MEKK2 and MEKK3 are two closely related
mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) kinase kinases. The kinase
domains of MEKK2 and MEKK3 are nearly identical, although their
N-terminal regulatory domains are significantly divergent. By yeast
two-hybrid library screening, we have identified MEK5, the MAPK kinase
in the big mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 (BMK1)/ERK5 pathway, as a
binding partner for MEKK2. MEKK2 expression stimulates BMK1/ERK5
activity, the downstream substrate for MEK5. Compared with MEKK3, MEKK2 activated BMK1/ERK5 to a greater extent, which might correlate with a
higher affinity MEKK2-MEK5 interaction. A dominant negative form of
MEK5 blocked the activation of BMK1/ERK5 by MEKK2, whereas activation
of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) was unaffected, showing that
MEK5 is a specific downstream effector of MEKK2 in the BMK1/ERK5 pathway. Activation of BMK1/ERK5 by epidermal growth factor and H2O2 in Cos7 and HEK293 cells was
completely blocked by a kinase-inactive MEKK3 (MEKK3kin ),
whereas MEKK2kin had no effect. However, in D10 T cells,
expression of MEKK2kin but not
MEKK3kin inhibited BMK1/ERK5 activity. Two-hybrid
screening also identified Lck-associated adapter/Rlk- and Itk-binding
protein (Lad/RIBP), a T cell adapter protein, as a binding
partner for MEKK2. MEKK2 and Lad/RIBP colocalize at the T cell contact
site with antigen-loaded presenting cells, demonstrating
cotranslocation of MEKK2 and Lad/RIBP during T cell activation. MEKK3
neither binds Lad/RIBP nor is recruited to the T cell contact with
antigen presenting cell. MEKK2 and MEKK3 are differentially
associated with signaling from specific upstream receptor systems,
whereas both activate the MEK5-BMK1/ERK5 pathway.
