Journal ArticleDOI
MKP-1 (3CH134), an immediate early gene product, is a dual specificity phosphatase that dephosphorylates MAP kinase in vivo
TL;DR: It is reported that a growth factor-inducible gene, 3CH134, encodes a dual specificity phosphatase that dephosphorylates and inactivates p42MAPK both in vitro and in vivo, and the name MKP-1 is proposed for this phosphat enzyme.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression of a set of growth-related immediate early genes in BALB/c 3T3 cells: coordinate regulation with c-fos or c-myc
Lester F. Lau,Daniel Nathans +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, five additional mRNAs of this class are described and all of them were superinduced in the presence of cycloheximide and reached peak levels between 40 and 120 min after serum addition and rapidly decayed thereafter.
Journal ArticleDOI
The matricellular protein CCN1 induces fibroblast senescence and restricts fibrosis in cutaneous wound healing
Joon Il Jun,Lester F. Lau +1 more
TL;DR: Fibroblast senescence is a CCN1-dependent wound healing response in cutaneous injury that functions to curb fibrosis during tissue repair.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid and preferential activation of the c-jun gene during the mammalian UV response.
TL;DR: It is found that expression of both c-jun and c-fos, which encode proteins that participate in formation of the AP-1 complex, is rapidly induced by two different DNA-damaging agents: UV and H2O2.
