Autophagic cell death associated to Sorafenib in renal cell carcinoma is mediated through Akt inhibition in an ERK1/2 independent fashion. [PDF]
OBJECTIVES:To fully clarify the role of Mitogen Activated Protein Kinase in the therapeutic response to Sorafenib in Renal Cell Carcinoma as well as the cell death mechanism associated to this kinase inhibitor, we have evaluated the implication of ...

Genomic structure of carp mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 1 gene [PDF]
Carp mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 1 (cMKK1) gene was isolated from a liver genomic library. The sequence around the exon-intron boundaries and 2 kb of the promoter region were determined. Our data indicate that this gene is composed of 11 exons and 10 introns spanning about 9 kb. Multiple potential transcription initiation sites were located

Rapamycin Induces Mitogen-activated Protein (MAP) Kinase Phosphatase-1 (MKP-1) Expression through Activation of Protein Kinase B and Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase Kinase Pathways [PDF]
Mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase-1 (MKP-1), also known as dual specificity phosphatase-1 (DUSP-1), plays a crucial role in the deactivation of MAPKs. Several drugs with immune-suppressive properties modulate MKP-1 expression as part of their mechanism of action. We investigated the effect of mTOR inhibition through rapamycin and a dual mTOR

Regulation of mitogen-activated protein kinase by protein kinase C and mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase-1 in vascular smooth muscle [PDF]
Vascular smooth muscle contraction is primarily regulated by phosphorylation of myosin light chain. There are also modulatory pathways that control the final level of force development. We tested the hypothesis that protein kinase C (PKC) and mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase modulate vascular smooth muscle activity via effects on MAP kinase ...

ASK1 Mediates Nur77 Expression in T-Cell Receptor Mediated Thymocyte Apoptosis
: Apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) is a mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase (MAPKKK) that activates downstream JNK and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) to relay death signals into cells in response to various ...

Age-dependent motor dysfunction due to neuron-specific disruption of stress-activated protein kinase MKK7. [PDF]
c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) is a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase family and controls various physiological processes including apoptosis. A specific upstream activator of JNKs is the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 7 (MKK7).

The many-faced KSR1: a tumor suppressor in breast cancer [PDF]
Emerging evidence supports the dual function of kinase suppressor of Ras 1 (KSR1) as an active kinase and a scaffold, although it has been extensively referred as a pseudokinase, due to the absence of key residues in its catalytic domain [1, 2].

Big Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase 1 (BMK1) Is a Redox-sensitive Kinase [PDF]
Mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases are a multigene family activated by many extracellular stimuli. There are three groups of MAP kinases based on their dual phosphorylation motifs, TEY, TPY, and TGY, which are termed extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases (ERK1/2), c-Jun N-terminal kinases, and p38, respectively.
