Disease relevance of Map3k1

 

High impact information on Map3k1

  • MEK kinase (MEKK) is part of a family of serine-threonine protein kinases that phosphorylate and activate MEKs independently of Raf [6].
  • Ras-dependent growth factor regulation of MEK kinase in PC12 cells [6].
  • Stimulation of synthesis of cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate abolished activation of MEKK and B-Raf by EGF, NGF, and TPA [6].
  • However, neurite outgrowth is triggered when c-Jun is co-expressed with activated MEKK1 or SEK1 [7].
  • Endogenous and recombinant rat MEKK1 are enriched in membranes; little of either is found in soluble fractions [8].
 

Biological context of Map3k1

  • Several PKCs are activated, and PKCbeta regulates phosphorylation of serine in MEKK1 [9].
  • Insulin activates a novel adipocyte mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase that shows rapid phasic kinetics and is distinct from c-Raf [10].
  • Furthermore, transfection of ventricular myocytes with activated protein kinases (MEKK1 and SEK1) that may be involved in the upstream activation of JNK/ SAPKs induces increases in myocyte size and transcriptional changes typical of the hypertrophic response [11].
  • The open reading frame is 4.5 kb and predicts a protein with molecular mass of 161,225 Da, which is twice the size of the previously published MEKK1 sequence and reveals 801 amino acids of novel coding sequence [8].
  • Our results indicate that the NFkappaB/rel sites are not only responsible for the modulation of HCMV-IE enhancer activity by MEKK1 but also control the basic transcription activity of the HCMV-IE promoter [1].
 

Anatomical context of Map3k1

 

Associations of Map3k1 with chemical compounds

 

Enzymatic interactions of Map3k1

  • Moreover, site-directed mutation of the residues on MEK that are phosphorylated by raf does not completely abrogate phosphorylation by the MEK kinase, suggesting that this enzyme may share some phosphorylation sites with raf, but also phosphorylates MEK on other sites [19].
 

Other interactions of Map3k1

  • We have identified a novel insulin-stimulated MEK kinase (I-MEKK) in the 100,000 x g infranatant that shows rapid phasic kinetics that temporally precede that of MEK [10].
  • Incubation of RGMEC with PD 98059 (MEK kinase inhibitor) significantly reduced PGE(2)-induced ERK2 activity, VEGF mRNA and protein expression [20].
  • A similar result was observed in cells treated with the MEKK inhibitor PD98059 and IFN-gamma [21].
  • These data indicate that this interaction was not dependent upon the activation state of these enzymes; however, MEK kinase activity was found to be associated with p21ras following incubation with NGF-treated samples at levels higher than those obtained from unstimulated cells [22].
  • In contrast, no binding to c-Raf or the MEKK1 activator p65-PAK could be detected [14].
