The ATF2 transcription factor is phosphorylated by different mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases. Here, the authors show that the functionally distinct MAP kinases JNK and p38 control ATF2 through different binding sites and differential phosphorylation, thereby modulating ATF2’s sensitivity to the JNK and p38 pathways.
