Legacy_information[Wu Y, Han M] all alleles has Egl phenotype, partial larval lethal. lineage defects was observed for ku1 and ku30
[C.elegansII] ku1 : (pka sur-1) suppresses activated ras(let-60(gf), variable Vul, cs Egl, rod-like early larval lethality phenotypes; impenetrant defects in P6.p lineage.OA>10: ku30 (lineage defects), ku33, ku34, ku38(all Egl), n2521 (activated ras suppressor, normal lineage alone, mosaic analysis indicates cell autonomy), pk79tci etc. Cloned: Encodes 375 aa predicted protein, 75-80% identical to mammalian MPK, closest to ERK2 subfamily.

Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionmpk-1 encodes a mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase an ERK ortholog functioning in vulval cell fate specification, cell migration/guidance, defense against bacterial infection, and other processes; in proximal germline, sperm-dependent physiological MPK-1 activation results in phosphorylation based inactivation of NOS-3, FEM-CUL-2-mediated degradation of TRA-1 and the promotion of membrane organization during oogenesis; mpk-1 affect LET-60(Ras)-mediated induction of vulval cell fates, larval viability, morphology of the male spicules; both LIN-1 and LIN-31 act genetically downstream of mpk-1 with respect to vulval induction; MPK-1 is necessary for pachytene cell organization; mpk-1 mutants display germ cells arrested in pachytene; MPK-1 is necessary for the progression from distal to proximal pachytene; MPK-1 promotes pachytene progression, with the rise in dpMPK-1 triggering a transition from a distal pachytene to a proximal pachytene subtype; MPK-1 functions in the germline for meiotic prophase progression and gametogenesis; MPK-1 ERK signaling is necessary for the male germ cell fate; MPK-1 ERK has the nonessential function of promoting the proliferative germ cell fate; mpk-1 acts in combination with mek-2 to permit germ cell exit from the pachytene stage of first meiotic prophase; MPK-1 activation is temporally/spatially dynamic compared to relatively constant levels of total MPK-1.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00001869

Automated_descriptionEnables MAP kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including determination of adult lifespan; intracellular signal transduction; and positive regulation of nitrogen compound metabolic process. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Expressed in F cell; U cell; germ line; gonad; and oocyte. Used to study cancer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Alzheimer's disease; Noonan syndrome 13; carcinoma (multiple); and childhood pilocytic astrocytoma. Is an ortholog of human MAPK1 (mitogen-activated protein kinase 1).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943
