MAP kinase meets mitosis: A role for Raf Kinase Inhibitory Protein in spindle checkpoint regulation
Raf Kinase Inhibitory Protein (RKIP) is an evolutionarily conserved protein that functions as a modulator of signaling by the MAP kinase cascade.

BAFF activation of the ERK5 MAP kinase pathway regulates B cell survival [PDF]
B cell activating factor (BAFF) stimulation of the BAFF receptor (BAFF-R) is essential for the homeostatic survival of mature B cells. Earlier in vitro experiments with inhibitors that block MEK 1 and 2 suggested that activation of ERK 1 and 2 MAP ...

Molecular Cloning and Characterization of a Tobacco MAP Kinase Kinase That Interacts with SIPK
A tobacco MAP kinase termed SIPK (salicylic acid-induced protein kinase) is activated in response to a variety of stress signals, including pathogen attack and wounding (S. Zhang and D. F. Klessig, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 95:7225–7230, 1998; S.

Aldosterone signaling through transient receptor potential melastatin 7 cation channel (TRPM7) and its α-kinase domain [PDF]
We demonstrated a role for the Mg2 + transporter TRPM7, a bifunctional protein with channel and α-kinase domains, in aldosterone signaling. Molecular mechanisms underlying this are elusive.

Rewiring MAP kinases in Saccharomyces cerevisiae to regulate novel targets through ubiquitination
Evolution has often copied and repurposed the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling module. Understanding how connections form during evolution, in disease and across individuals requires knowledge of the basic tenets that govern kinase ...

Mutations of the BRAF gene in human cancer [PDF]
Cancers arise owing to the accumulation of mutations in critical genes that alter normal programmes of cell proliferation, differentiation and death. As the first stage of a systematic genome-wide screen for these genes, we have prioritized for analysis ...

Inhibition of neurite outgrowth in differentiating mouse N2a neuroblastoma cells by phenyl saligenin phosphate: Effects on MAP kinase (ERK 1/2) activation, neurofilament heavy chain phosphorylation and neuropathy target esterase activity [PDF]
Sub-lethal concentrations of the organophosphate phenyl saligenin phosphate (PSP) inhibited the outgrowth of axon-like processes in differentiating mouse N2a neuroblastoma cells (IC50 2.5 μM).
