CKA, a novel multidomain protein, regulates the JUN N-terminal kinase signal transduction pathway in Drosophila.
The Drosophila melanogaster JUN N-terminal kinase (DJNK) and DPP (decapentaplegic) signal transduction pathways coordinately regulate epithelial cell sheet movement during the process of dorsal closure in the embryo. By a genetic screen of mutations affecting dorsal closure in Drosophila, we have now identified a multidomain protein, connector of kinase to AP-1 (cka), that functions in the DJNK...
متن کاملDissection of the Torso signal transduction pathway in Drosophila.
Cell fate choice at the anterior and posterior embryonic termini of the Drosophila embryo requires the activation of a signal transduction pathway regulated by the receptor tyrosine kinase Torso. When Torso, which is uniformly distributed in the egg cell membrane, becomes activated locally at the termini, it triggers a phosphorylation cascade that culminates with localized expression of the tra...
متن کاملThe ethylene signal transduction pathway in plants.
Ethylene (C2H4), the chemically simplest plant hormone, is among the best-characterized plant growth regulators. It participates in a variety of stress responses and developmental processes. Genetic studies in Arabidopsis have defined a number of genes in the ethylene signal transduction pathway. Isolation of two of these genes has revealed that plants sense this gas through a combination of pr...
متن کاملThe mitogen-activated protein kinase signal transduction pathway.
Catabolic processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) is subject to regulatory control by protein kinases. We hypothesized that this regulation involves sequential activation of the enzymes mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) and extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK). In the present investigation, we provide evidence that MEK is critically involved in regulating AP...
متن کاملThe torso pathway in Drosophila: a model system to study receptor tyrosine kinase signal transduction.
In the Drosophila embryo, pecif1cation of terminal cell fates that result in the formation of both the head (acron) .and tail (telson) regions is under the control of the torso (tor) receptor tyrosine kinase. The current knowledge suggests that activation of tor at the egg pole initiates a signal transduction pathway that is mediated sequentially by the guanine nucleotide releasing factor son o...
