Recurrent Alterations in the MAPK pathway in Sporadic Pyogenic Granuloma of Childhood
Pyogenic granuloma is one of the most common vascular tumours. The cause of pyogenic granuloma was previously thought to be an inflammatory reaction with consecutive stimulation of endothelial cell proliferation.

Expanding the Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) Universe: An Update on MAP4Ks
Phosphorylation-mediated signaling cascades control plant growth and development or the response to stress conditions. One of the best studied signaling cascades is the one regulated by MITOGEN-ACTIVATED PROTEIN KINASEs (MAPKs).

Comparison of peptide array substrate phosphorylation of c-Raf and mitogen activated protein kinase kinase kinase 8. [PDF]
Kinases are pivotal regulators of cellular physiology. The human genome contains more than 500 putative kinases, which exert their action via the phosphorylation of specific substrates.

The tripartite mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling cascades have been implicated in plant growth, development, and environment adaptation, but a comprehensive understanding of MAPK signaling at genome-wide level is limited in Capsicum ...

Background: Ginsenosides have been shown to exert beneficial pharmacological effects on the central nervous, cardiovascular, and endocrine systems. We sought to determine whether total ginsenosides (TG) inhibit monocrotaline (MCT)-induced pulmonary ...

Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 4 (MAP2K4) promotes human prostate cancer metastasis. [PDF]
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second leading cause of cancer death in the US. Death from PCa primarily results from metastasis. Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 4 (MAP2K4) is overexpressed in invasive PCa lesions in humans, and can be inhibited by ...

Activation of Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase (Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase/Extracellular Signal-regulated Kinase) Cascade by Aldosterone [PDF]
Aldosterone in some tissues increases expression of the mRNA encoding the small monomeric G protein Ki-RasA. Renal A6 epithelial cells were used to determine whether induction of Ki-ras leads to concomitant increases in the total as well as active levels of Ki-RasA and whether this then leads to subsequent activation of its effector mitogen-activated ...

ARABIDOPSIS ATMKK1 KNOCKOUT MUTANT FLOWERS UNDER SHORT DAY CONDITIONS [PDF]
There are a variety of conditions that regulate flowering time in Arabidopsis, but there are no reported instances mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways playing a decisive role in flowering time.

Regulation of signal duration and the statistical dynamics of kinase activation by scaffold proteins [PDF]
Scaffolding proteins that direct the assembly of multiple kinases into a spatially localized signaling complex are often essential for the maintenance of an appropriate biological response. Although scaffolds are widely believed to have dramatic effects on the dynamics of signal propagation, the mechanisms that underlie these consequences are not well ...

Multiple roles of the mitogen‐activated protein kinase kinase/mitogen‐activated protein kinase cascade in Xenopus laevis [PDF]
Mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) was originally identified as a serine/threonine protein kinase that is rapidly activated in response to various growth factors and tumor promoters in mammalian cultured cells. The kinase cascade including MAPK and its direct activator, MAPK kinase (MAPKK), is now believed to transmit various extracellular signals
