Scientific Background: ERK2 (MAPK1) is a protein-serine/threonine kinase of the CMGC group and MAPK family. It is involved in the MAP Kinase signalling pathway. The MAP kinase pathway can mediate cell adhesion, growth, survival, differentiation, meiosis, mitosis, and other post-mitotic functions. Phosphorylation of T185 and Y187 by MEK1 an MEK2 increases its phosphotransferase activity. It phosphorylates many diffrent transcription factors, such as ELK1. It acts as transcriptional repressor by binding directly to DNA. It is essential for cyclin D1 induction. MAPK1 phosphorylates BCL2, which contributes to cell survival, the suppression of the apoptotic effect of BAD and up-regulation of the antiapoptotic protein MCL-1. It regulates accumulation of p53 during DNA damage response. ERK2 appears to be a tumour requiring protein (TRP). The active form of the protein kinase normally acts to promote tumour cell proliferation. ERK2 has been linked with the Ewing's Family of tumours, which are rare cancers that are similar to medullablastoma and cerebral primitive neuroectodermal tumours. It is constitutively active in many human tumours, primarily due to altered Ras, Raf, EGFR or other upstream oncoproteins.
