Mysterious coneption ck26/3/2023 ![]() The CK2 kinase has two catalytic subunits and two regulatory subunits. The CK2 kinase is known to act in cellular signaling pathways by phosphorylating target proteins at specific serine or threonine amino acids. These experiments were done in mouse CD8+ T cells and a mouse model of infection by the intracellular pathogenic bacteria Listeria monocytogenes. Now in a study published in The Journal of Immunology, University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers report that protein kinase CK2 controls CD8+ T cell effector and memory functions during infection. ![]() CD8+ T cells also can control cancer progression by directly killing cancer cells, and through recruiting and activating other immune cells. CD8+ T cells, also known as killer T cells, are critical to maintain health by controlling infections by intracellular pathogens, including viruses and intracellular bacteria.
