Summary: Enables several functions, including JUN kinase kinase kinase activity; protein kinase binding activity; and ubiquitin-protein transferase activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of signal transduction; positive regulation of viral transcription; and protein phosphorylation. Predicted to be located in tight junction. Predicted to be part of filamentous actin. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm.

Title: Caspase-3 mediated cleavage of MEKK1 promotes p53 transcriptional activity.
We identified the upstream kinase MEKK1 as an activator of both the ERK1/2 and JNK2 pathways, whereby the ERK1/2 kinase MEK1 and the JNK kinase MKK7 bind to MEKK1 in a competing fashion.

functions not only as an upstream activator of the ERK and JNK through its kinase domain, but also as an E3 ligase through its PHD domain, providing a negative regulatory mechanism for decreasing ERK1/2 activity
Title: The PHD domain of MEKK1 acts as an E3 ubiquitin ligase and mediates ubiquitination and degradation of ERK1/2.
MEKK1 probably activates a transcriptional partner of c-Jun whose activity is maintained or increased in the presence of the rat cholecystokinin 1 receptor but repressed in the presence of the mouse cholecystokinin 1 receptor.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
