High impact information on Map2k1

  • Interestingly, we find a Golgi-associated ERK, which we propose as the likely target for MEK1 in Golgi fragmentation [10].
  • However, the known cytoplasmic substrates for MEK1, ERK1, and ERK2 are not required for this process [10].
  • Signaling via mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK1) is required for Golgi fragmentation during mitosis [10].
  • Thus the forming of complexes containing MAPKK activity and Raf-1 protein are dependent upon the activity of Ras [11].
  • Downstream effectors of CaMKI include the MAP-kinase pathway of Ras/MEK/ERK and the transcription factor CREB [12].

Associations of Map2k1 with chemical compounds

  • Phosphorylation of serine 105 enhanced the transcriptional potency of GATA4, which was sensitive to U0126 (MEK1 inhibitor) but not SB202190 (p38 inhibitor) [2].
  • In retrogradely perfused hearts, high coronary perfusion pressure (120 mm Hg for 5 minutes), norepinephrine (50 mumol/L for 5 minutes), or isoproterenol (50 mumol/L for 5 minutes) stimulated MAPK and MEK approximately 2- to 5-fold [25].
  • Finally, FHL2 partially antagonized the cardiac hypertrophic response induced by activated MEK-1, GATA4, and phenylephrine agonist stimulation [26].
  • Similarly, these inhibitors as well as inhibitors of MEK 1/2 counteracted the loss in gap-junctional communication elicited by menadione [27].
  • Contraction-stimulated phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and p38(MAPK) was completely inhibited by pretreatment with PD98059 (MAPK kinase inhibitor) and SB203580 (p38(MAPK) inhibitor), respectively [28].

Other interactions of Map2k1

  • The effect of ET-1 and PDGF BB on MEK-1 mRNA expression was maximal after 24 h (3.3-fold) or 6 h (2.9-fold) [36].
  • Incubation with PD 98059 blocked angiotensin II (AII)-dependent phosphorylation and enzymatic activity of both MEK1 and MEK2 isoforms, leading to inhibition of the phosphorylation and activation of p44(mapk) and p42(mapk) [22].
  • The rapid induction of ERK1/2 phosphorylation was completely blocked by pretreatment with a MEK1 inhibitor and was associated with a nearly complete inhibition of insulin-stimulated induction of both Egr-1and Krox20, indicating this pathway is necessary for insulin's effect on these genes [37].
  • Furthermore, cAMP response element-binding protein, a transcription factor, was also activated by suramin in a MEK-dependent manner [38].
  • Manganese-induced up-regulation of caspase-3 mRNA was partially attenuated by the pretreatment with the MEK inhibitor U0126, but not with the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) inhibitor SP600125 [39].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Map2k1

  • Immunoblotting showed that the relative abundances of MAPK and MEK protein in ventricles declined to < 20% of their postpartal abundances after 50 days [25].
  • Third, a correlation between the mid-late G(1) MEK/ERK activation in hepatocytes in vivo after partial hepatectomy and the mitogen-independent proliferation capacity of these cells in vitro was established [19].
  • These results gave a new insight of the dynamics of ERK2 and MEK in the nuclear shuttling of RBL-2H3 cells after the ligation of IgE receptors [40].
  • MATERIALS AND METHODS: Using a rat calvarial organ culture system, the inhibition of ERK phosphorylation by PD98059, a MAPK/ERK kinase 1 (MEK1) inhibitor, was assayed by immunoblotting [41].
  • Immunohistochemistry revealed that clozapine treatment elevated the number of cells in the prefrontal cortex positive for phosphoERK, the downstream substrate of MEK1/2 [42].
