Community Analysis of PKA: A Dynamic View of Kinase Architecture

Notes on a 2014 PNAS paper analyzing PKA dynamics through community analysis.

CASK Functions as a Mg²⁺-Independent Neurexin Kinase

The study redefines CASK as an active Mg²⁺-independent kinase that phosphorylates neurexin, integrating scaffolding and enzymatic functions, challenging its previous classification as a pseudokinase.
