Serine residue 115 of MAPK-activated protein kinase MK5 is crucial for its PKA-regulated nuclear export and biological function.

Cell. Mol. Life Sci. 68 , 847-62, (2011)

The mitogen-activated protein kinase-activated protein kinase-5 (MK5) resides predominantly in the nucleus of resting cells, but p38(MAPK), extracellular signal-regulated kinases-3 and -4 (ERK3 and ERK4), and protein kinase A (PKA) induce nucleocytoplasmic re...

Leptomycins A and B, new antifungal antibiotics. I. Taxonomy of the producing strain and their fermentation, purification and characterization.

J. Antibiot. 36(6) , 639-45, (1983)

A strain of Streptomyces was found to produce new antifungal antibiotics. The active compounds were purified and separated into two substances named leptomycin A and B by high performance liquid chromatography. The molecular formulae of leptomycins A and B ar...

Leptomycins A and B, new antifungal antibiotics. II. Structure elucidation.

J. Antibiot. 36(6) , 646-50, (1983)

The structures of new antifungal antibiotics, leptomycins A and B produced by Streptomyces sp. ATS1287 were determined as described below (Fig. 1) on the basis of their spectral and chemical character. Leptomycins have unique structures which belong to the un...

Phosphorylation and dimerization regulate nucleocytoplasmic shuttling of mammalian STE20-like kinase (MST).

J. Biol. Chem. 277(14) , 12351-8, (2002)

Mammalian STE20-like kinase (MST) is a member of the yeast STE20-related kinase family and proteolytically activated by caspase during apoptosis. However, its other cellular functions are not known, including its activation mechanism, substrate(s), and subcel...

[Leptomycin: a specific inhibitor of protein nuclear export].

Regulation of estrogen receptor nuclear export by ligand-induced and p38-mediated receptor phosphorylation.

Mol. Cell. Biol. 22(16) , 5835-45, (2002)

Estrogen receptors are phosphoproteins which can be activated by ligands, kinase activators, or phosphatase inhibitors. Our previous study showed that p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase was involved in estrogen receptor activation by estrogens and MEKK1. He...

Nuclear-cytoplasmic shuttling of Axin regulates subcellular localization of beta-catenin.

Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 101(9) , 2882-7, (2004)

Wnt signaling regulates many aspects of development by increasing the signaling activity of beta-catenin. Axin is a negative regulator of the Wnt signaling pathway, and it is responsible for the formation of the beta-catenin degradation complex. Genetic studi...

ADAM17-mediated shedding of the IL6R induces cleavage of the membrane stub by gamma-secretase.

Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1803(2) , 234-45, (2010)

Interleukin-6 (IL6) signals are mediated by classic and trans-signaling. In classic signaling, IL6 first binds to the membrane bound Interleukin-6 Receptor (IL6R) whereas in trans-signaling, IL6 acts via a soluble form of the IL6R. Trans-signaling via the sol...

Novel microbial metabolites of the phoslactomycins family induce production of colony-stimulating factors by bone marrow stromal cells. I. Taxonomy, fermentation and biological properties.

J. Antibiot. 46(10) , 1503-11, (1993)

Three metabolites were isolated from the culture broth of an actinomycete strain identified as Streptomyces platensis SANK 60191, that induce the production of colony-stimulating factors (CSFs) by stromal cell line KM-102 at ED50 concentrations from 40 to 200...
