Abstract excerpt
cGMP-dependent protein kinase-I (cGK-I) induces apoptosis in various cancer cell lines. However, the signaling mechanisms involved remain unknown. Using protein microarray technology, we identified a novel cGK substrate, death-associated protein kinase 2 (DAPK2), which is a Ca(2+)/calmodulin-regulated serine/threonine kinase. cGK-I phosphorylated DAPK2 at Ser(299), Ser(367) and Ser(368). Interestingly, a...
