Abstract

The phosphorylation of transcription factors by mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAP) is a pivotal event in the cellular response to the activation of MAP kinase signal transduction pathways. Mitogenic and stress stimuli activate different pathways and lead to the activation of distinct groups of target proteins. Elk-1 is targeted by three distinct MAP kinase pathways. In this study, we demonstrate that the MAP kinase ERK2 is targeted to Elk-1 by a domain which is distinct from, and located N-terminally to, its phosphoacceptor motifs. Targeting via this domain is essential for the efficient and rapid phosphorylation of Elk-1 in vitro and full and rapid activation in vivo. Specific residues involved in ERK targeting have been identified. Our data indicate that the targeting of different classes of MAP kinases to their nuclear substrates may be a common mechanism to increase the specificity and efficiency of this signal transduction pathway.

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.
