## Abstract DUSP6/MKP‐3 is a cytoplasmic dual‐specificity phosphatase specific for the MAP kinases ERK1/2. Previous data have shown that the MEK/ERK axis exerts a retro‐control on its own signaling through transcriptional and post‐translational regulation of DUSP6. We first confirm the key role of

Abstract
The Ras‐ERK/MAP (Mitogen‐Activated Protein) kinase signaling pathway governs many cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, cell fate, homeostasis, and survival in all eukaryotes. Constitutive activation of the Ras‐ERK/MAPK signaling pathway often leads to promotion of abnormal cell growth and tumorigenesis. Although the regulation of the Ras‐ERK/MAPK signaling pathway by post‐translational modification has been well elucidated, post‐transcriptional regulations of this pathway are beginning to emerge in invertebrates and this work is extended to humans. In this review, we describe the conserved regulation of Ras‐ERK/MAPK signaling by RNA‐binding proteins (PUF, KH‐domain, HuR, and LARP) and microRNAs (let‐7 family miRNAs) and important implications for human diseases including cancers.
