Abstract

PEA-15 is a multifunctional protein that modulates signaling pathways which control cell proliferation and cell death. In particular, PEA-15 regulates the actions of the ERK MAP kinase cascade by binding to ERK and altering its subcellular localization. The three-dimensional structure of PEA-15 has been determined using NMR spectroscopy and its interaction with ERK defined by characterization of mutants that modulate ERK function. PEA-15 is composed of an N-terminal death effector domain (DED) and a C-terminal tail of irregular structure. NMR 'footprinting' and mutagenesis identified elements of both the DED and tail that are required for ERK binding. Comparison of the DED-binding surface for ERK2 with the death domain (DD)-binding surface of Drosophila Tube revealed an unexpected similarity between the interaction modes of the DD and DED motifs in these proteins. Despite a lack of functional or sequence similarity between PEA-15 and Tube, these proteins utilize a common surface of the structurally similar DD and DED to recognize functionally diverse targets.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • MAPK scaffolding proteins JIP1 and PEA-15 and substrates RSK1, MK2, and MEF2a also contain a linear KIM domain that mediates MAPK binding in the cell.

    “Notably, MAPK scaffolding proteins (JNK-interacting protein, JIP1; 29 phosphoprotein enriched in astrocytes 15, PEA-15 30 ) and substrates (Ribosomal protein S6 kinase alpha-1, RSK1; 31 MAP kinase-activated protein kinase 2, MK2; 32 and myocyte enhancer factor 2A, MEF2a 33 ) also contain linear KIM domain, which mediates MAPK binding in the cell.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
