a key structure in the nuclear framework, appears to be a particularly responsive target during heat shock treatment of cells. We have previously shown that nuclear matrix is a preferential target for protein kinase CK2 signaling in the nucleus. The levels of CK2 in the
