Accumulating evidence indicates that ERK MAP kinase signaling plays an important role in the regulation of the circadian clock, especially in the clock-resetting mechanism in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) in mammals. Previous studies have also shown that ERK phosphorylation exhibits diurnal variation in the SCN. However, little is known about circadian regulation of ERK signaling in peripheral tissues. Here we show that the activity of Ras/ERK signaling exhibits circadian rhythms in mouse liver. We demonstrate that Ras activation, MEK phosphorylation, and ERK phosphorylation oscillate in a circadian manner. As the oscillation of ERK phosphorylation is lost in Cry1/Cry2 double-knockout mice, Ras/ERK signaling should be under the control of the circadian clock. Furthermore, expression of MAP kinase phosphatase-1 (Mkp-1) shows diurnal changes in liver. These results indicate that Ras/ERK signaling is strictly regulated by the circadian clock in liver, and suggest that the circadian oscillation of the activities of Ras, MEK, and ERK may regulate diurnal variation of liver function and/or homeostasis.(Communicated by Shigekazu NAGATA, M.J.A.).

D015398 Signal Transduction The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.

D018631 ras Proteins Small, monomeric GTP-binding proteins encoded by ras genes (GENES, RAS). The protooncogene-derived protein, PROTO-ONCOGENE PROTEIN P21(RAS), plays a role in normal cellular growth, differentiation and development. The oncogene-derived protein ONCOGENE PROTEIN P21(RAS) can play a role in aberrant cellular regulation during neoplastic cell transformation (CELL TRANSFORMATION, NEOPLASTIC).
