Background: MEK1 (MapK/ERK Kinase 1) is a 45-kDa member of the MEK family of dual specificity kinases. MEK is activated by a variety of cellular serine/threonine kinases including c-Raf, A-Raf, c-mos, and MEK Kinase-1. Activated MEK phosphorylates MAP kinase (ERK) at threonine and tyrosine residues. This results in activation of ERK and its signaling pathway. MEK is highly specific for ERK and various MEKs preferentially phosphorylate individual ERK isoforms. MEK1 only activates ERK1 and ERK2. This specificity may result from variations in ERK regions that are known as the phosphorylation lip and kinase backbone. MEK's localization is cytoplasmic, but mitogenic stimulation induces a mass translocation to the nucleus. Mechanisms behind this nuclear translocation remain unknown. However, MEK contains an N-terminal nuclear export signal (NES) that mediates its rapid exodus from the nucleus and restores its unstimulated cellular distribution. The 25/MEK1 monoclonal antibody recognizes MEK1, regardless of phosphorylation status. The specificity of this antibody conjugate for flow cytometric analysis was validated by confirming that RNA-mediated interference (RNAi) of the specific protein reduced the staining of the cells (see figure). Furthermore, the capacity of the RNAi to down-regulate the expression of the relevant protein was confirmed by western blot analysis.
