Summary: Enables JUN kinase activity and RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including determination of adult lifespan; negative regulation of cellular response to manganese ion; and vesicle transport along actin filament. Located in several cellular components, including axon; neuronal cell body; and nucleus. Is expressed in neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including abdominal aortic aneurysm; chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis; intestinal benign neoplasm (multiple); pancreatic adenocarcinoma; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human MAPK10 (mitogen-activated protein kinase 10); MAPK8 (mitogen-activated protein kinase 8); and MAPK9 (mitogen-activated protein kinase 9).

Thus, Bifidobacterium longum BB68 increased the longevity of nematodes by activating the TIR-1 - JNK-1 - DAF-16 signaling pathway, and the cell wall component of BB68 contributed to longevity.

responsible for the immune response elicited by the host during the Shigella flexneri infection
Title: Intrinsic JNK-MAPK pathway involvement requires daf-16-mediated immune response during Shigella flexneri infection in C. elegans.
Findings indicate the MIG-15/JNK-1 pathway can restrict both glutamatergic synapse formation and short-term learning.
Title: A MIG-15/JNK-1 MAP kinase cascade opposes RPM-1 signaling in synapse formation and learning.
Our genetic study unravelled the underlying pathway where JNK-1 is acting independently of insulin-IGF-1 signalling (IIS) pathway to modulate longevity. In support of in vivo results in silico docking study of UA with C. elegans JNK-1 ATP-binding site suggested promising binding affinity exhibiting binding energy of -8.11 kcalmol(-1). UA induced JNK-1 activation in wild-type animals underlie the importance of pharmacologi
Title: 3β-Hydroxy-urs-12-en-28-oic acid prolongs lifespan in C. elegans by modulating JNK-1.
the stress response is controlled by a c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)-like mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway, which is regulated by MLK-1 MAPK kinase kinase (MAPKKK), MEK-1 MAPK kinase (MAPKK), and KGB-1 JNK-like MAPK.
Title: Role of the Caenorhabditis elegans Shc adaptor protein in the c-Jun N-terminal kinase signaling pathway.
The present study shows in Caenorhabditis elegans that ambient temperature (1-37 degrees C) specifically influences the activation (phosphorylation) of the MAP kinase JNK-1 as well as the nuclear translocation of DAF-16.
Title: The MAP kinase JNK-1 of Caenorhabditis elegans: location, activation, and influences over temperature-dependent insulin-like signaling, stress responses, and fitness.
JNK-1 directly interacts with and phosphorylates DAF-16. Moreover, in response to heat stress, JNK-1 promotes the translocation of DAF-16 into the nucleus.
