摘要
Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) are activated by phosphorylation on Thr and Tyr by MAPK kinases. Two MAPK kinases (MKK4 and MKK7) can activate the c-run NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) group of MAPK in vitro. TNK is phosphorylated preferentially on Tyr by MKK4 and on Thr by MKK7. Targeted gene-disruption studies in mice were performed to examine the role of MKK4 and MKK7 in vivo. Simultaneous disruption of the Mkk4 and Mkk7 genes was required to block TNK activation caused by exposure of cells to environmental stress. In contrast, disruption of the Mkk7 gene alone was sufficient to prevent TNK activation caused by proinflammatory cytokines. These data demonstrate that MKK4 and MKK7 serve different functions in the JNK signal transduction pathway.
