MLK1 or Mixed-Lineage Kinase 1 is a mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase capable of activating the c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway. The catalytic domain of MLK1 has amino acid sequence similarity to both the tyr-specific and the ser/thr-specific kinase classes. In addition, MLK1 contain 2 leu/ile-zipper motifs and a basic sequence near its C-termini. MLK1 is threonine (and possibly serine) phosphorylated at multiple sites in the activation loop, with phosphorylation of Thr312 required for full activation.

Using the polymerase chain reaction to study mRNA expressed in human epithelial tumor cells, a member of a new family of protein kinases was identified. The catalytic domain of this kinase has amino-acid-sequence similarity to both the Tyr-specific and the
Mixed-lineage kinase 1 (MLK1) is a mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase capable of activating the c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway. Full-length MLK1 has 1104 amino acids and a domain structure identical to MLK2 and MLK3. Immunoblot and mass spectrometry show
