Erk and p38 mapk-activated protein kinases: a family of protein kinases with diverse biological functions

TL;DR: The identities of the MK substrates indicate that they play important roles in diverse biological processes, including mRNA translation, cell proliferation and survival, and the nuclear genomic response to mitogens and cellular stresses.

Activation and Function of the MAPKs and Their Substrates, the MAPK-Activated Protein Kinases

TL;DR: The mechanisms of MAPKAPK activation by the different MAPKs are reviewed and their physiological roles based on established substrates and recent discoveries are discussed.

Neurotrophins and their receptors: a convergence point for many signalling pathways.

TL;DR: Recent findings that neurotrophins, in addition to promoting survival and differentiation, exert various effects through surprising interactions with other receptors and ion channels are reviewed.

MAPK cascade signalling and synaptic plasticity

TL;DR: This work has reported the involvement of a 'parallel' but distinct kinase cascade leading to the activation of p38 MAPK, which might control distinct forms of synaptic plasticity in the adult brain.

Central sensitization and LTP: do pain and memory share similar mechanisms?

TL;DR: Analysis of the molecular mechanisms underlying the generation and maintenance of central sensitization and LTP indicates that, although there are differences between the synaptic plasticity contributing to memory and pain, there are also striking similarities.

The Molecular Biology of Memory Storage: A Dialogue Between Genes and Synapses

TL;DR: This book aims to investigate elementary forms of learning and memory at a cellular molecular level—as specific molecular activities within identified nerve cells withinidentified nerve cells.

Stimulation of 3T3 cells induces transcription of the c- fos proto-oncogene

TL;DR: Transcription of the c-fos proto-oncogene is greatly increased within minutes of administering purified growth factors to quiescent 3T3 cells, and this stimulation is the most rapid transcriptional response to peptide growth factors yet described, implying a role for c- fos in cell-cycle control.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cyclic AMP stimulates somatostatin gene transcription by phosphorylation of CREB at serine 133

TL;DR: Results suggest that phosphorylation of CREB may stimulate transcription by a mechanism other than by simply providing negative charge, as CREB mutants containing acidic residues in place of the Ser-133 phosphoacceptor were also transcriptionally inactive.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transcriptional regulation by the phosphorylation-dependent factor CREB

TL;DR: The transcription factor CREB functions in glucose homeostasis, growth-factor-dependent cell survival, and has been implicated in learning and memory, and how is specificity achieved in these signalling pathways?
