Elegant experimental demonstration that in mammalian cells, the MARK cascade can operate as a switch with different sensitivity to the input signals from the plasma membrane or from the cytoplasm. Positive feedback loops that might encircle the MEK/ERK module in different cell types are not required for the switch-like behavior.

Demonstrated that the propagation of phosphorylation signals solely by diffusion can be terminated by cytoplasmic phosphatases. Motor-driven trafficking of endosomes and scaffolds that carry phosphorylated kinases/signalling complexes can be required for the transfer of signals, especially across large cells.

Nature Cell Biol. 5, 447-453 (2003). Using single-cell live monitoring, the lateral propagation of EGFR activation was demonstrated and explained by a membrane wave of receptor phosphorylation that is triggered by bistability emerging in the EGFR activation/deactivation network. Bistability is thought to arise from inhibition of protein phosphatases by EGFR-mediated production of reactive oxygen species (reviewed in reference 27).
