Supplementary information

This supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.

MEK1 also known as MAP2K1 is a dual-specificity kinase that plays a role in the MAPK/ERK pathway. It has a molecular weight of around 45 kDa. MEK1 phosphorylates and activates the extracellular signal-regulated kinases ERK1 and ERK2. MEK1 is expressed in various tissues but is especially abundant in brain and heart tissues. Researchers commonly measure MEK1 levels using techniques like MEK1 ELISA while phospho-MEK antibodies help analyze its activity state.
Biological function summary

MEK1 impacts cell processes such as proliferation differentiation and survival. It does not work alone but forms a complex with other proteins to exert its function. MEK1 activity is tightly controlled by upstream activators and downstream targets. One of the key phosphorylation sites on MEK1 is at serine 298 often marked as MEK1 pS298. This phosphorylation indicates MEK1's activated state which is critical for its biological function.

Pathways

MEK1 integrates signals within the MAPK/ERK pathway and interacts closely with RAF kinases upstream and ERK kinases downstream. This pathway modulates cellular responses to growth factors. MEK1 undergoes phosphorylation enhancing its activity and subsequently phosphorylates ERK proteins. Many studies isolate MEK1 activity using specific inhibitors such as the MEK1 inhibitor to dissect pathway dynamics. ERK inhibitor PD98059 also helps when studying parallel interactions with MEK1.

MEK1 mutations or dysregulation have links to several types of cancer including melanoma. These often involve changes that lead to continuous MEK1 activation contributing to uncontrolled cell growth. MEK1 involvement in the RASopathies also shows its connection to disorders characterized by heart and facial abnormalities. In cancer MEK1 works closely with the BRAF protein which often harbors mutations leading to disease progression showcasing MEK1 as a target for therapeutic intervention.

Target data

Catalyzes the concomitant phosphorylation of a threonine and a tyrosine residue in a Thr-Glu-Tyr sequence located in MAP kinases. Activates the ERK1 and ERK2 MAP kinases (By similarity). Activates BRAF in a KSR1 or KSR2-dependent manner; by binding to KSR1 or KSR2 releases the inhibitory intramolecular interaction between KSR1 or KSR2 protein kinase and N-terminal domains which promotes KSR1 or KSR2-BRAF dimerization and BRAF activation (PubMed : 29433126).
