Journal ArticleDOI

A Mek1-Mek2 heterodimer determines the strength and duration of the Erk signal.

TL;DR: The role of Mek1 and Mek2 in growth factor–induced Erk phosphorylation is not interchangeable, and Mek1 is established as the crucial modulator of Mek and Erk signaling.
Journal ArticleDOI

MEK1 is required for PTEN membrane recruitment, AKT regulation, and the maintenance of peripheral tolerance.

TL;DR: This work identifies MEK1 as an essential regulator of lipid/protein phosphatase PTEN, through which it controls phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate accumulation and AKT signaling and offers a conceptual framework for the observation that activation of the PI3K pathway frequently mediate resistance to MEK inhibitors and for the promising results obtained by combined MEK/PI3K inhibition in preclinical cancer models.
Journal ArticleDOI

Active site inhibitors protect protein kinase C from dephosphorylation and stabilize its mature form

TL;DR: Using homogeneously pure PKC, it is shown that the active site inhibitor Gö 6983 prevents the dephosphorylation by pure protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) or the hydrophobic motifosphatase, pleckstrin homology domain leucine-rich repeat protein phosph atase (PHLPP).
Journal ArticleDOI

Common Polymorphism in the Phosphatase PHLPP2 Results in Reduced Regulation of Akt and Protein Kinase C

TL;DR: A functional polymorphism is identified that impairs the activity of PHLPP2 and correlates with elevated Akt phosphorylation and increased PKC levels and results in reduced apoptosis.
