physiological function | isoform MKK7gamma, product of alternative splicing, binds directly to calcineurin through its PIIVIT motif in vitro, immunoprecipitates with calcineurin from cell extracts, and exhibits fluorescence resonance energy transfer with calcineurin in the cytoplasm but not in the nucleus of living cells. Isoforms alpha and beta exhibit no direct binding or fluorescence resonance energy transfer with calcineurin and are localized more in the nucleus than the cytoplasm. The inhibition of calcineurin phosphatase activity increases the basal phosphorylation of MKK7gamma but not MKK7beta. Deletion of the MKK7gamma PIIVIT motif eliminates FRET with calcineurin and promotes MKK7gamma redistribution to the nucleus. The inhibition of calcineurin phosphatase activity in vascular smooth muscle cells, which express MKK7gamma mRNA, enhances c-Jun N-terminal kinase activation | Homo sapiens |
