## Abstract MAP kinase (MAPK) and its activator, MAP kinase kinase (MAPKK), are commonly activated by a variety of extracellular stimuli in mammalian cells and in the process of __Xenopus__ occyte maturation. In order to investigate the function of the MAPK cascade in oocyte maturation, we produced

We have studied in cultured rat astroglial cells MAP kinases, known for their role in intracellular signal transduction. The MAP kinase activity was stimulated by growth factors (FGFb, FGFa, EGF, PDGF, and IGFl), by a phorbol ester (TPA) activating-protein kinase C (PKC), by a neuropeptide (endothel
## Abstract One approach to understanding behavior is to define the cellular components of neuronal circuits that control behavior. In the nematode __Caenorhabditis elegans__, neuronal circuits have been delineated based on patterns of synaptic connectivity derived from ultrastructural analysis. In
Erosive osteolysis induced by implant-derived wear debris is mediated by recruitment and activation of osteoclasts in a pro-inflammatory microenvironment that is enriched with osteoclastogenic and pro-inflammatory cytokines such as RANKL and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha). These cytokines a
Some protein kinases operate in more than one mitogen-activated protein-kinase (MAPK) cascade. We here address the question whether specificity of the cascades necessitates physical sequestration of these "promiscuous" kinases (e.g. by binding to scaffolds). A model is constructed, in which two MAPK
We have isolated and characterized cellular kinases which associate with the transactivation domain of c-Myc and phosphorylate Ser-62. We demonstrate that cellular Map kinases associate with c-Myc under stringent conditions and phosphorylate Ser-62. We also find that TPA stimulates the activity of t
