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.

Neither ERK nor JNK/SAPK MAP kinase subtypes are essential for histone H3/HMG-14 phosphorylation or c-fos and c-jun induction

TL;DR: The data suggest either that activation of a single MAP kinase subtype is sufficient to elicit a complete nuclear response, or that other uncharacterised routes exist.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neurosteroids' effects and mechanisms for social, cognitive, emotional, and physical functions.

TL;DR: The hypothesis is that 3alpha,5alpha-THP is a key trophic factor in SCEP and development, and it has been demonstrated that 3 alpha,5 alpha-THp facilitates social and sexual behavior of rodents, which evokes further increases in 3 Alpha, 5alpha- THP in midbrain and hippocampus, brain areas involved in S CEP.
Journal ArticleDOI

Independent binding of peptide ligands to the SH2 and SH3 domains of Grb2.

TL;DR: Study of the binding to intact Grb2 of an EGF receptor-derived phosphotyrosine-containing peptide and a Sos-derived proline-rich peptide finds no influence of SH2 binding upon SH3-mediated interactions, suggesting that the domains do not communicate and that recruitment itself of Sos to the cell surface is sufficient for Ras signaling.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of protein kinases in adaptational growth of the heart

TL;DR: Research is required to investigate cross-talk between these signal transduction pathways so that the spatial and temporal relationships that integrate the multiple signaling events leading to the adaptational growth of the ventricular myocyte may be understood.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kinase Suppressor of Ras Signals through Thr269 of c-Raf-1

TL;DR: It is shown that Thr269 is the major c-Raf-1 site phosphorylated by KSR in vitro and that phosphorylation of this site is necessary for optimal activation in response to physiologic EGF stimulation in vivo.

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.
