TLDR
Recent advances have shown that in two MAP kinase pathways (the mating response pathway in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, and receptor tyrosine kinase signalling), the small GTP binding protein ras p21 links membrane events to kinase pathway activation.

Ligation of the α2M Signalling Receptor Elevates the Levels of p21Ras-GTP in Macrophages

TL;DR: The mitogenic effects of ligating alpha2MSR are mediated through a Ras-dependent pathway, and the formation of p2 Ras-GTP in murine peritoneal macrophages upon treatment with alpha2M-methylamine and RBF is studied.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased activity of MAP, p70S6 and p90rs kinases is associated with AP-1 activation in spontaneous liver tumours, but not in adjacent tissue in mice.

TL;DR: Constitutively activated kinases and AP-1 transcription factor found in hepatic malignancies are reminiscent of cells activated by EGF, suggesting that EGF and its intracellular effectors play a role in these malignancy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Osmostress induces autophosphorylation of Hog1 via a C-terminal regulatory region that is conserved in p38α.

TL;DR: It is shown that the yeast MAPK Hog1, known to be activated by the MAP2K Pbs2, is activated in pbs2Δ cells via an autophosphorylation activity that is induced by osmotic pressure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cellular response to bioactive lipid peroxidation products.

TL;DR: It is argued that lipid mediators could induce a cellular process that represents a cellular defense program against toxic compounds, in which aldehyde-stimulated detoxification response is mediated by cyclooxygenase metabolites.
Journal ArticleDOI

Requirement for Metalloproteinase‐dependent ERK and AKT Activation in UVB‐induced G1‐S Cell Cycle Progression of Human Keratinocytes

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that low doses of UVB induce keratinocyte proliferation and cell cycle progression of human HaCaT keratinocytes and metalloproteinase (MP) inhibitor GM6001 blocked UVB‐induced ERK and AKT activation,cell cycle progression, and decreased the EGFR phosphorylation, demonstrating that MPs mediate the EG FR/ERK/AKT/cyclin D1 pathways and cell Cycle progression induced by UVB radiation.

Mammalian Ras interacts directly with the serine/threonine kinase Raf

TL;DR: Raf interacts with wild-type and activated Ras, but not with an effector domain mutant of Ras or with a dominant-interfering Ras mutant, and this interaction is dependent on GTP bound to Ras.
Journal ArticleDOI

ERKs: A family of protein-serine/threonine kinases that are activated and tyrosine phosphorylated in response to insulin and NGF

TL;DR: Cl cloning and characterization of two ERK1-related kinases, ERK2 and ERK3, are described and evidence suggesting that there are additional ERK family members is provided, which may serve as intermediates that depend on tyrosine phosphorylation to activate serine/threonineosphorylation cascades.
Journal ArticleDOI

cPLA2 is phosphorylated and activated by MAP kinase.

TL;DR: Treatment of cells with agents that stimulate the release of arachidonic acid causes increased serine phosphorylation and activation of cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2).
Journal ArticleDOI

Phosphorylation of c- jun mediated by MAP kinases

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that mitogen-activated protein-serine (MAP) kinases (pp54 and pp42/44) specifically phosphorylate these sites and that their phosphorylation positively regulates the transacting activity of c-jun.
Journal ArticleDOI

Raf-1 activates MAP kinase-kinase.

TL;DR: Results indicate that c-Raf-1 is an immediate upstream activator of MAPK-K in vivo, the first physiological substrate of the c-raf-l protooncogene product to be identified.
