    Abstract Protein kinase C (PKC) isozymes are maintained in a 'ready-to-go' but 'safe' autoinhibited conformation until second messenger binding unleashes an autoinhibitory pseudosubstrate to allow substrate phosphorylation. However, to gain this 'ready-to-go' conformation, PKC must be processed by a series of complex priming phosphorylations, the mechanism of which was enigmatic until now. Recent findings snapped the pieces of the phosphorylation puzzle into place to unveil a process that involves a newly described motif (TOR interaction motif, TIM), a well-described kinase [mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 2 (mTORC2)], and an often-used mechanism (autophosphorylation) to prime PKC to signal. This review highlights new insights into how phosphorylation controls PKC and discusses them in the context of common mechanisms for AGC kinase regulation by phosphorylation and autophosphorylation.

  4. Article ; Online: mTOR Regulation of AGC Kinases: New Twist to an Old Tail.

    Abstract The family of AGC kinases not only regulates cellular biology by phosphorylating substrates but is itself controlled by phosphorylation. Phosphorylation generally occurs at two conserved regions in these kinases: a loop near the entrance to the active site, termed the activation loop, that correctly aligns residues for catalysis, and a C-terminal tail whose phosphorylation at a site termed the hydrophobic motif stabilizes the active conformation. Whereas phosphorylation of the activation loop is well established to be catalyzed by the phosphoinositide-dependent kinase 1, the mechanism of phosphorylation of the C-tail hydrophobic motif has been controversial. For a subset of AGC kinases, which include most protein kinase C (PKC) isozymes and Akt, phosphorylation of the hydrophobic motif in cells was shown to depend on mTORC2 over 15 years ago, yet whether this was by direct phosphorylation or by another mechanism has remained elusive. The recent identification of a novel and evolutionarily conserved phosphorylation site on the C-tail, termed the TOR interaction motif (TIM), has finally unraveled the mystery of how mTORC2 regulates its client kinases. mTORC2 does not directly phosphorylate the hydrophobic motif; instead, it converts kinases such as PKC and Akt into a conformation that can ultimately autophosphorylate at the hydrophobic motif. Identification of the direct mTOR phosphorylation that facilitates autoregulation of the C-tail hydrophobic motif revises the activation mechanisms of mTOR-regulated AGC kinases. This new twist to an old tail opens avenues for therapeutic intervention. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: The enzyme mTORC2 has been an enigmatic regulator of AGC kinases such as protein kinase C (PKC) and Akt. The recent discovery of a motif named the TOR interaction motif in the C-tail of these kinases solves the mystery: mTORC2 marks these kinases for maturity by, ultimately, facilitating autophosphorylation of another C-tail site, the hydrophobic motif.

    Abstract We develop a finite-cell model of tumor natural selection dynamics to investigate the stochastic fluctuations associated with multiple rounds of adaptive chemotherapy. The adaptive cycles are designed to avoid chemoresistance in the tumor by managing the ecological mechanism of competitive release of a resistant subpopulation. Our model is based on a three-component evolutionary game played among healthy (H), sensitive (S), and resistant (R) populations of N cells, with a chemotherapy control parameter, C(t), which we use to dynamically impose selection pressure on the sensitive subpopulation to slow tumor growth and manage competitive release of the resistant population. The adaptive chemoschedule is designed based on the deterministic (N→∞) adjusted replicator dynamical system, then implemented using the finite-cell stochastic frequency dependent Moran process model (N=10K-50K) to ascertain the cumulative effect of the stochastic fluctuations on the efficacy of the adaptive schedules over multiple rounds. We quantify the stochastic fixation probability regions of the R and S populations in the HSR trilinear phase plane as a function of the control parameter C∈[0,1], showing that the size of the R region increases with increasing C. We then implement an adaptive time-dependent schedule C(t) for the stochastic model and quantify the variances (using principal component coordinates) associated with the evolutionary cycles over multiple rounds of adaptive therapy. The variances increase subquadratically through several rounds before the evolutionary cycle begins to break down. Despite this, we show the stochastic adaptive schedules are more effective at delaying resistance than standard maximum tolerated dose and low-dose metronomic schedules. The simplified low-dimensional model provides some insights on how well multiple rounds of adaptive therapies are likely to perform over a range of tumor sizes (i.e., different values of N) if the goal is to maintain a sustained balance among competing subpopulations of cells to avoid chemoresistance via competitive release in a stochastic environment.

    Abstract Objectives: To examine the relationship between edentulism and the progress of multimorbidity, and the role of nutritional intake and behaviours among older Americans.
    Methods: We used 7 waves (2006-2018) of the Health and Retirement Study, a longitudinal survey of older Americans (number included in analysis 2,224). Edentulism was assessed in 2006 and 2012. Multimorbidity was indicated by 5 self-reported conditions: diabetes, heart conditions, lung diseases, cancer, and stroke. Behavioural factors were smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, physical activity, and body mass index. Nutritional intake was calculated by summing 10 nutrients (Protein, Vitamins C, D, B12, E, Calcium, Zinc, Polyunsaturated fatty acids, Folate and ß- carotene). Multilevel models for analysis of longitudinal data were used to assess the association between change in repeated measures of multimorbidity (between 2006 and 2018) and edentulism (2006) adjusting for nutritional intake, behavioural and socioeconomic factors.
    Results: Participants who were edentate in 2006 and 2012 had higher rate-ratios (RR) for change in multimorbidity between 2006 to 2018 (RR: 1.29 and 1.28, respectively). After adjusting for socioeconomic factors, total nutrients and behavioural factors, these RR attenuated to 1.12 (95%CI: 1.06, 1.18) and 1.10 (95%CI: 1.05, 1.16), respectively. Total nutrition was negatively associated with progress of multimorbidity, but after adjusting for socioeconomic and behavioural factors the association became insignificant. Total nutrients rates in 2013 were significantly lower among those who were edentate in 2006 and 2012.
    Conclusion: There was a longitudinal association between edentulism and progress of multimorbidity. The relationship appeared to be mediated be behaviours and nutrition.

    Abstract COVID-19 has made working from home routine for many. People who have had to maintain their productivity, particularly in physically and/or socially unacceptable home-working situations, experienced one of the pandemic's disadvantages. The experience can vary substantially among individuals as well as by country. This study presents the results of a comparative study of the Netherlands and Korea. Working from home was not uncommon in the Netherlands before the pandemic; however, in Korea, employers adopted working from home from its start, and that increased rapidly. An online survey enabled us to compare the physical and social conditions of current home workspaces in both countries, to understand how well-equipped they were to support people who had to work from home. We studied the changes in productivity and physical/mental health before and during COVID-19, to learn how people coped with working from home in both countries. Contrary to expectations, Koreans showed better scores than people in the Netherlands, in terms of changes in health and productivity. This article discusses various aspects of that result, such as satisfaction with home workspace, housing type, job position and prior experience, compulsoriness, and frequency of working from home. Relieving stress and concentration appeared to be the most important dimensions of telecommuters' satisfaction with working from home environments in both countries. The results are the basis for suggesting the development of strategies for a desirable WFH environment, considering different background contexts, experiences and cultures.
