Conserved Docking Site Is Essential for Activation of Mammalian MAP Kinase Kinases by Specific MAP Kinase Kinase Kinases [PDF]

Molecular Cell, 2005
Mammalian mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades control various cellular events, ranging from cell growth to apoptosis, in response to external stimuli. A conserved docking site, termed DVD, is found in the mammalian MAP kinase kinases (MAPKKs) belonging to the three major subfamilies, namely MEK1, MKK4/7, and MKK3/6.

Combined In Silico and In Vitro Evidence Supporting an Aurora A Kinase Inhibitory Role of the Anti-Viral Drug Rilpivirine and an Anti-Proliferative Influence on Cancer Cells

Pharmaceuticals, 2022
The global burden of cancer necessitates rapid and ongoing development of effective cancer therapies. One promising approach in this context is the repurposing of existing non-cancer drugs for cancer indications.

Regulation and function of TPL-2, an IκB kinase-regulated MAP kinase kinase kinase [PDF]

Cell Research, 2010
The IκB kinase (IKK) complex plays a well-documented role in innate and adaptive immunity. This function has been widely attributed to its role as the central activator of the NF-κB family of transcription factors. However, another important consequence of IKK activation is the regulation of TPL-2, a MEK kinase that is required for activation of ERK-1 ...

Phosphorylation of Xenopus mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase kinase by MAP kinase kinase kinase and MAP kinase.

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1993
Xenopus 45-kDa mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase kinase (MAPKK) is a serine/threonine/tyrosine kinase, which activates MAP kinase (MAPK) by phosphorylating its threonine and tyrosine residues. MAPKK is active only when its threonine and/or serine residues are phosphorylated.

The Ca2+/Calmodulin-dependent Protein Kinase Kinases Are AMP-activated Protein Kinase Kinases [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2005
The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is an important regulator of cellular metabolism in response to metabolic stress and to other regulatory signals. AMPK activity is absolutely dependent upon phosphorylation of AMPKalphaThr-172 in its activation loop by one or more AMPK kinases (AMPKKs).

Inhibition of Rho-kinase improves response to deep inspiration in ovalbumin-sensitized guinea pigs [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2020
Objective(s): The modulatory effect of deep inspiration (DI) on airway constriction is impaired in asthma. However, mechanisms underlying this impairment are not clear.

Identification and Characterization of a Novel MAP Kinase Kinase Kinase, MLTK [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2001
The MAPK cascades regulate a wide variety of cellular functions, including cell proliferation, differentiation, and stress responses. Here we have identified a novel MAP kinase kinase kinase (MAPKKK), termed MLTK (for MLK-like mitogen-activated protein triple kinase), whose expression is increased by activation of the ERK/MAPK pathway.

Loss of the Conserved Alveolate Kinase MAPK2 Decouples Toxoplasma Cell Growth from Cell Division

mBio, 2020
Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are a conserved family of protein kinases that regulate signal transduction, proliferation, and development throughout eukaryotes. The apicomplexan parasite Toxoplasma gondii expresses three MAPKs.

Targeting Phosphatases and Kinases: How to Checkmate Cancer

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Metastatic disease represents the major cause of death in oncologic patients worldwide. Accumulating evidence have highlighted the relevance of a small population of cancer cells, named cancer stem cells (CSCs), in the resistance to therapies, as well as
