    Alberto C Vitari
    MRC Protein Phosphorylation Unit, School of Life Sciences, MSI WTB complex, University of Dundee, Dow Street, Dundee DD1 5EH, Scotland, UK
    Biochem J 378:257-68. 2004
    ..These results provide the first connection between the PI 3-kinase/PKB pathway and WNK1, suggesting a mechanism by which this pathway may influence blood pressure...

    MRC Protein Phosphorylation Unit, School of Life Sciences, MSI WTB complex, University of Dundee, Dow Street, Dundee DD1 5EH, Scotland, UK
    Biochem J 391:17-24. 2005
    ..Our analysis also describes the first facile assay that can be employed to quantitatively assess WNK1 and WNK4 activity...

    MRC Protein Phosphorylation Unit, School of Life Sciences, MSI WTB complex, University of Dundee, Dow Street, Dundee DD1 5EH, Scotland, UK
    Biochem J 397:223-31. 2006
    ..These data establish that the CCT domain functions as a multipurpose docking site, enabling SPAK/OSR1 to interact with substrates (NKCC1) and activators (WNK1/WNK4)...
  4. ncbi Regulation of activity and localization of the WNK1 protein kinase by hyperosmotic stress
    Anna Zagorska
    Medical Research Council Protein Phosphorylation Unit, School of Life Sciences, Medical Sciences Institute Wellcome Trust Biocentre Complex, University of Dundee, Dundee DD1 5EH, Scotland, UK
    J Cell Biol 176:89-100. 2007
    ..Mutational analysis suggests that the WNK1 C-terminal noncatalytic domain mediates vesicle localization. Our observations shed light on the mechanism by which WNK1 is regulated by hyperosmotic stress...
