Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Cascades: Terminology and Properties

The best-characterized subfamilies of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) superfamily are the extracellularly responsive kinases (ERKs) and the two "stress-responsive" MAPK subfamilies, namely, the c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) and the p38-MAPKs.1 2 3 4 5 As yet, no single nomenclature has been determined, and the synonyms currently in use are summarized in Table 1Down. The ERK cascade is the most thoroughly studied of the MAPK cascades, and it is activated principally by G protein–coupled receptor (GPCR) agonists in cardiac myocytes. We have reviewed this topic recently,6 and we will not discuss it in any depth here. The regulation of the JNK and p38-MAPK cascades in the myocardium (Figure 1Down) forms the principal subject of this review.

Figure 1. A scheme for the activation of stress-responsive MAPK cascades. Exposure of cultured cardiac myocytes and whole hearts to stresses or GPCR agonists leads to activation of the JNKs and p38-MAPKs. Cellular stresses induce reorganization of the cytoskeleton and activation of the small G proteins, Rac and Cdc42. GPCR agonists activate the small G protein, Ras, through a PKC-dependent mechanism. Ras is recognized to participate in the activation of the ERK cascade and, either directly or indirectly, may activate the stress-responsive MAPKs (JNKs and p38-MAPKs). The JNKs are activated by MKK4 and MKK7, whereas p38-MAPKs are activated by MKK3 and MKK6 (see Table 2Up). The upstream activators (the MKKKs) of the stress-responsive MKKs have not been clearly defined but possibly include MEKKs (MAPK or ERK kinase kinases), . . . [Full Text of this Article]
