C-mip interacts with the p85 subunit of PI3 kinase and exerts a dual effect on ERK signaling via the recruitment of Dip1 and DAP kinase.

In naive T cells, Lck exerts a negative control on the ERK/MAPK pathway. We show that c-mip (c-maf inducing protein) interacts with the p85 subunit of PI3 kinase and inactivates Lck, which results in Erk1/2 and p38 MAPK activation. This effect is not enough to activate AP1 given the inability ...
of ERK to migrate into the nucleus and to transactivate its target genes. We demonstrate that c-mip interacts with Dip1 and upregulates DAPK, which blocks the nuclear translocation of ERK1/2. This dual effect of c-mip is unique and might represent a potential mechanism to prevent the development of an immune response.
