c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)-mediated modulation of brain mitochondria function: new target proteins for JNK signalling in mitochondrion-dependent apoptosis

Abstract: The molecular mechanisms underlying the initiation and control of the release of cytochrome c during mitochondrion-dependent apoptosis are thought to involve the phosphorylation of mitochondrial Bcl-2 and Bcl-x(L). Although the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) has been proposed to mediate the phosphorylation of Bcl-2/Bcl-x(L) the mechanisms linking the modification of these proteins and the release of cytochrome c remain to be elucidated. This study was aimed at establishing interdependency between JNK signalling… Show more

“…The JNK1/2 pathway has been implicated in signalling events in many forms of neuronal apoptosis [36]. In response to a variety of extracellular stimuli, JNK1/2 phosphorylates and regulates the activity of members of the Bcl-2 family (Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, Bim and Bad) [37,38] and modulates Bcl-2 and Bax protein expression [37,39,40].…”

“…However, we cannot rule out the involvement of other adapter proteins, such as HSP, able to transport kinases/phosphatases to mitochondria (53). Recently, the role of JNK and p38 MAPK on mitochondria has been defined in more detail and, besides Bcl-2/Bcl-X L phosphorylation, activation of other pro-apoptotic members of Bcl-2 family (Bim, Bmp) has been reported previously (54) as well as phosphorylation of other ill-defined mitochondrial proteins (55).…”

“…suppression of Bcl-2-binding protein BNIP3 expression (41), caspase inhibition by S-nitrosylation (17,18), interruption of the mitochondrial pathway (42)(43)(44)(45) or induction of heat shock proteins (46). It is likely that some of these mechanisms are downstream consequences of NO-mediated CD95-Tyr nitration, which blocks CD95 activation and the activation of upstream caspases, which are required for mitochondrial amplification of the apoptotic signal.…”
