Ultraviolet Light-induced Stimulation of the JNK Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase in the Absence of Src Family Tyrosine Kinase Activation [PDF]
In T cells, the JNK mitogen-activated protein kinase is activated by simultaneous stimulation of the T-cell receptor and CD28 or by a number of stress stimuli including ultraviolet light, hydrogen peroxide, and anisomycin. Lck, a Src family kinase, is essential for T-cell receptor-mediated activation of JNK.

One of the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), c-Jun NH2-terminal protein kinase (JNK) plays an important role in regulating cell fate, such as proliferation, differentiation, development, transformation, and apoptosis.

Activation of the Sap-1a Transcription Factor by the c-Jun N-terminal Kinase (JNK) Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase [PDF]
Ternary complex factors (TCFs) bind to the serum response element in the c-fos promoter and mediate its activation by many extracellular stimuli. Some of these stimuli activate the ERK subclass of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) that target the TCF Sap-1a.

Oxidative Versus Thrombotic Stimulation of Platelets Differentially activates Signalling Pathways [PDF]
Introduction: Atherosclerosis is one of the inflammatory underlying disease associated by oxidative stress and thrombotic agents. This study aimed to evaluate the potential role of cupper oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OxLDL) and thrombin for inducing

JNK and p38 Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Pathways Contribute to Porcine Circovirus Type 2 Infection [PDF]
ABSTRACTInfection with a wide variety of viruses often perturbs host cell signaling pathways including the Jun NH2-terminal kinase/stress-activated kinase (JNK/SAPK) and the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38/MAPK), which are important components of cellular signal transduction pathways.

Diverse physiological functions for dual-specificity MAP kinase phosphatases [PDF]
A structurally distinct subfamily of ten dual-specificity (Thr/Tyr) protein phosphatases is responsible for the regulated dephosphorylation and inactivation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family members in mammals.

Dexamethasone-Induced Expression of Endothelial Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Phosphatase-1 Involves Activation of the Transcription Factors Activator Protein-1 and 3',5'-Cyclic Adenosine 5'-Monophosphate Response Element-Binding Protein and the Generation of Reactive Oxygen Species [PDF]
We have recently identified the MAPK phosphatase (MKP)-1 as a novel mediator of the antiinflammatory properties of glucocorticoids (dexamethasone) in the human endothelium. However, nothing is as yet known about the signaling pathways responsible for the

Activation of stress-activated protein kinases/c-Jun N-terminal protein kinases (SAPKs/JNKs) by a novel mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase. [PDF]
Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) kinases (MKKs) are dual-specificity protein kinases that phosphorylate and activate MAPK. We have isolated a cDNA encoding a novel protein kinase that has significant homology to MKKs. The novel kinase MKK7 has a nucleotide sequence that encodes an open reading frame of 347 amino acids with 11 kinase subdomains ...
