[HTML][HTML] MEKK3 directly regulates MEK5 activity as part of the big mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 (BMK1) signaling pathway

Big mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase (BMK1), also known as ERK5, is a member of
the MAP kinase family whose cellular activity is elevated in response to growth factors,
oxidative stress, and hyperosmolar conditions. Previous studies have identified MEK5 as a
cellular kinase directly regulating BMK1 activity; however, signaling molecules that directly
regulate MEK5 activity have not yet been defined. Through utilization of a yeast two-hybrid
screen, we have identified MEKK3 as a molecule that physically interacts with MEK5. This …
