MNK1 and MNK2 are shown to be essential in the phosphorylation of eIF4E at Ser209 – with MNK1 being chiefly responsible for inducible phosphorylation following activation of the ERK or p38 MAP kinases, and MNK2 largely mediating basal, constitutive phosphorylation – which in turn modulates mRNA recruitment to the translation machinery and affects processes such as cell growth, stress responses, and tumorigenesis."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "1", "end_ref": "6"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nIn addition, these publications detail how MNK-mediated control of eIF4E phosphorylation influences a diverse range of cellular functions, including oncogenic transformation, immune signaling (via IFN‐regulated pathways), neuronal plasticity, cell migration, apoptosis, and metabolic responses to high‐fat diet or oxidative stress.
