Protein attributes
| Sequence length | 1597 AA. |
| Sequence status | Complete. |
| Protein existence | Evidence at protein level. |
General annotation (Comments)
| Function | Component of a protein kinase signal transduction cascade. Activates the CSBP2, P38 and JNK MAPK pathways, but not the ERK pathway. Specifically phosphorylates and activates MAP2K4 and MAP2K6. Ref.1 |
| Catalytic activity | ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein. |
| Cofactor | Magnesium. |
| Enzyme regulation | N-terminal autoinhibitory domain interacts with the C-terminal kinase domain, inhibiting kinase activity, and prevening interaction with its substrate, MAP2K6. The GADD45 proteins activate the kinase by binding to the N-terminal domain. Activated by phosphorylation on Thr-1494 By similarity. |
| Subunit structure | Binds both upstream activators and downstream substrates in multimolecular complexes. Interacts with AXIN1 and DIXDC1; interaction with DIXDC1 prevents interaction with AXIN1. Ref.1 Ref.3 |
| Subcellular location | Cytoplasm › perinuclear region. Note: Localized in perinuclear vesicular-like structures, probably Golgi-associated vesicles. |
| Tissue specificity | Widely expressed. High expression was found in skeletal muscle, kidney, testis followed by heart brain and lung. Low expression was found in spleen. |
| Sequence similarities | Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. STE Ser/Thr protein kinase family. MAP kinase kinase kinase subfamily. Contains 1 protein kinase domain. |
