Also known as MEK2MKK2
Summary
MAP2K2 (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 2, HGNC:6842) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 19p13.3, encoding Dual specificity mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 2 (P36507). Catalyzes the concomitant phosphorylation of a threonine and a tyrosine residue in a Thr-Glu-Tyr sequence located in MAP kinases.
The protein encoded by this gene is a dual specificity protein kinase that belongs to the MAP kinase kinase family. This kinase is known to play a critical role in mitogen growth factor signal transduction. It phosphorylates and thus activates MAPK1/ERK2 and MAPK2/ERK3. The activation of this kinase itself is dependent on the Ser/Thr phosphorylation by MAP kinase kinase kinases. Mutations in this gene cause cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome (CFC syndrome), a disease characterized by heart defects, cognitive disability, and distinctive facial features similar to those found in Noonan syndrome. The inhibition or degradation of this kinase is also found to be involved in the pathogenesis of Yersinia and anthrax. A pseudogene, which is located on chromosome 7, has been identified for this gene.

Dual specificity mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 2 — P36507 (reviewed: P36507)
Alternative names: ERK activator kinase 2, MAPK/ERK kinase 2
All UniProt accessions (2): P36507, M0R1B6
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Catalyzes the concomitant phosphorylation of a threonine and a tyrosine residue in a Thr-Glu-Tyr sequence located in MAP kinases. Activates the ERK1 and ERK2 MAP kinases. Activates BRAF in a KSR1 or KSR2-dependent manner; by binding to KSR1 or KSR2 releases the inhibitory intramolecular interaction between KSR1 or KSR2 protein kinase and N-terminal domains which promotes KSR1 or KSR2-BRAF dimerization and BRAF activation.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with MORG1. Interacts with SGK1. Interacts with KSR1. Interacts with KSR1 and BRAF; the interaction with KSR1 mediates KSR1-BRAF dimerization. Interacts with GLS.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Membrane.
Post-translational modifications. MAPKK is itself dependent on Ser/Thr phosphorylation for activity catalyzed by MAP kinase kinase kinases (RAF or MEKK1). Phosphorylated by MAP2K1/MEK1. (Microbial infection) Acetylation of Ser-222 and Ser-226 by Yersinia YopJ prevents phosphorylation and activation, thus blocking the MAPK signaling pathway.
Disease relevance. Cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome 4 (CFC4) [MIM:615280] A form of cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome, a multiple congenital anomaly disorder characterized by a distinctive facial appearance, heart defects and intellectual disability. Heart defects include pulmonic stenosis, atrial septal defects and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Some affected individuals present with ectodermal abnormalities such as sparse, friable hair, hyperkeratotic skin lesions and a generalized ichthyosis-like condition. Typical facial features are similar to Noonan syndrome. They include high forehead with bitemporal constriction, hypoplastic supraorbital ridges, downslanting palpebral fissures, a depressed nasal bridge, and posteriorly angulated ears with prominent helices. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. STE Ser/Thr protein kinase family. MAP kinase kinase subfamily.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 174 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
