Journal ArticleDOI

Phosphorylation of the MAP kinase ERK2 promotes its homodimerization and nuclear translocation.

TL;DR: The MAP kinase ERK2 is widely involved in eukaryotic signal transduction and upon activation it translocates to the nucleus of the stimulated cell, where it phosphorylates nuclear targets and forms dimers.
Journal ArticleDOI

WNK1, a Novel Mammalian Serine/Threonine Protein Kinase Lacking the Catalytic Lysine in Subdomain II

TL;DR: Mutation of this lysine residue to methionine eliminates WNK1 activity, consistent with the conclusion that it is required for catalysis, and indicates that W NK1 belongs to a novel family of serine/threonine protein kinases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vav GEFs are required for β2 integrin-dependent functions of neutrophils

TL;DR: It is shown that Vav proteins are required for multiple β2 integrin-dependent functions, including sustained adhesion, spreading, and complement-mediated phagocytosis in Vav1/Vav3-deficient neutrophils.
Journal ArticleDOI

Requirements for Vav Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factors and Rho GTPases in FcγR- and Complement-Mediated Phagocytosis

TL;DR: Analysis of primary murine macrophages shows that constitutively active Rac is able to rescue actin polymerization and complement-mediated phagocytosis in Vav-deficient macrophage, suggesting that Rac is regulated by GEFs other than Vav downstream of the FcgammaR.
