Cell proliferation is regulated in several contexts, for example during development, tissue differentiation, wound healing and immune responses.
In mammalian cells, proliferative signals lead to the activation of a protein kinase cascade, resulting in the phosphorylation of two closely related Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases (MAPKs) ERK1 and ERK2.
When activated, ERKs form dimers that translocate to the nucleus where they phosphorylate several classes of transcription factors which are involved in the up-regulation of immediate early genes.
As such, Erk1 and Erk2 represent a paradigm for a growing family of proline-directed protein kinases that mediate entry, progression and exit from the cell cycle in diverse eukaryotic cells.
These enzymes function within highly conserved cascade of sequentially activating protein kinases that transducesignals from diverse extracellular stimuli.
In vertebrates the mitogen-induced sequential activation of the kinases Raf1->Mek1->Erk2->Rsk occurs via the G-protein Ras.
