SEQUENCE SIMILARITIES

Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. STE Ser/Thr protein kinase family. MAP kinase kinase kinase subfamily.

TISSUE SPECIFICITY

Isoform 1A is the most abundant in ovary, skeletal muscle, spleen and blood mononuclear cells. Isoform 1B is highly expressed in brain, kidney and small intestine. Isoform 1C is the major form in prostate. Isoform 1D is the less abundant form.

POST-TRANSLATIONAL MODIFICATION

Association with TAB1/MAP3K7IP1 promotes autophosphorylation at Ser-192 and subsequent activation. Association with TAB2/MAP3K7IP2, itself associated with free unanchored Lys-63 polyubiquitin chain, promotes autophosphorylation and subsequent activation of MAP3K7. Dephosphorylation at Ser-192 by PPM1B/PP2CB and at Thr-187 by PP2A and PPP6C leads to inactivation.; 'Lys-48'-linked polyubiquitination at Lys-72 is induced by TNFalpha, and leads to proteasomal degradation. Undergoes 'Lys-48'-linked polyubiquitination catalyzed by ITCH (By similarity). Requires 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitination for autophosphorylation and subsequent activation. 'Lys-63'-linked ubiquitination does not lead to proteasomal degradation. Deubiquitinated by CYLD, a protease that selectively cleaves 'Lys-63'-linked ubiquitin chains. Deubiquitinated by Y.enterocolitica YopP.; (Microbial infection) Cleaved and inactivated by the proteases 3C of coxsackievirus A16 and human enterovirus D68, allowing the virus to disrupt TRAF6-triggered NF-kappa-B induction.

FUNCTION

Several serine/threonine protein kinases have been implicated as intermediates in signal transduction pathways. These include ERK/MAP kinases, ribosomal S6 kinase (Rsk) and Raf-1. Raf-1 is a protein with intrinsic kinase activity towards serine/ threonine residues and that is widely expressed in many tissue types and cell lines. Raf-1 activation is dependent on the small molecular weight GTPase Ras, but the means by which this activation occurs is poorly understood. Two proteins putatively involved in this process are Ksr-1 and Tak1. Ksr-1 (kinase sup-pressor of Ras) is a novel Raf-related protein kinase whose function is required for Ras signal transduction. Whether Ksr-1 lies directly downstream of Ras or acts in a parallel pathway is not yet known. Tak1 (TGFβ-activated kinase) has been shown to participate in the activation of the MAP kinase family in response to TGFβ stimulation.
