Gene Description

MAPK8 encodes c-Jun N-terminal kinase 1 (JNK1, SAPK1c), a ubiquitously expressed, proline-directed serine/threonine protein kinase of the CMGC group and the JNK subfamily of mitogen-activated protein kinases. JNK1 is the terminal kinase of the stress-activated JNK cascade: pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1, TNF), oxidative, genotoxic, UV and other stresses activate MAP3Ks that act through the dual-specificity kinases MKK4 (MAP2K4) and MKK7 (MAP2K7), which phosphorylate the activation-loop Thr183-Pro-Tyr185 motif (MKK7 preferring Thr183 and MKK4 Tyr185). Docking interactions organise signalling on JIP-family scaffolds and direct JNK1 to substrates carrying D-motifs; activity is terminated by MAPK phosphatases such as DUSP16 (MKP-7) and DUSP8. Activated JNK1 enters the nucleus and phosphorylates AP-1 and related transcription factors (c-Jun Ser63/Ser73, ATF2, JDP2, Elk-1, NFAT3, HSF1), and in the cytoplasm phosphorylates Bcl-2 family proteins (BAD, BIM, BMF, BCL2) and many other substrates (YAP1, SIRT1, SIRT6, CDT1, 4E-T, NLRP3, ALKBH5, BMAL1/CLOCK). Through these outputs JNK1 contributes, in a strongly context-dependent manner, to stress-induced apoptosis or survival, autophagy, inflammasome priming, circadian timing, DNA repair, neuronal development and metabolic homeostasis. JNK1 shares most substrates and functions with its paralog JNK2 (MAPK9).

The phosphorylation of CapZ-interacting protein (CapZIP) by ...
ACCEPT
Summary: CapZIP paper: CapZIP is phosphorylated by stress-activated MAPKs including JNK in vitro, and JNK1 is listed among the MAPKs activated by osmotic/anisomycin stress.
Reason: JNK1 is a terminal MAP kinase; MAPK cascade is correct though general. The more specific JNK cascade (GO:0007254) is also annotated and is the preferred core process.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:15850461
CapZIP was also found to be a remarkably good substrate for several stress-activated MAPKs in vitro and, indeed, is far and away the best substrate for JNK that has so far been identified.

Summary: PIK3R1 R348* neomorph assembles a complex with MLK3/MKK7/JNK; JNK likely tethered indirectly.
Reason: Authors state JNK is likely tethered via MKK7 or intermediaries; no informative MF. Bare protein binding is uninformative and REMOVE is the policy for GO:0005515 when no more informative MF is supported; removal does not mean the reported interaction is false.

Summary: IBA response to mechanical stimulus from PTN008602925; the only extant WITH/FROM grounding is human MAPK8 itself.

MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: JNK1 phosphorylates SIRT1 and increases its histone H3 deacetylation activity.
Reason: The mechanism is JNK1 kinase activity on SIRT1 (captured by the Ser/Thr kinase annotations with SIRT1 as input); annotating the kinase with a regulator MF for its substrate over-states the MF. The regulatory consequence belongs in a causal model rather than as a JNK1 molecular function.

Summary: JNK1 binds TAK1 (MAP3K7) in the IAP/TAK1/JNK1 antiapoptotic cascade.
Reason: The full text studies TAK1 = MAP3K7 (TGF-beta-activated kinase), an upstream MAP3K, whereas the GOA WITH/FROM is UniProtKB:P27448 (MARK3, also called C-TAK1); the partner identifier appears mis-mapped from the name 'TAK1'. The MF itself is correct (MAP3K7 is a Ser/Thr kinase); the more informative term is mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase binding.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:11865055
XIAP, NAIP, and JNK1 bind to TAK1
PMID:11865055
TAK1 is an upstream MAP3 kinase that activates JNK1 and p38 in response to transforming growth factor Ξ²1 (TGF-Ξ²1) stimulation

Summary: JNK1 phosphorylation of NLRP3 S194 promotes NLRP3 deubiquitination, self-association and inflammasome assembly.
Reason: Direct, JNK1-specific mechanism (GO-CAM 635b1e3e00002004), but a downstream, cell-type-specific output of the kinase rather than its core cascade role.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:28943315
JNK1-mediated NLRP3 S194 phosphorylation is critical for NLRP3 deubiquitination and facilitates its self-association and the subsequent inflammasome assembly

Summary: Reactome: JNK/MAPK8 phosphorylation releases BIM from dynein, allowing translocation to mitochondria (term now obsolete).
Reason: GO:1903749 is obsolete (QuickGO: represents a phenotype and was added in error; annotate to the specific regulated process). The regulated process is BIM-driven intrinsic apoptosis; replace with positive regulation of intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway (non-core).
Supporting Evidence:
Reactome:R-HSA-111446
JNK or MAPK8 releases BIM in response to UV irradiation by phosphorylation.

Supporting Evidence:
Reactome:R-HSA-139910
UV irradiation or anoikis induces MAPK8 (JNK) to phosphorylate Dynein Light Chain 2 (DLC2) to release BMF.

Core Functions

Terminal MAP kinase of the stress/cytokine-activated JNK cascade: dual phosphorylation of Thr183/Tyr185 by MKK4 and MKK7 (docked via D-sites and organised on JIP scaffolds) activates JNK1, which relays stress signals by phosphorylating Ser/Thr-Pro sites on downstream substrates.

Nuclear JNK1 phosphorylates AP-1 family and other transcription factors (c-Jun N-terminal Ser63/Ser73, ATF2, JDP2, Elk-1, NFAT3) to regulate stress-responsive transcription, and phosphorylates HSF1 to suppress its activity.

Cytoplasmic JNK1 phosphorylates Bcl-2 family proteins, releasing BIM and BMF from motor complexes to promote intrinsic apoptosis, or inactivating BAD (Thr201) to promote survival, and phosphorylating BCL2 to free Beclin 1 for starvation-induced autophagy; the direction of the effect depends on stimulus and cell type.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: What is the correct source publication for the IEP 'cellular response to mechanical stimulus' row attributed to PMID:19593445 (a BAD/prostate cancer paper that does not mention JNK), and does the PAINT IBD for response to mechanical stimulus at PTN008602925 rest on any other verifiable descendant evidence?

Q: The GOA WITH/FROM for the JNK1-TAK1 interaction (PMID:11865055) is UniProtKB:P27448 (MARK3/C-TAK1), whereas the paper studies TAK1 = MAP3K7 (O43318); should the partner identifier be corrected?

Q: Many process rows (DR5 induction, CD38 cyclase activity, response to glutamine deprivation) rest on pan-JNK inhibitors or antibodies; which of these are JNK1-specific rather than shared with JNK2 (MAPK9)?

Q: Should the many JNK1 substrates (c-Jun, ATF2, BAD, BIM, BMF, SIRT1, SIRT6, NLRP3, ALKBH5, 4E-T, YAP1) be captured as has_input on JUN/MAP kinase activity in JNK-cascade GO-CAMs rather than as regulator MFs or bare binding rows?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Analog-sensitive JNK1 (MAPK8) allele expressed in MAPK8/MAPK9 double-knockout cells, combined with thiophosphate labelling and quantitative phosphoproteomics after anisomycin, UV or TNF stimulation, to define direct JNK1 substrates and separate JNK1-specific from JNK2-shared outputs.

Experiment: Isoform-selective genetic perturbation (MAPK8 vs MAPK9 knockout with rescue) in cells subjected to cyclic stretch or shear stress to test whether JNK1 is required for mechanical-stimulus responses.
