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 ...

A selective and sensitive method for the presence of three new benzothiazole ABAD i...
