motifs/domains
  • a single kinase domain (AAs 25–313), comprising two lobe: small N-terminal lobe is constituted by a five-stranded antiparallel beta sheet (1–5) containing residues involved in catalysis, an alpha helix (helix C) that assumes slightly different orientations in the active and inactive states, and a glycine-rich loop, interacting with the ATP phosphates
  • an ATP binding site
  • mono polymer homomer , heteromer , dimer

  • translocated to the nucleus after activation where it phosphorylates nuclear targets
  • colocalizes with the WASF2 regulatory complex (WRC) at lamellipodial leading edges and directly phosphorylates two WRC components: WASF2 and ABI1
  • basic FUNCTION
  • phosphorylating nuclear targets, microtubule associated protein 2, myelin basic protein and ELK1
  • promoting entry in the cell cycle
  • activating DD5 and TPR
  • activation of MAPK1 is a key regulator of the increased transition to hypertrophic differentiation of the growth plate
  • may play a critical role in TSC progression through posttranslational inactivation of TSC2 (
  • regulates the proliferation of mesenchymal stem cells without affecting their mobilization and differentiation potential
  • MAPK1/MAPK3 have a crucial role in cardiac hypertrophy
  • plays essential roles in osteoblast differentiation and in supporting osteoclastogenesis
  • MAPK3 and MAPK1 drastically differ in their capability of crossing the nuclear envelope with MAPK3 being three times slower than MAPK1
  • plays a key role in the regulation of apoptosis during retinal development (
  • coordinates adhesion disassembly with WASF2 regulatory complex activation and actin polymerization to promote productive leading edge advancement during cell migration
  • plays an essential role in epithelial cell survival but is dispensable for fiber cell differentiation during lens development
  • mitophagy in mammalian cells predominantly occurs through an alternative autophagy pathway, requiring the MAPK1 and MAPK14 signaling pathways
  • isoform-specific roles of MAPK3 and MAPK1 in the control of arteriogenesis
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell cycle, checkpoint

    knockout studies including MAPK1 revealed some
  • associations with abnormal placental development, leading
  • to intrauterine growth restriction and intrauterine
    death of null mice
  • disrupted Mapk1/mapk3 in mouse granulosa cells provide in vivo evidence that these kinases are necessary for LH-induced oocyte resumption of meiosis, ovulation, and luteinization
  • double knock-out newborn pups for Erk1 and Erk2 survived for not more one day, appeared normal just after parturition, displayed intracerebral hemorrhages with varying location and severity, ventricular zones and corpus callosum did not develop properly and nuclear morphology in some brain regions were markedly aberrant (
  • double knock-out mice deficient for Erk2 in the central nervous system, with ubiquitous homozygous deletion of Erk1 were neonatally lethal (
