Abstract excerpt
The phenotype of mitogen-activated protein kinase-activated protein kinase-2 (MK2) knockout mice revealed the essential role of this enzyme in post-transcriptional regulation of lipopolysaccharide-induced expression of cytokines such as tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, interleukin-6 and interferon-gamma, at the level of mRNA stability and translation. In the case of TNF-alpha, this regulation depends on the...
