Evidence for a role of mixed lineage kinases in neuronal apoptosis.
Superior cervical ganglion (SCG) sympathetic neurons die by apoptosis when deprived of nerve growth factor (NGF). It has been shown previously that the induction of apoptosis in these neurons at NGF withdrawal requires both the activity of the small GTP-binding protein Cdc42 and the activation of the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway. The mixed lineage kinase 3 (MLK3) belongs to a family of...
متن کاملInduced, selective proteolysis of MLK3 negatively regulates MLK3/JNK signalling.
MLK3 (mixed lineage kinase 3) is a MAP3K [MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) kinase kinase] that activates multiple MAPK pathways, including the JNK (c-Jun N-terminal kinase) pathway. Immunoblotting of lysates from cells ectopically expressing active MLK3 revealed an additional immunoreactive band corresponding to a CTF (C-terminal fragment) of MLK3. In the present paper we provide evidenc...
متن کاملThe JNK/SAPK activator mixed lineage kinase 3 (MLK3) transforms NIH 3T3 cells in a MEK-dependent fashion.
Mixed lineage kinases (MLKs) form a family of serin/threonine protein kinases with multiple protein/protein interaction domains (SH3, Cdc42 Rac interactive binding sequence, leucine zipper, and proline rich region), the physiological roles of which are largely unknown. We show that overexpression of wild type MLK3 leads to morphological transformation of NIH 3T3 fibroblasts and growth in soft a...
متن کاملGlycogen synthase kinase-3beta induces neuronal cell death via direct phosphorylation of mixed lineage kinase 3.
Mixed lineage kinase 3 (MLK3) is a mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase member that activates the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway. Aberrant activation of MLK3 has been implicated in neurodegenerative diseases. Similarly, glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)-3beta has also been shown to activate JNK and contribute to neuronal apoptosis. Here, we show a functional interaction between ML...
متن کاملIdentification of in vivo phosphorylation sites of MLK3 by mass spectrometry and phosphopeptide mapping.
MLK3 is a serine/threonine protein kinase that functions as an upstream activator of the JNK pathway. Previous work has suggested that MLK3 is a multiphosphorylated protein. In this study, mass spectrometry coupled with comparative phosphopeptide mapping was used to directly characterize MLK3 in vivo phosphorylation sites. Various types of mass spectrometry were used to analyze MLK3 tryptic pep...
