    basic FUNCTION
  • acting as a serine/threonine protein kinase and as an activator of p38 MAPK signaling cascades
  • involved in the caspase-independent pathway
  • phosphorylating and activating MAP2K4 and MAP2K6
  • activating c-jun terminal kinase (JNK)/stress activated protein kinase (SAPK), in response to TNF-alpha and FasL
  • phosphorylates cardiac troponin T to regulate cardiac contractile function
  • playing an essential role in cell death induced by ER stress
  • plays an essential role in stress and immune response and linked to the development of several diseases
  • with MAP3K6, are critically involved in tumorigenesis by differentially regulating apoptosis and inflammation
  • role in the regulation of 26 S proteasome
  • potentially acting as a novel binding partner of SMN and controls the steady-state level of SMN through complex formation with SMN in neurite outgrowth
  • contributes to apoptosis of plasma cells because MAP3K5 activity was induced during differentiation of short-lived plasma cells
  • promotes apoptosis of normal and malignant plasma cells
  • is regulated in response to the early inflammation phase and regulates the differentiation of Neural stem cells (NSCs) after inflammatory-inducing events, such as ischemic stroke
  • degradation of MAP3K5 mediated by RC3H2 is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism required for the appropriate regulation of stress responses, including pathogen resistance and cell death
  • role for MAP3K5 in regulating endochondral bone formation
  • may mediate the teratogenicity of diabetes through activating the JNK1/2-ER stress pathway and inhibiting cell cycle progression, thereby impeding the cardiogenesis pathways essential for ventricular septation and outflow tract development
  • regulates brown and beige adipocytes function
  • activity of MAP3K5 is triggered by various stress stimuli and is involved in the pathogenesis of cancer, neurodegeneration, inflammation, and diabetes
  • is an oxidative stress-responsive kinase that is regulated by various interacting molecules and post-translational modifications

  • direct E2F1 target gene
  • interacts with PRDX1 via its thioredoxin-binding domain (interaction highly inducible by H2O2)(Kim 2008)
  • interacting with PGAM5 (associates with the MAP kinase kinase kinase MAP3K5 and acts as a specific protein Ser/Thr phosphatase that activates MAP3K5 by dephosphorylation of inhibitory sites)
  • association between MAP3K5 and STRAP is mediated through the C-terminal domain of MAP3K5 and the fourth and sixth WD40 repeats of STRAP
  • stabilizes SMN protein by inhibiting SMN poly-ubiquitination, and the kinase activity of MAP3K5 is less important than its ability to bind to SMN
  • ZNF622 physically interact with MAP3K5
  • NOTCH1-intracellular domain may act as a negative regulator in MAP3K5 signaling cascades
  • ARR3 binds MAPK10, MAP2K4, and MAP3K5
  • MAP3K5 a representative stress kinase, interacts with both GAPDH and SIAH1 and is likely able to phosphorylate Siah1 at specific amino acid residues
  • PPIA negatively regulates MAP3K5 functions by its physical interaction with MAP3K5
  • YWHAE interacts with the kinase domain of MAP3K5 in close proximity to its active site, thus indicating this interaction might block its accessibility and/or affect its conformation
  • TXN dissociates in response to oxidative stress allowing the MAP3K5 activation
  • the catalytic site of TXN interacts with MAP3K5-TXN-binding domain(TBD) region containing cysteine C200 and the oxidative stress induces intramolecular disulfide bond formation within MAP3K5-TBD
  • LRRK2 played an important role in neuronal cell death by directly phosphorylating and activating apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (MAP3K5)
  • TRIM48 orchestrates the regulation of oxidative stress-induced MAP3K5 activation
  • TRIM48 facilitates MAP3K5 activation by promoting K48-linked polyubiquitination and degradation of PRMT1
  • TNFAIP3 is a key endogenous suppressor of MAP3K5 activation, and TNFAIP3 directly interacts with and deubiquitinates MAP3K5 in hepatocytes
  • MAP3K5, MAP3K6 was required for NLRP3 up-regulation after lipopolysaccharide treatment in primary bone marrow-derived macrophages and lung fibroblasts as well as during infection with Burkholderia thailandensis and influenza virus
  • BTRC and FBXW11 is capable of suppressing oxidative stress-induced CASP3-dependent apoptosis through suppression of MAP3K5, assisting in the organism's ability to maintain homeostasis in an unstable environment
