Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
Apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1 ) also known asmitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 5 (MAP3K5 ) is a member of MAP kinase family and as such a part ofmitogen-activated protein kinase pathway. It activatesc-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) andp38 mitogen-activated protein kinases in a Raf-independent fashion in response to an array of stresses such asoxidative stress ,endoplasmic reticulum stress and calcium influx. ASK1 has been found to be involved in cancer, diabetes,rheumatoid arthritis , cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases.[ 5] [ 6]
MAP3K5 gene coding for the protein is located on chromosome 6 atlocus 6q22.33.[ 7] and the transcribed protein contains 1,374 amino acids with 11 kinase subdomains.[citation needed ] Northern blot analysis shows that MAP3K5 transcript is abundant in human heart and pancreas.[ 8]
Mechanism of activation [ edit ] Under nonstress conditions ASK1 is oligomerized (a requirement for its activation) through its C-terminalcoiled-coil domain (CCC), but remains in an inactive form by the suppressive effect of reduced thioredoxin (Trx ) and calcium and integrin binding protein 1 (CIB1 ).[ 9] Trx inhibits ASK1 kinase activity by direct binding to its N-terminal coiled-coil domain (NCC). Trx and CIB1 regulate ASK1 activation in a redox- or calcium- sensitive manner, respectively. Both appear to compete with TNF-α receptor-associated factor 2 (TRAF2), an ASK1 activator.TRAF2 andTRAF6 are then recruited to ASK1 to form a larger molecular mass complex.[ 10] Subsequently, ASK1 forms homo-oligomeric interactions not only through the CCC, but also the NCC, which leads to full activation of ASK1 through autophosphorylation at threonine 845.[ 11]
ASK1 gene transcription can be induced by inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1 and TNF-α through the activation of theNF-kb protein RelA.[ 6] Interestingly,TNF-α is also able to stabilize the ASK1 protein throughdeubiquitination .[ 12] Thus, unlike other members of the mitogen-activated protein kinase family, the regulation of ASK1 expression is transcriptional as well aspost-transcriptional .[ 6]
