Journal ArticleDOI
Mammalian thioredoxin is a direct inhibitor of apoptosis signal-regulating kinase (ASK) 1.
Masao Saitoh,Hideki Nishitoh,Makiko Fujii,Kohsuke Takeda,Kei Tobiume,Yasuhiro Sawada,Masahiro Kawabata,Kohei Miyazono,Hidenori Ichijo +8 more
TL;DR: Evidence that Trx is a negative regulator of ASK1 suggests possible mechanisms for redox regulation of the apoptosis signal transduction pathway as well as the effects of antioxidants against cytokine‐ and stress‐induced apoptosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Force Sensing by Mechanical Extension of the Src Family Kinase Substrate p130Cas
Yasuhiro Sawada,Masako Tamada,Benjamin J. Dubin-Thaler,Oksana Cherniavskaya,Ryuichi Sakai,Sakae Tanaka,Michael P. Sheetz +6 more
TL;DR: This work mechanically extended bacterially expressed Cas substrate domain protein (CasSD) in vitro and found a remarkable enhancement of phosphorylation by Src family kinases with no apparent change in kinase activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reciprocal Role of ERK and Nf-κb Pathways in Survival and Activation of Osteoclasts
Tsuyoshi Miyazaki,Hideki Katagiri,Yumi Kanegae,Hiroshi Takayanagi,Yasuhiro Sawada,Aiichiro Yamamoto,Mattew P. Pando,Tomoichiro Asano,Inder M. Verma,Hiromi Oda,Kozo Nakamura,Sakae Tanaka +11 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that ERK is responsible for osteoclast survival, whereas NF-κB regulates osteoc Last activation for bone resorption, which is different from the role of mitogen-activated protein kinase and nuclear factor kappa B on osteocline survival and activation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activation of a Signaling Cascade by Cytoskeleton Stretch
TL;DR: It is suggested that mechanical force on Triton cytoskeletons activates local tyrosine phosphorylation, which provides docking sites for cytosolic proteins, and initiates signaling to activate Rap1.
Journal ArticleDOI
Force transduction by Triton cytoskeletons
TL;DR: The stretch-dependent binding of cytoplasmic proteins to Triton X-100 cytoskeletons of L-929 cells grown on collagen-coated silicone suggests that transduction of matrix forces occurs through force-dependent conformation changes in the integrated cytoskeleton.
