Journal ArticleDOI

c-Jun N-terminal phosphorylation correlates with activation of the JNK subgroup but not the ERK subgroup of mitogen-activated protein kinases.

TL;DR: This study suggests that two different branches of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase group are involved in the stimulation of AP-1 activity through two different mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

A new group of conserved coactivators that increase the specificity of AP-1 transcription factors

TL;DR: This work has identified a protein, JAB1, that interacts with c-Jun and JunD, but not with JunB or v-Jun, and defines a new group of coactivators that increase the specificity of target gene activation by AP-1 proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transcriptional attenuation following cAMP induction requires PP-1-mediated dephosphorylation of CREB

TL;DR: It is proposed that PP-1 specifically dephosphorylates CREB at Ser-133 and inhibits cAMP-dependent transcription, and this phosphatase is the major regulator of CREB activity in camp-responsive cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Limiting inflammation-the negative regulation of NF-κB and the NLRP3 inflammasome.

TL;DR: The key molecular mechanisms that contribute to the self-limiting nature of inflammatory signaling are discussed, with emphasis on the negative regulation of the NF-κB pathway and the NLRP3 inflammasome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Membrane targeting of the nucleotide exchange factor Sos is sufficient for activating the Ras signaling pathway

TL;DR: Targeting of Sos to the plasma membrane in the vicinity of Ras appears to be the primary mechanism leading to activation of the Ras pathway and a secondary mechanism could involve relief of the inhibitory effect of the Sos C-terminal region.
