Gene
bsk
Protein
Stress-activated protein kinase JNK
Organism
Drosophila melanogaster
Length
372 amino acids
Function
Responds to activation by environmental stress by phosphorylating a number of transcription factors, primarily components of AP-1 such as Jra and also the transcriptional repressor aop, and thus regulates transcriptional activity (PubMed:9224720). Component of the immune response activated by bacterial infection, and is involved in wound healing and in dorsal closure, a morphogenetic movement during embryogenesis (PubMed:8946915, PubMed:9224720, PubMed:10433922, PubMed:11784101). Functions in the systematic response to wounding acting downstream of the Hayan-phenoloxidase PPO1 cascade (PubMed:22227521). Exhibits cytoprotective activity in neuronal cells in response to wounding to the integument (PubMed:22227521). Controls the expression of a phosphatase, puckered, at the edges of wounded epidermal tissue and in the dorsal epithelium during dorsal closure (PubMed:10433922, PubMed:11784101).
Similarity
Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. CMGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family. MAP kinase subfamily.
