MSK1 Polyclonal Antibody

MSK1 is a mitogen and stress activated protein kinase 1 which belongs to the AGC family of kinases and is related in structure to the ribosomal p70 S6 kinase subfamily. MSK1 can be activated by ERK1/2 and SAPK2/p38 MAP kinase. It is also known to be required for the phosphorylation of CREB, ATF1 H3 and HMG14 in response to mitogen and stress. Similar to RSK, MSK1 contains two kinase domains (N term and a C term) . Once phosphorylated on Thr581 and Ser360 by ERK1/2 and SAPK2/p38, MSK1 autophosphorylate on at least 5 sites. Of these autophosphorylation sites Ser212 and Ser376 get phosphorylated by the C terminal kinase domain of MSK1 which is essential for the catalytic activity of the N terminal kinase domain. MSK2 plays an essential role in the control of RELA transcriptional activity in response to TNF. Phosphorylates 'Ser-10' of histone H3 in response to mitogenics, stress stimuli and EGF, which results in the transcriptional activation of several immediate early genes, including proto-oncogenes c-fos/FOS and c-jun/JUN. May also phosphorylate 'Ser-28' of histone H3. Mediates the mitogen- and stress-induced phosphorylation of high mobility group protein 1 (HMGN1/HMG14) . In lipopolysaccharide-stimulated primary macrophages, acts downstream of the Toll-like receptor TLR4 to limit the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Functions probably by inducing transcription of the MAP kinase phosphatase DUSP1 and the anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin 10 (IL10), via CREB1 and ATF1 transcription factors.
