Chemical activators of BLOC-1 related complex subunit 7 can engage various signaling pathways to facilitate its activation. Bisindolylmaleimide and Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) are known to activate Protein Kinase C (PKC), which plays a pivotal role in signaling pathways that lead to the activation of BLOC-1 related complex subunit 7. PKC can increase the phosphorylation levels of proteins within the BLOC-1 pathway, thereby promoting the assembly or enhancing the interaction of BLOC-1 related complex subunit 7 with other members of the BLOC-1 complex. Forskolin operates through a different mechanism, activating adenylate cyclase to increase cyclic AMP levels, which in turn activate Protein Kinase A (PKA). PKA then phosphorylates target proteins that can interact with and activate BLOC-1 related complex subunit 7, further influencing its functional state.
Additionally, Ionomycin raises intracellular calcium levels, leading to the activation of calcineurin, a phosphatase that can dephosphorylate certain substrates, thereby allowing for the activation of BLOC-1 related complex subunit 7. Okadaic Acid and Calyculin A inhibit protein phosphatases PP1 and PP2A, leading to a general increase in phosphorylation within the cell, which includes proteins that are part of the BLOC-1 pathway. Anisomycin activates stress-activated protein kinases, which can directly phosphorylate and activate BLOC-1 related complex subunit 7. Thapsigargin and A23187 (Calcimycin) disturb calcium homeostasis, which is a crucial secondary messenger in various signaling pathways, and its increase can activate proteins that modulate the activity of BLOC-1 related complex subunit 7. Staurosporine, although generally an inhibitor of kinases, can at low concentrations activate several kinases, which can then phosphorylate proteins within the BLOC-1 pathway, influencing the activation state of BLOC-1 related complex subunit 7. Lastly, signaling molecules like Retinoic Acid and Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) can modulate cellular processes by upregulating kinases or other modifying enzymes, potentially having a direct influence on the activation of BLOC-1 related complex subunit 7.
