Abstract excerpt
While studying the stress regulation of p70/85 S6 kinase (S6K), we observed that anisomycin and UV light stimulated S6K activity, but that sorbitol inactivated S6K. Pretreatment with hyperosmotic stress also prevented the activation of S6K by both 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate and anisomycin. Comparison of sorbitol and rapamycin revealed that both agents inactivated S6K and caused dephosphorylation of...
