recombinant coexpression of His6-tagged constitutively active MEK1 mutant S218E/S222E and GST-MyoD protein | Homo sapiens |
Protein Variants | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
S218E/S222E | site-directed mutagenesis, a constitutively active MEK1 mutant, i.e. MEK1EE | Homo sapiens |
Y156F | site-directed mutagenesis, catalytically inactive mutant. The protein level of mutant MyoD-Y156F decreases compared with that of wild type but is recovered in the presence of lactacystin, a proteasome inhibitor. The low protein level of MyoD-Y156F is recovered over that of wild-type by an additional mutation at Leu164, a critical binding residue of MAFbx/AT-1, a Skp, Cullin, F-box (SCF) E3-ubiquitin ligase | Homo sapiens |

General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
physiological function | transcriptional activity of MyoD is critical in understanding skeletal muscle development and regeneration. Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 1 (MEK1) stabilizes MyoD through direct phosphorylation at tyrosine 156 during myogenic differentiation. The amount of MyoD co-precipitated with MAFbx/AT-1 is reduced in the presence of active MEK1. The phosphorylation probably interrupts the binding of MAFbx/AT-1 to MyoD and thereby increases its stability. The MEK1-induced phosphorylation of MyoD enhances heterodimerization with E proteins | Homo sapiens |
