Nuclear Localization Signal and p53 Binding Site in MAP/ERK Kinase Kinase 1 (MEKK1) [PDF]
ABSTRACTPreviously, we showed that Mekk1 translocates to the nucleus, interacts with tumor suppressor protein p53, and co‐represses PKD1 transcription via an atypical p53 binding site on the minimal PKD1 promoter (JBC 285:38,818–38,831, 2010). In this study, we report the mechanisms of Mekk1 nuclear transport and p53 binding.

Signaling pathways in cerebral vasospasm
Cerebral vasospasm is a deadly complication following the rupture of intracranial aneurysms. One new development in the experimental treatment of cerebral vasospasm is the looming target of signaling pathways.

Raf Kinase Inhibitory Protein protects cells against locostatin-mediated inhibition of migration. [PDF]
Raf Kinase Inhibitory Protein (RKIP, also PEBP1), a member of the Phosphatidylethanolamine Binding Protein family, negatively regulates growth factor signaling by the Raf/MAP kinase pathway.

MOM-4, a MAP Kinase Kinase Kinase–Related Protein, Activates WRM-1/LIT-1 Kinase to Transduce Anterior/Posterior Polarity Signals in C. elegans [PDF]
In C. elegans, a Wnt/WG-like signaling pathway down-regulates the TCF/LEF-related protein, POP-1, to specify posterior cell fates. Effectors of this signaling pathway include a beta-catenin homolog, WRM-1, and a conserved protein kinase, LIT-1. WRM-1 and LIT-1 form a kinase complex that can directly phosphorylate POP-1, but how signaling activates WRM ...

Mice lacking MAP kinase phosphatase-1 have enhanced MAP kinase activity and resistance to diet-induced obesity [PDF]
The mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) play critical roles in the pathogenesis of diabetes and obesity. The MAPKs are inactivated by MAPK phosphatases (MKPs) either in the cytosol or nucleus. Here we show that mice lacking the nuclear-localized MKP, MKP-1 (mkp-1(-/-)), have enhanced Erk, p38 MAPK and c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (JNK) activities ...

Background Although substance P (SP) is an important primary afferent modulator in nociceptive processes, it is unclear whether SP regulates its own release from primary sensory neurons.
