General annotation (Comments)

Function

Negative regulator of TLR4 signaling. Does not activate JNK1/MAPK8 pathway, p38/MAPK14, nor ERK2/MAPK1 pathways. Ref.10

Catalytic activity

ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.

Cofactor

Magnesium By similarity. UniProtKB P80192

Enzyme regulation

Homodimerization via the leucine zipper domains is required for autophosphorylation and subsequent activation By similarity. UniProtKB Q16584

Subunit structure

Homodimer By similarity. Interacts with TLR4. Ref.10 UniProtKB Q16584

Post-translational modification

Autophosphorylation on serine and threonine residues within the activation loop plays a role in enzyme activation By similarity. UniProtKB Q16584

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 SH3 domain.

Sequence caution

The sequence BAB47433.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation. Translation N-terminally shortened.

Alternative products

This entry describes 3 isoforms produced by alternative splicing. [Align] [Select]
Isoform 1 Ref.6 (identifier: Q5TCX8-1)

Also known as: MLK4beta;

This isoform has been chosen as the 'canonical' sequence. All positional information in this entry refers to it. This is also the sequence that appears in the downloadable versions of the entry.
Isoform 2 Ref.6 (identifier: Q5TCX8-2)

Also known as: MLK4alpha;

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     559-570: LTSDESNKTWGR → CELSALPRGLLC
     571-1036: Missing.
Isoform 3 Ref.3 (identifier: Q5TCX8-3)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     1-554: Missing.
     555-559: RAIQL → MFFLVT
Note: No experimental confirmation available.
