MAP Kinase Cascades: Scaffolding Signal Specificity
نویسندگان
چکیده
Scaffold proteins organize many MAP kinase pathways by interacting with several components of these cascades. Recent studies suggest that scaffold proteins provide local activation platforms that contribute to signal specificity by insulating different MAP kinase pathways.

RACK1, scaffolding a heterotrimeric G protein and a MAPK cascade.
Scaffold proteins of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades play crucial roles in determining signal specificity, amplitude, and duration in yeast and mammals. Recently, RACK1 was identified as the first plant MAPK scaffold protein that connects heterotrimeric G protein with a MAPK cascade to form a unique signaling pathway in plant immunity.
متن کاملPrinciples of MAP kinase signaling specificity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Cells respond to a plethora of signals using a limited set of intracellular signal transduction components. Surprisingly, pathways that transduce distinct signals can share protein components, yet avoid erroneous cross-talk. A highly tractable model system in which to study this paradox is the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which harbors three mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signal tra...
متن کاملControl of MAP kinase signaling specificity or how not to go HOG wild.
Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK cascades; also called ERK cascade, for extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase) are at the center of many signal transduction pathways in eukaryotic cells. These cascades are composed of a trio of sequentially acting protein kinases that relay an extracellular physiological signal to the targets that orchestrate the appropriate cellular response. A g...
متن کاملPhosphorylation-dependent scaffolding role of JSAP1/JIP3 in the ASK1-JNK signaling pathway. A new mode of regulation of the MAP kinase cascade.
JSAP1 (also termed JIP3) is a scaffold protein that interacts with specific components of the JNK signaling pathway. Apoptosis signal-regulating kinase (ASK) 1 is a MAP kinase kinase kinase that activates the JNK and p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase cascades in response to environmental stresses such as reactive oxygen species. Here we show that JSAP1 bound ASK1 and enhanced ASK1- and...
متن کاملOrganization of kinases, phosphatases, and receptor signaling complexes.
761 The issue of specificity in cellular signaling has attracted the interest of many researchers for four decades. At its heart lies a rather simple question: How do the protein kinases and phosphatases that govern changes in the phosphorylation state of cellular proteins modify the correct substrate? This is a complex problem when one considers that over 2,000 protein kinases and 1,000 protei...
