Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases are ubiquitous components of many signal transduction pathways. Constitutively active variants have been isolated for every component of the extracellular-signal-regulated kinase 1 (ERK1) and ERK2 MAP kinase pathway except for the ERK itself. RESULTS: To create an activated ERK2 variant, we fused ERK2 to the low activity form of its upstream regulator, the MAP...
