Catalysis of the phosphorylation of tyrosine and threonine residues in a c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK), a member of a subgroup of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), which signal in response to cytokines and exposure to environmental stress. JUN kinase kinase (JNKK) is a dual-specificity protein kinase kinase and requires activation by a serine/threonine kinase JUN kinase kinase kinase. Catalysis of the reaction: ATP + a protein serine/threonine/tyrosine = ADP + protein serine/threonine/tyrosine phosphate. Catalysis of the concomitant phosphorylation of threonine (T) and tyrosine (Y) residues in a Thr-Glu-Tyr (TEY) thiolester sequence in MAP kinases. It is a dual-specificity mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase and requires activation by the serine/threonine kinase, MAP kinase kinase kinase.
