Official Symbol: sek-1
Official Full Name: Dual specificity mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase sek-1
Primary source: WormBase:WBGene00004758
Locus tag: CELE_R03G5.2
See related: AllianceGenome:WB:WBGene00004758
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans (strain: Bristol N2)
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Ecdysozoa; Nematoda; Chromadorea; Rhabditida; Rhabditina; Rhabditomorpha; Rhabditoidea; Rhabditidae; Peloderinae; Caenorhabditis
Summary: Enables MAP kinase kinase activity; mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase binding activity; and protein serine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including defense response to other organism; p38MAPK cascade; and positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process. Is expressed in excretory canal; linker cell; neurons; rectal epithelium; and uterine-vulval cell. Used to study Parkinson's disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Pick's disease; cervical cancer; ovarian carcinoma; progressive supranuclear palsy; and restrictive cardiomyopathy. Orthologous to human MAP2K3 (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 3) and MAP2K6 (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

this study shows that sek-1(-) MAP kinase mutant nematodes succumb to infection faster, suggesting that this signaling pathway plays a role in immune activation
Title: Analysis of the Caenorhabditis elegans innate immune response to Coxiella burnetii.
SEK-1 is key player involved in tannic acid (TA)-mediated longevity. It is conceivable that TA mimics pathogen action and therefore activates the SEK-1-mediated pathogen resistance pathway.

Reuslts identify four genes to be required for the quercetin derived lifespan extension in C. elegans, namely age-1, daf-2, unc-43 and sek-1.
Title: Quercetin mediated lifespan extension in Caenorhabditis elegans is modulated by age-1, daf-2, sek-1 and unc-43.
oxidative, osmotic, heat shock and starvation stresses induce germ cell apoptosis through a p53 and EGL-1 independent pathway; the MAPK kinases MEK-1 and SEK-1, and the p53 antagonist protein ABL-1, are essential for stress-induced germ cell apoptosis
Title: Stress-induced germ cell apoptosis by a p53 independent pathway in Caenorhabditis elegans.
