Mitogen activated protein kinase-activated protein kinase-2 (MAPKAPK-2), expressed as alpha(~49kD) and beta (~60kD) isoforms, is phosphorylated by p38 MAPK and mediates multiple p38 MAPK-dependent cellular responses, including inflammation.
MAPKAPK-2 is implicated in several disorders including brain ischemic injury and heart failure, and has shown to be important in regulating stress resistance and the production of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-a).
In unstimulated cells, MAPKAPK-2 is located in the nucleus where it contributes to CREB phosphorylation.
Upon stimulation it translocates to the cytoplasm and phosphorylates andactivates tuberin and HSP27.
MAPKAPK-2 is phosphorylated in the kinase domain at threonine222 (in the activation loop) and serine 272, and in the C-terminus at threonines 334 and 338
Threonine 334 is a major regulatory site, as once phosphorylated it induces conformationalchanges which result in the activation of the kinase.
