Differential release of cellular and scrapie prion proteins from cellular membranes by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C.

abstract：:The mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are key components of cellular signal transduction pathways, which are down-regulated by the MAPK phosphatases (MKPs). Catalytic activity of the MKPs is controlled both by their ability to recognize selective MAPKs and by allosteric activation upon binding to MAPK substrat...
