InnateDB Annotation
Summary
Phosphorylation of the inflammasome adaptor Pycard (ASC) controls inflammasome activity through the formation of ASC specks. The NLRP3 and AIM2 inflammasomes require Syk and Mapk8 (JNK) for their full activity .
InnateDB Annotation from Orthologs
Summary
[Homo sapiens] MAPK8 phosphorylates IRF3 and is essential for IRF3 dimerization induced by polyinosinic-cytidylic acid (polyI:C).
[Homo sapiens] Mycobacterium tuberculosis phosphatase PtpA suppresses innate immunity by binding to ubiquitin; which, in turn, activates it to dephosphorylate phosphorylated MAPK8 and MAPK14.
Entrez Gene
Summary This gene does not have any Entrez summary - the following is the summary from its human ortholog ENSG00000107643:
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the MAP kinase family. MAP kinases act as an integration point for multiple biochemical signals, and are involved in a wide variety of cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, transcription regulation and development. This kinase is activated by various cell stimuli, and targets specific transcription factors, and thus mediates immediate-early gene expression in response to cell stimuli. The activation of this kinase by tumor-necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) is found to be required for TNF-alpha induced apoptosis. This kinase is also involved in UV radiation induced apoptosis, which is thought to be related to cytochrom c-mediated cell death pathway. Studies of the mouse counterpart of this gene suggested that this kinase play a key role in T cell proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation. Four alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been reported. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
