The stress-activated protein kinases (SAPK) or Jun-amino-terminal kinases (JNK) are potently activated by stressors such as UV and gamma radiation. Similar to other MAP Kinases, the core signaling unit is composed of a MAPKKK, usually MEKK1-4 or a mixed lineage kinase (MLK), which phosphorylate and activate MKK4-7, leading to dual phosphorylation and activation of JNK kinases. Rho-GTPases (Rac1 and cdc42) can stimulate MEKKs and MLKs, while MKKs can be activated by a GTPase-independent pathway that involves the germinal center kinase family. There are three JNK genes (JNK1,2, 3) with further diversification resulting from alternative splicing. Active JNK dimers can translocate to the nucleus to regulate transcription through phosphorylation of c-Jun, ATF-2 and other transcription factors.

Western blot analysis of PC12 cells untreated (lanes 1 & 3) or treated with calyculin A (100 nM) for 30 minutes (lanes 2 & 4). The blot was probed with anti-JNK1 (lanes 1 & 2) or anti-JNK1 (T183/Y185) (lanes 3 & 4).

Immunocytochemical labeling of JNK in control (Top row) or calyculin A-treated A431 cells (Bottom row). The cells were labeled with mouse monoclonal JNK (C-terminal region) (Left) or mouse monoclonal JNK (Thr-183/Tyr-185) (Right). The antibodies were detected using goat anti-mouse DyLight® 594.

Clone M268 was generated from a dual phosphorylated peptide corresponding to amino acid residues surrounding Thr-183 and Tyr-185 in human JNK1. This sequence has high homology to the conserved site in rat and mouse JNK1 and JNK2.

This antibody detects 46 and 54 kDa* proteins corresponding to the apparent molecular mass of JNK1 and JNK2 on SDS-PAGE immunoblots of human A431 and HeLa cells, as well as rat PC12 cells treated with calyculin A.

*All molecular weights (MW) are confirmed by comparison to Bio-Rad Rainbow Markers and to western blot mobilities of known proteins with similar MW.
