Abstract
Background: WDR62 is a JNK scaffold protein. Results: We identified at the WDR62 C terminus a loop-helix domain that is responsible for its homodimerization and association with another JNK scaffold protein, MAPKBP1. WDR62 dimerization is required for JNK and MKK7β1 recruitment. Conclusion: WDR62 dimerization is required for its scaffolding function. Significance: Scaffold protein association offers another layer of complexity for the fine tuning of signaling pathways.
