Opposing Effects of ERK and JNK-p38 MAP Kinases on Apoptosis
TL;DR: The effects of dominant-interfering or constitutively activated forms of various components of the JNK-p38 and ERK signaling pathways demonstrated that activation of JNK and p38 and concurrent inhibition of ERK are critical for induction of apoptosis in these cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Specificity of receptor tyrosine kinase signaling: Transient versus sustained extracellular signal-regulated kinase activation
TL;DR: Experiments with PC12 cells suggest that the duration of ERK activation is critical for cell signaling decisions, and the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK-regulated) MAPK pathway may be sufficient for these cellular responses.

Mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase pathways: regulation and physiological functions.
Gray W. Pearson,Fred L. Robinson,Tara Beers Gibson,Bing E. Xu,Mahesh Karandikar,Kevin S. Berman,Melanie H. Cobb +6 more
TL;DR: Nonenzymatic mechanisms that impact MAP kinase functions and findings from gene disruption studies are highlighted and particular emphasis is on ERK1/2.

The MAPK signaling cascade.
Rony Seger,Edwin G. Krebs +1 more
TL;DR: This review highlights primarily the first MAPK cascade to be discovered that uses the MEK and ERK isoforms and describes their involvement in different cellular processes, and it is now known that signaling pathways initiated by phorbol esters, iono‐phors, heat shock, and liganda for seven transmembrane receptors use distinct MAPK cascades with little or no cross‐reactivity between them.

PD 098059 Is a Specific Inhibitor of the Activation of Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase Kinase in Vitro and in Vivo
TL;DR: The results indicate that the activation of Raf is suppressed and that its inactivation is accelerated by a downstream component(s) of the MAP kinase pathway.

The small GTP-binding protein rho regulates the assembly of focal adhesions and actin stress fibers in response to growth factors.
Anne J. Ridley,Alan Hall +1 more
TL;DR: Rho, a ras-related GTP-binding protein, rapidly stimulated stress fiber and focal adhesion formation when microinjected into serum-starved Swiss 3T3 cells, implying that rho is essential specifically for the coordinated assembly of focal adhesions and stress fibers induced by growth factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
The small GTP-binding protein rac regulates growth factor-induced membrane ruffling.
TL;DR: It is proposed that rac and rho are essential components of signal transduction pathways linking growth factors to the organization of polymerized actin and that growth factors act through rac to stimulate this rho-dependent response.

Oncogenes and signal transduction
Lewis C. Cantley,Kurt R. Auger,Christopher L. Carpenter,Brian C. Duckworth,Andrea Graziani,Rosana Kapeller,Stephen P. Soltoff +6 more
TL;DR: The protein-tyrosine kinase oncogenes will be the primary focus of the review as discussed by the authors, however, biochemical connections between the protein tyrosine Kinases and oncoproteins of the Ras,Raf,Fos,Jun, and Rel families as well as the protein kinase C family are also discussed.

Transformation of mammalian cells to antibiotic resistance with a bacterial gene under control of the SV40 early region promoter.
Peter Southern,Paul Berg +1 more
TL;DR: A bacterial gene conferring resistance to neomycin-kanamycin antibiotics has been inserted into SV40 hybrid plasmid vectors and introduced into cultured mammalian cells by DNA transfusion and it is shown that cell transformation to G418 resistance is an efficient means for cotransformation of nonselected genes.

Isolation of monoclonal antibodies specific for human c-myc proto-oncogene product.
TL;DR: In this article, six monoclonal antibodies have been isolated from mice immunized with synthetic peptide immunogens whose sequences are derived from that of the human c-myc gene product.
