Figure 4 Mitogen-activated protein kinase-activated protein kinase 5 and F-actin remodeling through Hsp27. Mitogen-activated protein kinase-activated protein kinase 5 (MK5) can phosphorylate HSP27 and this stimulates F-actin polymerization. 14-3-3ε can bind and inhibit the enzymatic activity of MK5 and thus prevent F-actin remodeling. 14-3-3ε has also been shown to bind phosphorylated HSP27. MK5 may extricate 14-3-3ε from pHSP27 and releasing pHSP27 which in turn can mediate F-actin polymerization.
