title: Activating MAP KAP kinase 2.
abstract: The crystal structures of MAP KAP kinase 2 in complex with ADP and staurosporine suggest a major reorganization of the glycine-rich loop upon ligand binding. The main determinant for the catalytic activity of MAP KAP kinase 2 is phosphorylation by p38 MAP kinase.
