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.

Ras effectors and their role in mitogenesis and oncogenesis

TL;DR: This review provides an account of the target proteins that interact with Ras and the functional consequences of these interactions, and the relative contribution of the different Ras effector pathways to the mitogenic and oncogenic effects of Ras.
Journal ArticleDOI

Macrophage migration inhibitory factor up-regulates matrix metalloproteinase-9 and -13 in rat osteoblasts. Relevance to intracellular signaling pathways.

TL;DR: This paper showed that macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) up-regulated MMP-13 mRNA of rat calvaria-derived osteoblasts, reaching the maximum level at 6-12 hours and returning to the basal level at 36 hours.
Journal ArticleDOI

SMK1, a developmentally regulated MAP kinase, is required for spore wall assembly in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the SMK1 MAP kinase participates in a developmentally regulated signal transduction pathway that coordinates cytodifferentiation events with the transcriptional program.
Journal ArticleDOI

Murine Ksr interacts with MEK and inhibits Ras-induced transformation

TL;DR: A novel mechanism for Ksr in regulating the MAP kinase pathway is suggested, at least in part through an ability to interact with MEK.

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.
