additional information | MAPKs that are in different families (e.g. ERK, JNK, and p38) can bind selectively to D-sites in their authentic substrates and regulators while discriminating against D-sites in other pathways. The short hydrophobic region at the distal end of the D-site plays a critical role in determining the high selectivity of JNK MAPKs for docking sites in their cognate MAPK kinases. These specificity-determining differences are also found in the D-sites of the ETS family transcription factors Elk-1 and Net. Swapping two hydrophobic residues between these D-sites switches the relative efficiency of Elk-1 and Net as substrates for ERK versus JNK. Comparison of the hydrophobic submotif in strong versus weak JNK-binding D-sites, overview. The D-sites of the JNK pathway activator MKK4 contains LXL, as do all three of the D-sites in activator MKK7 in the first 3 residues of the hydrophobic submotif. MKK D-sites that bind JNK weakly lack an extended hydrophobic motif | Homo sapiens | ? | - |
