Immunohistochemistry (IHC)

(MBS9607681 at 1/100 staining Mouse pancreas tissue by IHC-P. The sample was formaldehyde fixed and a heat mediated antigen retrieval step in citrate buffer was performed. The sample was then blocked and incubated with the antibody for 1.5 hours at 22 degree C. An HRP conjugated goat anti-rabbit antibody was used as the secondary.)

Immunofluorescene (IF)

(MBS9607681 staining MDA-MB-435 cells by IF/ICC. The sample were fixed with PFA and permeabilized in 0.1% Triton X-100, then blocked in 10% serum for 45 minutes at 25 degree C. The primary antibody was diluted at 1/200 and incubated with the sample for 1 hour at 37 degree C. An Alexa Fluor 594 conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) antibody, diluted at 1/600, was used as secondary antibody.)

Description: This gene encodes a member of the dual specificity protein kinase family, which functions as a mitogen-activatedprotein (MAP) kinase kinase. MAP kinases, also known as extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs), act as anintegration point for multiple biochemical signals. This protein phosphorylates and activates p38 MAP kinase inresponse to inflammatory cytokines or environmental stress. As an essential component of p38 MAP kinase mediatedsignal transduction pathway, this gene is involved in many cellular processes such as stress induced cell cyclearrest, transcription activation and apoptosis.
Function: Dual specificity protein kinase which acts as an essential component of the MAP kinase signal transduction pathway. With MAP3K3/MKK3, catalyzes the concomitant phosphorylation of a threonine and a tyrosine residue in the MAP kinases p38 MAPK11, MAPK12, MAPK13 and MAPK14 and plays an important role in the regulation of cellular responses to cytokines and all kinds of stresses. Especially, MAP2K3/MKK3 and MAP2K6/MKK6 are both essential for the activation of MAPK11 and MAPK13 induced by environmental stress, whereas MAP2K6/MKK6 is the major MAPK11 activator in response to TNF. MAP2K6/MKK6 also phosphorylates and activates PAK6. The p38 MAP kinase signal transduction pathway leads to direct activation of transcription factors. Nuclear targets of p38 MAP kinase include the transcription factors ATF2 and ELK1. Within the p38 MAPK signal transduction pathway, MAP3K6/MKK6 mediates phosphorylation of STAT4 through MAPK14 activation, and is therefore required for STAT4 activation and STAT4-regulated gene expression in response to IL-12 stimulation. The pathway is also crucial for IL-6-induced SOCS3 expression and down-regulation of IL-6-mediated gene induction; and for IFNG-dependent gene transcription. Has a role in osteoclast differentiation through NF-kappa-B transactivation by TNFSF11, and in endochondral ossification and since SOX9 is another likely downstream target of the p38 MAPK pathway. MAP2K6/MKK6 mediates apoptotic cell death in thymocytes. Acts also as a regulator for melanocytes dendricity, through the modulation of Rho family GTPases.
Subunit Structure: Dimer. Interacts with Yersinia yopJ. Interacts (via its D domain) with its substrates MAPK11, MAPK12, MAPK13 and MAPK14 (By similarity). Interacts (via its DVD domain) with MAP3Ks activators like MAP3K5/ASK1, MAP3K1/MEKK1, MAP3K2/MEKK2, MAP3K3/MEKK3, MAP3K4/MEKK4, MAP3K7/TAK1, MAP3K11/MLK3 and MAP3K17/TAOK2 (By similarity). Interacts with DCTN1. Interacts with EIF2AK2/PKR.
Post-translational Modifications: Weakly autophosphorylated. Phosphorylated at Ser-207 and Thr-211 by the majority of M3Ks, such as MAP3K5/ASK1, MAP3K1/MEKK1, MAP3K2/MEKK2, MAP3K3/MEKK3, MAP3K4/MEKK4, MAP3K7/TAK1, MAP3K11/MLK3 and MAP3K17/TAOK2. Acetylation of Ser-207 and Thr-211 by Yersinia yopJ prevents phosphorylation and activation, thus blocking the MAPK signaling pathway.
Similarity: The DVD domain (residues 311-334) contains a conserved docking site and is found in the mammalian MAP kinase kinases (MAP2Ks). The DVD sites bind to their specific upstream MAP kinase kinase kinases (MAP3Ks) and are essential for activation.The D domain (residues 4-19) contains a conserved docking site and is required for the binding to MAPK substrates. Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. STE Ser/Thr protein kinase family. MAP kinase kinase subfamily.
