1 19243309 Its partner, JIP1 (JNK-interacting protein 1), serves a scaffolding function that facilitates JNK1 activation by MKK4 [MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) kinase 4] and MKK7 (MAPK kinase 7).
2 7997269 SEK1 is a potent activator of the SAPKs in vitro and in vivo.
3 7997269 An inactive SEK1 mutant blocks SAPK activation by extracellular stimuli without interfering with the MAPK pathway.
4 7997269 Although alternative mechanisms of SAPK activation may exist, as an immediate upstream activator of the SAPKs, SEK1 further defines a signalling cascade that couples cellular stress agonists to the c-Jun transcription factor.
5 18420486 Downregulation of MEKK-1 in human islet cells provoked opposite effects, i.e., attenuation of cytokine-induced JNK and MKK4 activation, IkappaB stability, and a less pronounced NF-kappaB translocation. betaTC-6 cells with a downregulated MEKK-1 expression displayed also a weaker cytokine-induced iNOS expression and lower cell death rates.
