Mapk Pathways Flashcards
What are the 3 main mapk in humans
P38 a-d , jnk 1-4, erk 1/2
What are the mapkk in all 3 mapk pathways in humans
Mek 1-7
Which Mek mapkk is shared by jnk and p38
Mek 4
What type of responses does erk do
Proliferation, diff, development , survival, migration
What are the 4 major signals for erk pathway via grb2 activation via sh2 etc
Egf (egfr)
Pdgf (pdgfr)
Insulin (ir)
Ngf (ngfr)
What is pdgf signalling for
Wound healing
What is ngf signalling for
Growth of neurones
What other 2 mapkk activate / phosphorylate erk
Mos and tpl2
What is mos for
Activates both p38 and erk to induce nfkb production which is a tf for things like survival
What does tpl2 do
Regulation of tumours via erk
What cytoplasmic effect does erk have
Pla2 phospholipase a2 production which allows formation of arachidonic acid which used to produce pge2 etc
Which 2 tf are activated as nuclear targets of erk and why
C Fos and c myc
C fos (ap 1 tf)
What does c myc do
Control elongation in txn
What things does c fos ap1 regulate
Genes for pro, differentiation, apoptosis
Which 2 phosphatases de phosphorylate erk
Ptp- sl (Dephos phosphotyrosine residues)
Dusps (dephos tyrosine, thr and ser residues)
What treatments have been targeting erk pathway for cancer
Receptor mutation treatment
Ras blocking to membrane
Raf inhibitors
Mek inhibitors
Combination (eg Mek and raf inhibitors)
What melanoma treatment was used to target erk
Raf inhibitor
What are the main issues in erk cancer treatment
Relapse
What are the major signals for p38 pathway
Osmotic stress, cytokines eg il1, death receptors, oxidative stress
What are the 5 mapkkk in p38 path
Mekk 1-4, ask1, dlk
What is ask1 mapkkk for
Apoptosis response via p38
What is dlk mapkkk for
Neurodegeneration control
