General annotation (Comments)

Function

Component of a protein kinase signal transduction cascade. Activates the ERK and JNK kinase pathways by phosphorylation of MAP2K1 and MAP2K4. Activates CHUK and IKBKB, the central protein kinases of the NF-kappa-B pathway. Ref.6

Catalytic activity

ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.

Cofactor

Magnesium.

Enzyme regulation

Activated by autophosphorylation on Thr-1381 and Thr-1393 following oligomerization. Ref.5 Ref.6

Subunit structure

Binds both upstream activators and downstream substrates in multimolecular complexes through its N-terminus. Oligomerizes after binding MAP4K2 or TRAF2. Interacts with AXIN1. Interacts (via the kinase catalytic domain) with STK38 By similarity. Ref.6 Ref.7

Tissue specificity

Highly expressed in the heart and spleen while a lower level expression is seen in the liver.

Post-translational modification

Autophosphorylated. Ref.5

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. STE Ser/Thr protein kinase family. MAP kinase kinase kinase subfamily.

Contains 1 protein kinase domain.

Contains 1 RING-type zinc finger.

Contains 1 SWIM-type zinc finger.

Sequence caution

The sequence AAA97500.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation.
