Extra Details:
Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-activated protein kinase 2 (phospho MAPKAPK-2 or phospho MK2) is phosphorylated and activated by the p38 MAPK and it is known to transduce a range of extracellular signals that result in inflammatory response; cell division and differentiation; apoptosis; and cell motility (1;2). p38 MAPK through MK2 regulates biosynthesis of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) and other cytokines (3). In addition; MK2 is involved with phosphorylating of heat shock protein 27 (Hsp27)(4); pointing to prominent role for MK2 in cancer promotion. MK2 is also activated after DNA damage (5;6); resulting in cell cycle arrest such that cells have the capacity to repair their DNA and continue to proliferate. p38 MAPK phosphorylate MK2 in response to stress stimuli at Thr222; Ser272 and Thr334 (7). Thr334 phosphorylation serves as a switch for phospho MAPKAPK-2 nuclear import and export. In resting cells; p38 MAPK and MK2 form a complex in the nucleus (7). Cellular stress causes the phosphorylation of p38 MAPK by upstream kinases; such as MAPK kinase 3. The activated p38 MAPK then phosphorylates MK2 at Thr222; Ser272; and/or Thr334. When activated at Thr334; both p38 MAPK and MK2 translocate to the cytoplasm. Phosphorylation at Thr222 within the activation loop is crucial for MK2-dependent activation of several target substrates; including enzymes; proteins that regulate cytoskeleton motility; mRNA-binding proteins; and regulators of the cell cycle and apoptosis (8).
