Popis: In this study we investigated the effect of Listeria monocytogenes infection on the activation of the Raf-MEK-MAP kinase pathway in eukaryotic host cells. HeLa cell infection with L. monocytogenes EGD resulted in a rapid, but transient, phosphorylation of the MAP kinases erk-1 and erk-2, a transient phosphorylation of the MAP kinase kinase MEK-1, and a transient activation of the MAP kinase kinase kinase Raf. In parallel to the transient phosphorylation of the MAP kinases, we detected induced expression of the MAP kinase phosphatase MKP-1. Additionally we present evidence that listeriolysin O is the inducing agent for activation of the Raf-MEK-MAP kinase pathway.
