    motifs/domains
  • N terminal catalytic domain (tyrosine kinase)
  • two PEST motifs
  • three proline-rich region
  • C-terminal PEST domain that might play a role in the modulation of MAP4K3 stability through regulation by the ubiquitin-proteasome system (Lam 2009)

    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION
    basic FUNCTION
  • serine/threonine protein kinase activity
  • activating the C-JUN-N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway
  • required for maximal RPS6/EIF4EBP1 phosphorylation and regulates cell growth (Findlay 2007)
  • can act as a general mediator of DNA damage-induced cell death (Lam 2009)
  • pro-apoptotic kinase that induces mitochondria-dependent apoptosis via BAX activation (Lam 2009)

    small molecule nucleotide,
  • ATP
  • protein
  • contributes to the activation of both the JNK and mTOR signaling pathways (Lam 2009)
  • modulates the activity of the BH3 proteins BBC3, BAD, and BCL2L11 at the posttranscriptional level (Lam 2009)
  • cell & other
