Mitogen- and Stress-Activated Protein Kinase 1 Activity and Histone H3 Phosphorylation in Oncogene-Transformed Mouse Fibroblasts
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Activation of the Ras-Raf-mitogen-activated protein/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) kinase-ERK signal transduction pathway or the SAPK2/p38 pathway results in the activation of mitogen- and stress-activated protein kinase 1 (MSK1). This activation of MSK1 leads to a rapid phosphorylation of histone H3 at Ser(10). Previously, we had demonstrated that Ser(10) phosphorylated H3 was elevated in Ciras-3 (c-Ha-ras-transformed 10T12) mouse fibroblasts and that H3 phosphatase activity was similar in Ciras-3 and 10T12 cells. Here, we demonstrate that the activities of ERK and MSK1, but not p38, are elevated in Ciras-3 cells relative to these activities in the parental 10T12 cells. Analyses of the subcellular distribution of MSK1 showed that the H3 kinase was similarly distributed in Ciras-3 and 10T12 cells, with most MSK1 being present in the nucleus. In contrast to many other chromatin modifying enzymes, MSK1 was loosely bound in the nucleus and was not a component of the nuclear matrix. Our results provide evidence that oncogene-mediated activation of the Ras-mitogen-activated protein kinase signal transduction pathway elevates the activity of MSK1, resulting in the increased steady-state levels of phosphorylated H3, which may contribute to the chromatin decondensation and aberrant gene expression observed in these cells.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
