"However, both of these stimuli strongly activate two other mapks, jnk1 and jnk2, and stimulate elk-1 transcriptional activity and phosphorylation jnk phosphorylation sites include ser383 and ser389, the major residues whose phosphorylation is responsible for enhancement of elk-1 trascriptional activity."
"Subsequent studies with dominant negative elk-1, wild type, and variant gal4-elk-1 fusion proteins confirmed that phosphorylation of elk-1 at serines 383 and 389 in the c-terminal region of elk-1 is an important downstream target associated with activation of an sre by e2. Both e2 (er?-Dependent) and growth factors (er?-Independent) activated the sre in breast cancer cells via the ras/mapk pathway"
