(2005). Active ERK1 is dimerized in vivo: bisphosphodimers generate peak kinase activity and monophosphodimers maintain basal ERK1 activity. The authors would like to correct an error that occurred when they composed Fig. 2B. The revised figure panel and legend are shown below. (B) Sea urchin embryos. Active ERK1 was immunoprecipitated during the first mitotic cell cycle at time points that corresponded to maximum (6 min, NEB) and minimum activity (Unfertilized, 30 min) using an anti-dualphosphorylated ERK antibody and detected by western blotting with a second, different anti-dualphosphorylated ERK antibody or with an anti-MEK antibody (NEB sample). Arrows, active ERK1 dimers. Cell extract: whole-cell extracts are rich in ERK1 monomers as a western blot of a 30 minute post-fertilization cell extract detected with anti-ERK antibody demonstrates. It was necessary to load 150 g total cellular protein in order to obtain a detectable band at 91 kDa for comparison with the anti-dualphosphorylated ERK antibody immunoprecipitate. The positions of molecular mass markers are shown. Introduction The MAP kinase signalling pathway is universal and highly conserved throughout evolution (Pouyssegur and Lenormand, 2003). In budding and fission yeast it controls the pheromone-induced mating response (Choi et al. The same pathway is involved in signal transmission to the nucleus upon mitogenic stimulation of somatic cells (for a review, see Wilkinson and Millar, 2000). In oocytes it controls meiosis and cell cycle It is also involved in signal transduction during re-entry into the mitotic cell cycle after fertilization in sea urchin eggs (Philipova et al., 2005a; Philipova et al., 2005b; Philipova and Whitaker, 1998). Protein dimerization has been found to be a common signalling motif during the transduction of extracellular signals. For MAP kinase pathways, it has been indirectly shown that phosphorylation of ERK2 facilitates the formation of dimers in vitro. By using equilibrium sedimentation, Khokhlatchev and colleagues have found that phosphorylated ERK2 sediments in vitro primarily as an 84 kDa species whereas nonphosphorylated ERK2 sediments as a mixture of a lesser amount of the 84 kDa and a greater amount of the 42 kDa species (Khokhlatchev et al., 1998). A model of dimerized kinase has been deduced from the crystal structure of
