• Background: The central core of each mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway is a conserved cascade of 3 protein kinases: an activated MAPK kinase kinase (MAPKKK) phosphorylates and activates a specific MAPK kinase (MAPKK); which then activates a specific MAPK. While the ERK MAPKs are activated by mitogenic stimulation; the CSBP2 and JNK MAPKs are activated by environmental stresses such as osmotic shock; UV irradiation; wound stress; and inflammatory factors. This gene encodes a MAPKKK; the MEKK4 protein; also called MTK1. This protein contains a protein kinase catalytic domain at the C terminus. The N-terminal nonkinase domain may contain a regulatory domain. Expression of MEKK4 in mammalian cells activated the CSBP2 and JNK MAPK pathways; but not the ERK pathway. In vitro kinase studies indicated that recombinant MEKK4 can specifically phosphorylate and activate PRKMK6 and SERK1; MAPKKs that activate CSBP2 and JNK; respectively but cannot phosphorylate PRKMK1; an MAPKK that activates ERKs. MEKK4 is a major mediator of environmental stresses that activate the CSBP2 MAPK pathway; and a minor mediator of the JNK pathway. Two alternatively spliced transcripts encoding distinct isoforms have been described.
