ASK1 — Mediated Wiki

{{Short description|Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens}} {{Infobox_gene}} '''Apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1''' ('''ASK1''') also known as '''mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 5''' ('''MAP3K5''') is a member of MAP kinase family and as such a part of mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway. It activates c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases in a Raf-independent fashion in response to an array of stresses such as oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress and calcium influx. ASK1 has been found to be involved in cancer, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases.<ref name="pmid19389260">{{cite journal | vauthors = Hattori K, Naguro I, Runchel C, Ichijo H | title = The roles of ASK family proteins in stress responses and diseases | journal = Cell Communication and Signaling | volume = 7 | article-number = 9 | date = April 2009 | pmid = 19389260 | pmc = 2685135 | doi = 10.1186/1478-811X-7-9 | doi-access = free }}</ref><ref name=":0">{{cite journal | vauthors = Nygaard G, Di Paolo JA, Hammaker D, Boyle DL, Budas G, Notte GT, Mikaelian I, Barry V, Firestein GS | display-authors = 6 | title = Regulation and function of apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 in rheumatoid arthritis | journal = Biochemical Pharmacology | volume = 151 | pages = 282–290 | date = May 2018 | pmid = 29408488 | doi = 10.1016/j.bcp.2018.01.041 | s2cid = 4863537 }}</ref>

== Mechanism of activation ==

Under nonstress conditions ASK1 is oligomerized (a requirement for its activation) through its C-terminal coiled-coil domain (CCC), but remains in an inactive form by the suppressive effect of reduced thioredoxin (Trx) and calcium and integrin binding protein 1 (CIB1).<ref name="pmid19805025">{{cite journal | vauthors = Yoon KW, Cho JH, Lee JK, Kang YH, Chae JS, Kim YM, Kim J, Kim EK, Kim SE, Baik JH, Naik UP, Cho SG, Choi EJ | display-authors = 6 | title = CIB1 functions as a Ca(2+)-sensitive modulator of stress-induced signaling by targeting ASK1 | journal = Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America | volume = 106 | issue = 41 | pages = 17389–94 | date = October 2009 | pmid = 19805025 | pmc = 2762684 | doi = 10.1073/pnas.0812259106 | bibcode = 2009PNAS..10617389Y | doi-access = free }}</ref> Trx inhibits ASK1 kinase activity by direct binding to its N-terminal coiled-coil domain (NCC). Trx and CIB1 regulate ASK1 activation in a redox- or calcium- sensitive manner, respectively. Both appear to compete with TNF-α receptor-associated factor 2 (TRAF2), an ASK1 activator. TRAF2 and TRAF6 are then recruited to ASK1 to form a larger molecular mass complex.<ref name="pmid16129676">{{cite journal | vauthors = Noguchi T, Takeda K, Matsuzawa A, Saegusa K, Nakano H, Gohda J, Inoue J, Ichijo H | display-authors = 6 | title = Recruitment of tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor family proteins to apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 signalosome is essential for oxidative stress-induced cell death | journal = The Journal of Biological Chemistry | volume = 280 | issue = 44 | pages = 37033–40 | date = November 2005 | pmid = 16129676 | doi = 10.1074/jbc.M506771200 | doi-access = free }}</ref> Subsequently, ASK1 forms homo-oligomeric interactions not only through the CCC, but also the NCC, which leads to full activation of ASK1 through autophosphorylation at threonine 845.<ref name="pmid17724081">{{cite journal | vauthors = Fujino G, Noguchi T, Matsuzawa A, Yamauchi S, Saitoh M, Takeda K, Ichijo H | title = Thioredoxin and TRAF family proteins regulate reactive oxygen species-dependent activation of ASK1 through reciprocal modulation of the N-terminal homophilic interaction of ASK1 | journal = Molecular and Cellular Biology | volume = 27 | issue = 23 | pages = 8152–63 | date = December 2007 | pmid = 17724081 | pmc = 2169188 | doi = 10.1128/MCB.00227-07 }}</ref>

ASK1 gene transcription can be induced by inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1 and TNF-α through the activation of the NF-kb protein RelA.<ref name=":0" /> Interestingly, TNF-α is also able to stabilize the ASK1 protein through deubiquitination.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = He Y, Zhang W, Zhang R, Zhang H, Min W | title = SOCS1 inhibits tumor necrosis factor-induced activation of ASK1-JNK inflammatory signaling by mediating ASK1 degradation | journal = The Journal of Biological Chemistry | volume = 281 | issue = 9 | pages = 5559–66 | date = March 2006 | pmid = 16407264 | doi = 10.1074/jbc.M512338200 | doi-access = free }}</ref> Thus, unlike other members of the mitogen-activated protein kinase family, the regulation of ASK1 expression is transcriptional as well as post-transcriptional.<ref name=":0" />
