To effectively promote growth and cell division in a sustained manner, growth factors and mitogens must upregulate translation (1,2). Growth factors and mitogens induce the activation of p70 S6 kinase, which in turn phosphorylate the S6 ribosomal protein. Phosphorylation of S6 correlates with an increase in...

RIP1 belongs to the Ser/Thr protein kinase family and promotes apoptosis and activation of NF-kappaB. It associates with the intracellular domain of TNFRSF6. Ubiquitination of RIP1 regulates an NF-kappaB-independent cell-death switch in TNF signaling. It plays a critical role in tumor necrosis factor-alpha...

S6 (Ribosomal protein S6, RpS6, 40S ribosomal protein S6) is known to play a role in cell growth and proliferation. It lays downstream of both the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway as a substrate of p70 S6 kinase and the Ras/Erk pathway as a substrate of RSK. S6 is phosphorylated in response to stimulation by growth factors,...

This gene encodes a member of the RSK (ribosomal S6 kinase) family of serine/threonine kinases. This kinase contains 2 non-identical kinase catalytic domains and phosphorylates several residues of the S6 ribosomal protein. The kinase activity of this protein leads to an increase in protein synthesis and cell...
