Journal ArticleDOI
A Family of Stress-Inducible GADD45-like Proteins Mediate Activation of the Stress-Responsive MTK1/MEKK4 MAPKKK
Mutsuhiro Takekawa,Haruo Saito +1 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that the GADD45-like proteins mediate activation of the p38/JNK pathway, via MTK1/ MEKK4, in response to environmental stresses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activation of yeast PBS2 MAPKK by MAPKKKs or by binding of an SH3-containing osmosensor.
TL;DR: The role of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase cascades in integrating distinct upstream signals was studied in yeast and mutants that were not able to activate PBS2 MAP kinase kinase (MAPKK; Pbs2p) at high osmolarity were characterized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Formation of stress granules inhibits apoptosis by suppressing stress-responsive MAPK pathways
TL;DR: It is reported that SG formation negatively regulates the SAPK apoptotic response, and that the signalling scaffold protein RACK1 functions as a mediator between the two responses.
Journal ArticleDOI
NF‐κB inhibits TNF‐induced accumulation of ROS that mediate prolonged MAPK activation and necrotic cell death
Sachiko Sakon,Xin Xue,Mutsuhiro Takekawa,Mutsuhiro Takekawa,Tomonari Sasazuki,Tatsuma Okazaki,Yuko Kojima,Jian Hu Piao,Hideo Yagita,Ko Okumura,Takahiro Doi,Hiroyasu Nakano,Hiroyasu Nakano +12 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated here that TNF stimulation leads to accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which is essential for prolonged mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation and cell death.
Journal ArticleDOI
p53-inducible wip1 phosphatase mediates a negative feedback regulation of p38 MAPK-p53 signaling in response to UV radiation.
Mutsuhiro Takekawa,Masaaki Adachi,Atsuko Nakahata,Ichiro Nakayama,Fumio Itoh,Hiroyuki Tsukuda,Yoichi Taya,Kohzoh Imai +7 more
TL;DR: It is reported that a member of the protein phosphatase type 2C family, Wip1, has a role in down‐regulating p38‐p53 signaling during the recovery phase of the damaged cells.
