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.

Identification of autosomal regions involved in Drosophila Raf function.

TL;DR: It is found that loss of Draf activity causes limb defects, including pattern duplications, consistent with a role for Draf in regulation of engrailed (en) expression in imaginal discs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Insulin stimulates production of nitric oxide via ERK in osteoblast cells.

TL;DR: It is proposed that insulin increases iNOS mRNA, iN OS protein, and NO production, possibly via activation of ERK, which may play an important role in osteoblast functions such as collagen synthesis.

Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Phosphatase-1 Promotes Neovascularization and Angiogenic Gene Expression

TL;DR: MKP-1 promoted angiogenic and arteriogenic neovascular growth, potentially through dephosphorylation of histone H3 serine 10 on coding-region DNA to control transcription ofAngiogenic genes, such as fractalkine.
Journal ArticleDOI

Circular dichroic investigation of the native and non-native conformational states of the growth factor receptor-binding protein 2 N-terminal src homology domain 3: effect of binding to a proline-rich peptide from guanine nucleotide exchange factor.

TL;DR: From the structural changes induced by varying pH, ionic strength, temperature, or hydrophobicity of the environment, evidence for the existence of distinct nonnative conformations was obtained in the far- and near-UV domains.

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.
