有丝分裂原活化蛋白(MAP)激酶Erk-1和Erk-2是脯氨酸导向的激酶,它们本身通过伴随的酪氨酸和苏氨酸残基磷酸化而被激活(1-4)。激酶p54(M(r)54,000)首先从环己酰亚胺处理的大鼠中分离,与Erks-1/2一样是脯氨酸导向的,并且需要Tyr和Ser/Thr磷酸化才能具有活性(3,5,6)。然而,p54与Erks-1/2的底物特异性不同,不能磷酸化pp 90(rsk),但在磷酸化c-Jun反式激活结构域中更活跃(5,7,8)。p54的分子克隆揭示了细胞外调节激酶的一个独特亚家族。虽然它们与Erks-1/2的序列有40-45%的相同性,但与Erks-1/2不同的是,p54在大多数细胞中仅被有丝分裂原或佛波醇酯弱激活。然而,p54是由细胞应激和肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)-α激活的主要c-Jun N-末端激酶,因此它们被称为应激激活蛋白激酶或SAPK。SAPKs也被鞘磷脂酶激活,鞘磷脂酶引起对TNF-α的细胞应答的子集(参考文献9)。因此,SAPKs定义了一种新的TNF-α和应激激活的信号通路,可能由基于鞘磷脂的第二信使启动,其调节c-Jun的活性。
THE mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases Erk-1 and Erk-2 are proline-directed kinases that are themselves activated through concomitant phosphorylation of tyrosine and threonine residues(1-4). The kinase p54 (M(r) 54,000), which was first isolated from cycloheximide-treated rats, is proline-directed like Erks-1/2, and requires both Tyr and Ser/Thr phosphorylation(3,5,6) for activity. p54 is, however, distinct from Erks-1/2 in its substrate specificity, being unable to phosphorylate pp90(rsk) but more active in phosphorylating the c-Jun transactivation domain(5,7,8). Molecular cloning of p54 reveals a unique subfamily of extracellularly regulated kinases. Although they are 40-45% identical in sequence to Erks-1/2, unlike Erks-1/2 the p54s are only poorly activated in most cells by mitogens or phorbol esters. However, p54s are the principal c-Jun N-terminal kinases activated by cellular stress and tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, hence they are designated stress-activated protein kinases, or SAPKs. SAPKs are also activated by sphingomyelinase, which elicits a subset of cellular responses to TNF-alpha (ref. 9). SAPKs therefore define a new TNF-alpha and stress-activated signalling pathway, possibly initiated by sphingomyelin-based second messengers, which regulates the activity of c-Jun.
