Descriptions

Mixed lineage kinase 3 (MLK3) is a mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase (MAPKKK) that activates the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway through the dual phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinases 4/7 (MKK4/7). The catalytic domain of MLK3 is flanked by an N-terminal SH3 domain and a centrally located zipper and Cdc42/Rac-interactive binding (CRIB) motif. Zipper-mediated homo-oligomerization is required for full activity of MLK3, proper substrate phosphorylation, and activation of the JNK pathway. MLK3 is autoinhibited through an interaction between its SH3 domain and a proline-containing sequence between the zipper and the CRIB motif. Activated forms of the small GTPases Cdc42 and Rac interact with MLK3 in a CRIB motif-dependent manner to increase the autophosphorylation of MLK3 and substrate phosphorylation activity and to potentiate MLK3-induced activation of JNK. Activated Cdc42 translocates MLK3 to membranes and induces activation loop phosphorylation of MLK3.

Name Definition
apoptotic process A programmed cell death process which begins when a cell receives an internal (e.g. DNA damage) or external signal (e.g. an extracellular death ligand), and proceeds through a series of biochemical events (signaling pathway phase) which trigger an execution phase. The execution phase is the last step of an apoptotic process, and is typically characterized by rounding-up of the cell, retraction of pseudopodes, reduction of cellular volume (pyknosis), chromatin condensation, nuclear fragmentation (karyorrhexis), plasma membrane blebbing and fragmentation of the cell into apoptotic bodies. When the execution phase is completed, the cell has died.
phosphorylation The process of introducing a phosphate group into a molecule, usually with the formation of a phosphoric ester, a phosphoric anhydride or a phosphoric amide.
positive regulation of apoptotic process Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of cell death by apoptotic process.
