The atypical MAP kinases ERK3 and ERK4 are activated by phosphorylation of a single serine residue lying within the signature sequence S-E-G in the activation loop. Thus far theregulation of ERK3 and ERK4 phosphorylation and thus activity is poorly understood. Herewe have screened mammalian dual-specificity MAP kinase phosphatases for their ability tointeract with ERK3 and ERK4 and ...

In Memoriam: Fredric S. Fay

Fred Fay died unexpectedly at 53 years of age while working with colleagues in Germany. Fred spent most of his career at the University of Massachusetts Medical School where he had been one of the founding faculty members. His biological interests were the contractile mechanisms of smooth muscle and chemotaxis, but Fred’s greatest enthusiasm was for instrumentation. Fred invented new ways to se...

In Memoriam: E S Fedorov

Among the scientists who in various ways paved the way for Laue’s discovery and for Bragg’s determination of crystal structures, there is one who occupies the most important place: E. S. Fedorov (18531919), the eminent Russian crystallographer. His most outstanding achievement is the derivation of the 230 symmetry space groups which now serve as the mathematical basis of structural analysis. Al...
