Activating Compound | Comment | Organism | Structure |
---|---|---|---|
Gadd45alpha | causes an increase in the activation of both the p38 and JNK pathways, but not the ERK pathway, upregulates MEKK4s kinase activity to a lesser degree as compared to Gadd45beta or Gadd45gamma | Homo sapiens | |
Gadd45beta | causes an increase in the activation of both the p38 and JNK pathways, but not the ERK pathway | Homo sapiens | |
Gadd45gamma | causes an increase in the activation of both the p38 and JNK pathways, but not the ERK pathway | Homo sapiens | |
additional information | Ssk1p binds and activates the MEKK kinases Ssk2p and Ssk22p, de-phosphorylated Ssk1p binds to the N-terminal auto-inhibitory domain of Ssk2p and Ssk22p, activating their auto-phosphorylation on a conserved threonine residue | Saccharomyces cerevisiae |
Application | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
additional information | Ssk2p is one of the three MEKK kinases in the HOG pathway, the other two being Ste11p and Ssk22p, Ssk2p is homologous to MEKK4, monitors the integrity of the actin cytoskeleton and regulates its recovery from osmotic stress | Saccharomyces cerevisiae |
additional information | two isoforms of MEKK4, monitors the integrity of the actin cytoskeleton and regulates its recovery from osmotic stress, MEKK4 and TRAF4 are involved in the process of neurulation | Homo sapiens |
additional information | two isoforms of MEKK4, play a role in downregulating apoptosis during neurulation via the p38 MAPK pathway | Mus musculus |

Protein Variants | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
K1361R | shows remarkable increase in the number of neural tube defects | Mus musculus |
additional information | deletion of the CRIB domain of MEKK4 diminishes but does not abolish Cdc42 binding | Homo sapiens |
additional information | MEKK4-/- mice, protein is not essential for embryonic survival, but more than 80% of mice exhibit neural tube defects and die shortly after birth. Reduced level of IFN-gamma production in response to cytokine treatment. MEKK4-3R mutant, completely abolishes CIN85 interaction and is defective in activating the p38 pathway. Intermediate MKK6 causes reduction in p38 activation in response to both oxidative stress and epidermal growth factor stimulation, less prone to ubiquitination | Mus musculus |
additional information | ssk2delta/ssk22delta/ste11delta strain, complementation of the osmo-sensitive phenotype, deletion of the LD domain of Ssk2p results in a serious localization defect when yeast cells are exposed to osmotic stress as well as an inability to facilitate the actin specific functions of Ssk2p | Saccharomyces cerevisiae |
