Fig. 10.2. Components and activation of the ERK pathway. Ordering and specificity of protein kinases in the ERK pathway. ExtraceUular signals are registered via receptor tyrosine kinases and passed on to the Ras protein. Ras GTP activates protein kinases belonging to the group of MAPKK kinases (Raf kinases and MEEKs). The MAPKK kinases phosphorylate the downstream group of protein kinases, the MAPKKs at two Ser residues. The MAPKKs phosphorylate the MAPKs (ERKl and ERK2) at a Tyr and a Thr residue, and thus are classified as dual specificity kinases. MAPK mitogenic activated protein kinase ERK extracellularly regulated kinase MEK MAP/ERK kinase MAPKK MAPK kinase MAPKKK MAPKK kinase MEKK MEK kinase.

Figure 1 The MAPK pathway and its connections to other signals A negative feedback loop connects the phosphorylated endpoint of the pathway ERK (Extracellular-signal Regulated Kinase) to the transcriptionally-driven synthesis of the phosphatase, MKP MAP kinase phosphatase. MKP then de-phosphorylates ERK to shut down the signaling cascade. The positive feedback loop again starts with the terminal kinase ERK which activates cPLA2 (cytosolic phospholipase A2). This leads to the synthesis of arachidonic acid, which, in turn activates protein kinase C (PKC). PKC is a positive regulator of RAS (Please see Color Plate Section in the back of this book).

Fig. 11. Modes of action of fluorine on osteoblastic cells, (a) Tyrosine phosphatase hypothesis in osteoblastic cells, fluoride ion directly inhibits tyrosine phosphatase. Inhibition of this enzyme enhances the tyrosine phosphorylation of signalling molecules induced by receptor tyrosine kinase, which leads to activation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) through the Ras pathway and enhanced cell proliferation, (b) G-protein hypothesis in osteoblast-like cells, fluoride ions form a complex with aluminum, probably fluoroaluminate, which interacts with guanosine 5 -diphosphate (GDP) to form guanosine 5 -triphosphate (GTP)-like molecule. Activation of the G, protein stimulates the tyrosine phosphorylation of signalling molecules by a yet unknown tyrosine kinase (Tyr Kin) and activation of the ERK kinase through the Ras pathway leads to enhanced cell proliferation.
