Signaling Activates NF-kB In this regard, Ras is known to stimulate both the Raf/MEK / ERK pathway as well as the MEKK/SEK/JNK pathway (3–7). Transcriptional Activity, Which Activation of these and other protein kinase cascades (8 –10) is Is Required for Cellular critical for the ability of Ras to exert both its normal and oncogenic functions. The ultimate targets of the Ras-induced Transformation* signal transduction pathways are transcription factors (see Ref. 4), which regulate the expression of genes involved in (Received for publication, June 16, 1997, and in revised form, proliferation and oncogenesis. Two transcription factors, Ets July 22, 1997) and c-Jun, have been shown to be essential for Ras-induced Timothy S. Finco‡§¶, John K.
