Mitogen‐activated protein kinase ( MAPK ) cascades are tightly controlled through a series of well‐characterized phospho‐regulatory events. In this issue, Takeda et al ([Takeda AN, 2014]) identify the inhibitor of apoptosis protein, XIAP , as a key regulator of ERK 5 activation via uncoupling of upstream kinase activity by non‐degradative ubiquitination.
