The small GTP-binding proteins Rac1 and Cdc42regulate the activity of the JNK/SAPK signaling pathway

TLDR
It is shown that in COS-7 cells, activated Ras effectively stimulates MAPK but poorly induces JNK activity, which strongly support a critical role for Rac1 and Cdc42 in controlling the JNK signaling pathway.

Rho GTPases and the Actin Cytoskeleton

TL;DR: Members of the Rho family of small guanosine triphosphatases have emerged as key regulators of the actin cytoskeleton, and through their interaction with multiple target proteins, they ensure coordinated control of other cellular activities such as gene transcription and adhesion.

Signal transduction by the JNK group of MAP kinases.

TL;DR: This review will focus on the JNK group of MAP kinases, which are characterized by the sequence TEY and the two stress-activatedMAP kinases: p38 with the sequence TGY, and the c-Jun NH2-terminal kinases (JNK) with the sequences TPY.

Mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase pathways: regulation and physiological functions.

TL;DR: Nonenzymatic mechanisms that impact MAP kinase functions and findings from gene disruption studies are highlighted and particular emphasis is on ERK1/2.

Mammalian Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Signal Transduction Pathways Activated by Stress and Inflammation

TL;DR: This review focuses on the biochemical components and regulation of mammalian stress-regulated mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways, and the nuclear factor-kappa B pathway, a second stress signaling paradigm.

Rho GTPases: Biochemistry and Biology

TL;DR: This review presents the best characterized of these biochemical pathways that control some of the most fundamental processes of cell biology common to all eukaryotes, including morphogenesis, polarity, movement, and cell division.

Specificity of receptor tyrosine kinase signaling: Transient versus sustained extracellular signal-regulated kinase activation

Christopher J. Marshall
- 27 Jan 1995 - 
TL;DR: Experiments with PC12 cells suggest that the duration of ERK activation is critical for cell signaling decisions, and the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK-regulated) MAPK pathway may be sufficient for these cellular responses.

Rho, Rac, and Cdc42 GTPases regulate the assembly of multimolecular focal complexes associated with actin stress fibers, lamellipodia, and filopodia

TL;DR: It is reported here that cdc42, another member of the rho family, triggers the formation of a third type of actin-based structure found at the cell periphery, filopodia, in addition to stress fibers, and rho controls the assembly of focal adhesion complexes.

The small GTP-binding protein rho regulates the assembly of focal adhesions and actin stress fibers in response to growth factors.

Anne J. Ridley, +1 more
- 07 Aug 1992 - 
TL;DR: Rho, a ras-related GTP-binding protein, rapidly stimulated stress fiber and focal adhesion formation when microinjected into serum-starved Swiss 3T3 cells, implying that rho is essential specifically for the coordinated assembly of focal adhesions and stress fibers induced by growth factors.

The scanning model for translation: an update.

TL;DR: The small (40S) subunit of eukaryotic ribosomes is believed to bind initially at the capped 5'-end of messenger RNA and then migrate, stopping at the first AUG codon in a favorable context for initiating translation.
