Synthetic Biology: Modulating the MAP Kinase Module
In a recent study, the MAP kinase module involved in many human cancers has been reconstructed in yeast, in order to tinker with its behavior.
متن کاملMAP Kinase Module: The Ksr Connection
Ksr has been genetically defined as a component of the Ras/MAP kinase pathway, but its role has been unclear. New studies now provide evidence that Ksr is important for signal transmission within the MAP kinase module, where it apparently acts as a location-regulated scaffold connecting MEK to Raf.
متن کاملEthical Debates on Synthetic Biology
Background: As an emerging interdisciplinary area of science with a multitude of potential facilities and applications, synthetic biology integrates different disciplines with one another ranging from basic science to engineering. This interdisciplinary branch therefore encompasses sciences that require specific development and ethical approaches. Materials and Methods: Science management princ...
متن کاملA mitotically inheritable unit containing a MAP kinase module.
Prions are novel kinds of hereditary units, relying solely on proteins, that are infectious and inherited in a non-Mendelian fashion. To date, they are either based on autocatalytic modification of a 3D conformation or on autocatalytic cleavage. Here, we provide further evidence that in the filamentous fungus Podospora anserina, a MAP kinase cascade is probably able to self-activate and generat...
متن کاملTunable Signal Processing in Synthetic MAP Kinase Cascades
The flexibility of MAPK cascade responses enables regulation of a vast array of cell fate decisions, but elucidating the mechanisms underlying this plasticity is difficult in endogenous signaling networks. We constructed insulated mammalian MAPK cascades in yeast to explore how intrinsic and extrinsic perturbations affect the flexibility of these synthetic signaling modules. Contrary to biphasi...
