Mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases (EC 2.7.11.24) are serine/threonine-specific protein kinases that respond to extracellular stimuli (mitogens, osmotic stress, heat shock and proinflammatory cytokines) and modulates cellular activities, such as proliferation, gene expression, differentiation, mitosis, cell survival, and apoptosis.[11]

MAP kinases are activated within the protein kinase cascades called “MAPK cascade”. Each one consists of three enzymes, MAP kinase kinase kinase (MKKK, MEKK or MAP3K), MAP kinase kinase (MKK, MEK, or MAP2K) and MAP kinase that are activated in series. A MAP3K that is activated by extracellular stimuli phosphorylates a MAP2K on its serine and threonine residues, and this MAP2K activates a MAP kinase through phosphorylation on its threonine and tyrosine residues (Tyr-185 and Thr-183 of ERK2). In vivo and in vitro, phosphorylation of tyrosine precedes phosphorylation of threonine, although phosphorylation of either residue can occur in the absence of the other. Because both tyrosine and threonine phosphorylations are required to activate the MAP kinases, phosphatases that remove phosphate from either site will inactivate them.
The MAP kinase signaling cascades convey information to effectors, coordinate incoming information from other signaling pathways, amplify signals, and allow for a variety of response patterns. They respond to different stimuli by phosphorylating cytoplasmic components and nuclear transcription factors depending on the cellular context. Down-regulation of MAP kinase pathways may occur through dephosphorylation by serine/threonine phosphatases, tyrosine phosphatases, or dual-specificity phosphatases and through feedback inhibitory mechanisms that involve the phosphorylation of upstream kinases. Drugs that selectively down-regulate MAP kinase cascades could prove to be valuable as therapeutic agents in the control of malignant disease.
ERK1 and ERK2 were the first of the ERK/MAP kinase subfamily to be cloned. Other related mammalian enzymes have been detected including: two ERK3 isoforms, ERK4, Jun N-terminal kinases/stress-activated protein kinases (JNK/SAPKs), p38/HOG, and p57 MAP kinases (38). The presence of at least six MAP kinases in yeast suggests that there are more in mammals.
Various ligands that activate MAPK’s cascade bind receptor tyrosine kinases, and tyrosine residues are phosphorylated; the phosphotyrosine residues of autophosphorylated receptors then bind the SH2 domains of adapters, (Grb2: growth factor receptor-bound protein 2). Exchange factors promote the association of Ras with GTP. GTP-Ras bind Raf-1 and B-Raf, two protein kinases. Consequently, Raf protein kinase activity is increased. Receptor tyrosine kinases have also been reported to activate the cascade in fibroblasts via a [Ca2+] increase.
The MAP kinase cascade can also be activated by certain heterotrimeric G proteins.
Protein kinase C (PKC) is used by many receptors to regulate the MAP kinase pathway, alone or in concert with other mechanisms, and may act at several steps in the cascade. PKC may directly activate Raf-1, but if a mutation exists at the site phosphorylated by PKC, no interaction can occur with Raf. Other sites of action of PKC are likely to be either farther upstream or at the level of MAP kinase inactivation.
MEK1 and MEK2 phosphorylate and activate MAP kinase. MEKs are activated by Raf-1, B-Raf, the Mos protooncogene product, MEK kinase 1 (MEKK1), and other growth factor-stimulated activities. The mechanisms controlling MEKK1 are unknown, although Ras may be required. It is thought MEKs are kinases that phosphorylate only MAP Kinases because no other substrates have been identified.
The MAPK1 structure consists of a smaller N-terminal domain and a larger C-terminal domain connected by a linker.
If MAPK1 is unphosphorylated its activity is very low. Phosphorylation causes both global and local conformational changes.[13] The two domains of ERK2 are rotated 17° to cause closure of the active site and form the catalytic residues. When Tyr-185 is phosphorylated binds Arg in positions -189 and −192. These new unions may help to stabilize the conformation in the active structure.
Different biochemical and structural studies using mutations of the phosphorylation sites show how phosphorylation increases ERK2 activitiy. An example is that if the mutation is located in Tyr-185, it causes conformational changes that affect ERK2 activation and, so, the activity is lower. It is suggested that cells cannot tolerate the continuous activity of MAP kinase. Constitutively active mutants of MEK transform cells and generate tumors in nude mice. However, effects of activated MEKs could be compensated increasing phosphatase activity to inactivate MAP kinases.
