Also known as MNK1

Summary

MKNK1 (MAPK interacting serine/threonine kinase 1, HGNC:7110) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1p33, encoding MAP kinase-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 1 (Q9BUB5). May play a role in the response to environmental stress and cytokines.

This gene encodes a Ser/Thr protein kinase that interacts with, and is activated by ERK1 and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases, and thus may play a role in the response to environmental stress and cytokines. This kinase may also regulate transcription by phosphorylating eIF4E via interaction with the C-terminal region of eIF4G. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been noted for this gene.

Function. May play a role in the response to environmental stress and cytokines. Appears to regulate translation by phosphorylating EIF4E, thus increasing the affinity of this protein for the 7-methylguanosine-containing mRNA cap.

Subunit / interactions. Interacts with the C-terminal regions of EIF4G1 and EIF4G2. Also binds to dephosphorylated ERK1 and ERK2, and to the p38 kinases.

Subcellular location. Cytoplasm Cytoplasm. Nucleus.

Tissue specificity. Ubiquitous.

Post-translational modifications. Dual phosphorylation of Thr-250 and Thr-255 activates the kinase. Phosphorylation of Thr-385 activates the kinase. MAPK3/ERK1 is one of the kinases which activate MKNK1/MNK1. Phosphorylation by PAK2 leads to a reduced phosphorylation of EIF4G1.

Activity regulation. Phosphorylated and activated by the p38 kinases and kinases in the Erk pathway.

Similarity. Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. CAMK Ser/Thr protein kinase family.

Enriched among interaction partners

Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 119 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.
