Stress-responsive signal transduction pathway is an important cellular defence mechanism. Its central core is the so-called Stress-Activated MAP Kinase cascade (SAPK cascade). Defects in mammalian SAPK pathways cause, not only abnormalities at the molecular and cellular levels, but also systemic diseases such as autoimmunity and cancer. In order to aide developments of new treatments for these difficult diseases, this project focused on various important subjects concerning SAPK pathways, using human, mouse, nematode, yeast, and cyanobacterium.Through this project, the novel activation mechanisms of several MAP3K enzymes, namely mammalian MTK1 and ASK1/2 and yeast Ssk2 and Ste11, were elucidated. Furthermore, we obtained numerous new findings concerning positive and negative regulations of SAPK pathways by protein phosphatases, adaptor and binding proteins, and docking interactions. Studies using nematode has revealed new roles of SAPK pathways at systemic level, such as innate immunity, tolerance to oxidative stress, and tolerance to heavy metals. The regulatory mechanism of the yeast HOG osmoregulatory SAPK pathway has been elucidated to the point that it is now considered as one of the best understood signaling pathways.Mammalian MAPK and SAPK pathways are intimately related to pathogenesis of various diseases such as autoimmunity, cancer, and infection. Thus, results from this projects are expected to aide developments of new treatments for these difficult diseases, by identifying prospective target molecules for drug development. Because the yeast SAPK pathway is an important determinant for virulence of pathogenic yeasts such as Blastomyces and Candida, the findings from this project will be also useful to develop new anti-fungal drugs.In conclusion, this project not only contributed to advancement of the immediate field of SAPK signaling in mammalian, nematode, yeast and cyanobacterium, but it also had a significant influence on other related fields.

应激反应信号转导途径是重要的细胞防御机制。其中心核心是所谓的应激激活MAP激酶级联（SAPK级联）。哺乳动物SAPK通路的缺陷不仅导致分子和细胞水平的异常，而且导致全身性疾病，如自身免疫和癌症。为了帮助开发针对这些疑难疾病的新疗法，本项目以人、小鼠、线虫、酵母和蓝藻为研究对象，围绕SAPK途径的各种重要课题，阐明了哺乳动物MTK 1和ASK 1/2以及酵母Ssk 2和Ste 11等几种MAP 3 K酶的新激活机制。此外，我们获得了许多新的发现，关于蛋白磷酸酶，接头和结合蛋白，对接相互作用的SAPK途径的积极和消极的调节。利用线虫的研究揭示了SAPK途径在系统水平上的新作用，如先天免疫、对氧化应激的耐受和对重金属的耐受。酵母HOG β调控SAPK途径的调控机制已被阐明，目前被认为是最好理解的信号转导途径之一。哺乳动物MAPK和SAPK途径与多种疾病如自身免疫、癌症和感染的发病机制密切相关。因此，该项目的结果有望通过确定药物开发的潜在靶分子来帮助开发这些困难疾病的新治疗方法。由于酵母SAPK信号通路是致病酵母如芽生菌和假丝酵母毒力的重要决定因素，因此本项目的研究结果也将有助于开发新的抗真菌药物。总之，本项目不仅对哺乳动物、线虫、酵母和蓝藻中SAPK信号通路的直接研究领域做出了贡献，而且对其他相关领域也产生了重要影响。
