Mechanical stretch activates the stress-activated protein kinases in cardiac myocytes.
We have recently shown that mechanical stress activates a phosphorylation cascade of protein kinases including Raf-1 and the extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs) in cultured cardiac myocytes partially through the enhanced secretion of angiotensin II. Osmotic stress in budding yeast has been shown to activate similar signaling molecules including Hog-1, a distant relative of the ERK fam...
متن کاملA retroviral-derived immunosuppressive peptide activates mitogen-activated protein kinases.
The highly conserved region within the retroviral transmembrane envelope proteins has been implicated in a number of retrovirus-associated mechanisms of immunosuppression. CKS-17, a synthetic peptide representing the prototypic sequence of the immunosuppressive domain, has been found to suppress numerous immune functions, disregulate cytokines, and elevate intracellular cAMP. In this report we ...
متن کاملAcute hypertension activates mitogen-activated protein kinases in arterial wall.
Mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases are rapidly activated in cells stimulated with various extracellular signals by dual phosphorylation of tyrosine and threonine residues. They are thought to play a pivotal role in transmitting transmembrane signals required for cell growth and differentiation. Herein we provide evidence that two distinct classes of MAP kinases, the extracellular signal-re...
متن کامل"Stress-responsive" mitogen-activated protein kinases (c-Jun N-terminal kinases and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases) in the myocardium.
Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Cascades: Terminology and Properties The best-characterized subfamilies of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) superfamily are the extracellularly responsive kinases (ERKs) and the two “stress-responsive” MAPK subfamilies, namely, the c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) and the p38-MAPKs. As yet, no single nomenclature has been determined, and the synonyms c...
متن کاملCoordinate regulation of stress- and mitogen-activated protein kinases in the apoptotic actions of ceramide and sphingosine.
We characterized participation of the stress-activated protein kinase (SAPK) cascade in the lethal actions of the cytotoxic lipid messengers ceramide and sphingosine in U937 human monoblastic leukemia cells. Acute exposure of U937 cells to either lipid resulted in loss of proliferative capacity, degradation of genomic DNA, and manifestation of apoptotic cytoarchitecture. Ceramide robustly stimu...
