Kinase 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 کاملKinase Suppressor of Ras Is Ceramide-Activated Protein Kinase
A proline-directed serine/threonine ceramide-activated protein (CAP) kinase mediates transmembrane signaling through the sphingomyelin pathway. CAP kinase reportedly initiates proinflammatory TNF alpha action by phosphorylating and activating Raf-1. The present studies delineate kinase suppressor of Ras (KSR), identified genetically in Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila, as CAP kinase. Mouse...
متن کاملIQGAP1 is a scaffold for mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling.
IQGAP1 modulates many cellular functions such as cell-cell adhesion, transcription, cytoskeletal architecture, and selected signaling pathways. We previously documented that IQGAP1 binds extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 2 and regulates growth factor-stimulated ERK activity. Here we show that MEK, the molecule immediately upstream of ERK in the Ras/mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kina...
متن کاملSustained activation of Ras/Raf/mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade by the tumor suppressor p53.
The p53 tumor suppressor gene can inhibit proliferation transiently, induce permanent cell-cycle arrest/senescence, or cause apoptosis depending on the cellular context. The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade is known to play a crucial role in cell proliferation and differentiation. Moreover, the duration and intensity of MAPK activation can profoundly influence the biological resp...
