A research group has discovered that in mammals, a protein kinase A (PKA) promotes wakefulness, while protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) and calcineurin promote sleep. This study revealed that the balance ...
WNKs sense osmotic pressure by binding specific water molecules to the inactive dimeric configuration of WNK1 and WNK3, integrating signals with chloride inhibition as demonstrated by mutagenesis and ...
