The protein kinase KSR interacts with 14-3-3 protein and Raf
BACKGROUND KSR (kinase suppressor of Ras) is a recently identified putative protein kinase that positively mediates the Ras signaling pathway in the invertebrates Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster. The function of vertebrate KSR is not well characterized biochemically or biologically. RESULTS We examined the physiological role of KSR in vertebrate signal transduction using Xe...
متن کاملKSR, a novel protein kinase required for RAS signal transduction
We have identified and characterized two genes in Drosophila whose products are required for activated RAS to signal with normal efficiency, but do not appear to effect signaling by activated RAF. One encodes the beta subunit of type I geranylgeranyl transferase, a prenylation enzyme essential for targeting RAS to the plasma membrane. The other encodes a protein kinase that we have named kinase...
متن کاملKinase suppressor of Ras (KSR) is a scaffold which facilitates mitogen-activated protein kinase activation in vivo.
While scaffold proteins are thought to be key components of signaling pathways, their exact function is unknown. By preassembling multiple components of signaling cascades, scaffolds are predicted to influence the efficiency and/or specificity of signaling events. Here we analyze a potential scaffold of the Ras/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, kinase suppressor of Ras (KSR), by ...
متن کاملSynergistic activation by Ras and 14-3-3 protein of a mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase named Ras-dependent extracellular signal-regulated kinase kinase stimulator.
We have identified, in Xenopus oocyte cytosol, a protein kinase named REKS (Ras-dependent extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)/mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) stimulator), which phosphorylates and activates recombinant ERK2 through recombinant MEK in a recombinant GTP gamma S (guanosine 5'-(3-O-thio)triphosphate)-Ras-dependent manner. We show here that this REKS activity is...
متن کاملBioinformatic and experimental survey of 14-3-3-binding sites
More than 200 phosphorylated 14-3-3-binding sites in the literature were analysed to define 14-3-3 specificities, identify relevant protein kinases, and give insights into how cellular 14-3-3/phosphoprotein networks work. Mode I RXX(pS/pT)XP motifs dominate, although the +2 proline residue occurs in less than half, and LX(R/K)SX(pS/pT)XP is prominent in plant 14-3-3-binding sites. Proline at +1...
