Abstract excerpt
We conditionally overexpressed a MEK1 mutant that contains triple mutations in the regulatory and kinase domains, and investigated its effects on the MAP kinase cascade in Swiss 3T3 cells. Expression of the mutant produced a 60% blockade in MAP kinase activity. However, only a modest blockade in DNA synthesis was observed, without any reductions in the phosphorylation of two proteins known to be substrates of MAP...
