Opposing Effects of ERK and JNK-p38 MAP Kinases on Apoptosis

TL;DR: The effects of dominant-interfering or constitutively activated forms of various components of the JNK-p38 and ERK signaling pathways demonstrated that activation of JNK and p38 and concurrent inhibition of ERK are critical for induction of apoptosis in these cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (3rd edition)

Daniel J. Klionsky, +2522 more
- 21 Jan 2016 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a set of guidelines for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macro-autophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Signal transduction by the JNK group of MAP kinases.

TL;DR: This review will focus on the JNK group of MAP kinases, which are characterized by the sequence TEY and the two stress-activatedMAP kinases: p38 with the sequence TGY, and the c-Jun NH2-terminal kinases (JNK) with the sequences TPY.
Journal ArticleDOI

JNK1: A protein kinase stimulated by UV light and Ha-Ras that binds and phosphorylates the c-Jun activation domain

TL;DR: JNK1 is a component of a novel signal transduction pathway that is activated by oncoproteins and UV irradiation and its properties indicate that JNK1 activation may play an important role in tumor promotion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pro-inflammatory Cytokines and Environmental Stress Cause p38 Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase Activation by Dual Phosphorylation on Tyrosine and Threonine (∗)

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that p38, like JNK, is activated by treatment of cells with pro-inflammatory cytokines and environmental stress and the mechanism of p38 activation is mediated by dual phosphorylation on Thr-180 and Tyr-182.
