Abstract

Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) kinase (MAPKK, also known as MEK), a direct activator for MAPK/extracellular signal-regulated kinase, localizes to the cytoplasm excluded from the nucleus during signal transmission. This nuclear exclusion of MAPKK is directed by its nuclear export signal (NES), but its physiological significance has been unknown. We have found that disruption of the NES dramatically potentiates the ability of constitutively active MAPKK to induce morphological changes and malignant transformation of fibroblastic cells. Readdition of the NES sequence reversed the effects induced by the NES disruption. Moreover, we observed that a dramatic increase of activated MAPK in the nucleus was induced by the NES-disrupted MAPKK and that coexpression of MAPK phosphatase-1 (CL-100) or a kinase negative form of MAPK counteracted the phenotypes induced by the NES-disrupted MAPKK, indicating the crucial role of MAPK in the responses. These findings reveal a novel regulatory role of the NES of MAPKK that may be essential for proper signal transductions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
