ZAK is a member of the MAPKKK family of signal transduction molecules and mediates gamma radiation signaling leading to cell cycle arrest. The activity of ZAK plays a role in cell cycle checkpoint regulation as well as being involved in regulating actin organization. Expression of kinase-dead ZAK in mouse fibroblasts disrupts actin stress fibers and causes morphologic changes. ZAK can activate JNK through MKK4/MKK7 and ERK5/p38-gamma via MKK3/MKK6. Expression of ZAK increases the population of cells in the G2/M phase of the cell cycle, whereas dominant-negative ZAK attenuated the G2 arrest caused by gamma radiation.

The leucine-zipper (LZ) and sterile-alpha motif (SAM) kinase (ZAK) belongs to the MAP kinase kinase kinase (MAP3K) when upon over-expression in mammalian cells activates the JNK/SAPK pathway. The mechanisms by which ZAK activity is regulated are not well understood. Co-expression

Mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase pathways are three-kinase modules that mediate diverse cellular processes and have been highly conserved among eukaryotes. By using a functional complementation screen in yeast, we have identified a human MAP kinase kinase kinase (MAPKKK) that shares
