MAP kinase kinase kinase, MAP kinase kinase and MAP kinase.

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.

Antioxidant responses and cellular adjustments to oxidative stress.

TL;DR: The role of crucial cellular nucleophiles, such as glutathione, and their capacity to interact with oxidants and to establish networks with other critical enzymes such as peroxiredoxins are focused on.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential regulation of MAP kinase signalling by dual-specificity protein phosphatases

TL;DR: In this paper, a negative feedback control mechanism was proposed for mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) to regulate dephosphorylation of MAPKs in mammalian cells, which is mediated by differential expression and activities of a family of 10 dual-specificity (Thr/Tyr) MAPK phosphatases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protein–protein interactions define specificity in signal transduction

TL;DR: The underlying biochemical mechanisms through which specificity is generated during signal transduction are addressed, and the means by which signaling molecules may act in combination to generate complex biological responses are pursued.
Journal ArticleDOI

ErbB-2 is a common auxiliary subunit of NDF and EGF receptors: implications for breast cancer

TL;DR: The results imply that ErbB‐2 is a pan‐ErbB subunit of the high affinity heterodimeric receptors for NDF and EGF, which may be due to its ability to potentiate in trans growth factor signaling.
Journal ArticleDOI

The activities of two Ets-related transcription factors required for drosophila eye development are modulated by the Ras/MAPK pathway

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that yan can repress transcription and that this repression activity is negatively regulated by the Ras1/MAPK signal, most likely through direct phosphorylation of yan by MAPK.

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.
