- Claim: We claim
- Claim: 1. A substantially pure human mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MKK) polypeptide having serine, threonine, and tyrosine kinase activity, wherein said MKK polypeptide phosphorylates human mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase p38, has a molecular weight of about 36 kD, and is encoded by a nucleic acid sequence that hybridizes under stringent conditions to a sequence fully complementary to the nucleic acid sequence of GenBank accession number L36719.
- Claim: 2. A polypeptide of claim 1 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2.
- Claim: 3. A substantially pure human mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MKK) polypeptide having serine, threonine, and tyrosine kinase activity, wherein said MKK polypeptide phosphorylates human mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase p38 and human c-Jun amino-terminal kinase (JNK), has a molecular weight of about 44 kD, and is encoded by a nucleic acid sequence that hybridizes under stringent conditions to a sequence fully complementary to the nucleic acid sequence of GenBank accession number L36870.
- Claim: 4. A polypeptide of claim 3 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1.
