The c-Jun amino terminal kinase (p54), which is a distant relative of the MAPK family, was also phosphorylated by the treatment with Hg2+.

Cortical slices (275 microm) were obtained from 1.0 kg NZW rabbits and exposed to mercuric chloride [Hg (II)] at concentrations of 0.01-10 microM for 2-8 h.
A dose-dependent induction of the DNA binding activity of the AP-1 transcription factor after 4 h of Hg (II) exposure correlated with a dose-dependent enhancement of c-jun gene expression following 2 h of Hg (II) exposure.

Stimulation of CTLL-2 cells with IL-2 induced phosphorylation on extracellular signal-regulated kinases more intensively than on c-Jun NH2-terminal kinases (JNKs), and provoked tyrosine phosphorylation of Janus kinases (JAKs) and signal transducers and activators of transcription (STATs).
