Function

Dual specificity protein kinase which acts as an essential component of the MAP kinase signal transduction pathway. With MAP3K3/MKK3, catalyzes the concomitant phosphorylation of a threonine and a tyrosine residue in the MAP kinases p38 MAPK11, MAPK12, MAPK13 and MAPK14 and plays an important role in the regulation of cellular responses to cytokines and all kinds of stresses. Especially, MAP2K3/MKK3 and MAP2K6/MKK6 are both essential for the activation of MAPK11 and MAPK13 induced by environmental stress, whereas MAP2K6/MKK6 is the major MAPK11 activator in response to TNF. MAP2K6/MKK6 also phosphorylates and activates PAK6. The p38 MAP kinase signal transduction pathway leads to direct activation of transcription factors. Nuclear targets of p38 MAP kinase include the transcription factors ATF2 and ELK1. Within the p38 MAPK signal transduction pathway, MAP3K6/MKK6 mediates phosphorylation of STAT4 through MAPK14 activation, and is therefore required for STAT4 activation and STAT4-regulated gene expression in response to IL-12 stimulation. The pathway is also crucial for IL-6-induced SOCS3 expression and down-regulation of IL-6-mediated gene induction; and for IFNG-dependent gene transcription. Has a role in osteoclast differentiation through NF-kappa-B transactivation by TNFSF11, and in endochondral ossification and since SOX9 is another likely downstream target of the p38 MAPK pathway. MAP2K6/MKK6 mediates apoptotic cell death in thymocytes. Acts also as a regulator for melanocytes dendricity, through the modulation of Rho family GTPases.

Activity summary

MEK3 and MEK6 also known as MAP2K3 and MAP2K6 are dual-specificity protein kinases. MEK3 has a mass of approximately 39 kDa while MEK6 is around 37 kDa. They are both part of the MAP kinase family and mainly expressed in tissues like the skeletal muscle liver and heart. These kinases play a role in phosphorylating and activating p38 MAP kinases which are important for intracellular signaling.

Biological function summary

MEK3 and MEK6 are key components of the MAP kinase signaling pathway. These kinases participate in response networks that regulate stress-induced signaling and inflammatory responses. Although not explicitly forming a classic complex they interact with substrates like p38 MAPK to exert their effects. MEK3 and MEK6 contribute to cellular processes including differentiation apoptosis and gene expression.

Pathways

MEK3 and MEK6 are integral to the p38 MAPK pathway and the stress-activated protein kinase (SAPK) pathways. These pathways facilitate the cellular response to external stress hypoxia and inflammatory cytokines. Their activity is closely related to other MAP kinases like JNK in propagating signals that control cellular stress responses. Their activation mechanism involves sequential phosphorylation events that link initial stimuli to specific cellular reactions.

Associated diseases and disorders

MEK3 and MEK6 are implicated in inflammatory diseases and certain types of cancer. For instance abnormal activity of these kinases is observed in rheumatoid arthritis due to their role in inflammation and cellular differentiation. They also have links to cancers like melanoma through their regulation of apoptosis and cell proliferation. The dysregulation of their network with p38 MAPK and JNK can contribute to the pathology of these conditions making them potential targets for therapeutic interventions.
