Protein Kinases, catalytic domain; The protein kinase superfamily is mainly composed of the catalytic domains of serine/threonine-specific and tyrosine-specific protein kinases. It also includes RIO kinases, which are atypical serine protein kinases, aminoglycoside phosphotransferases, and choline kinases. These proteins catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to hydroxyl groups in specific substrates such as serine, threonine, or tyrosine residues of proteins.

Catalytic domain of the Serine/Threonine Kinase, Classical (or Conventional) Protein Kinase C; STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. cPKCs are potent kinases for histones, myelin basic protein, and protamine. They depend on calcium, DAG (1,2-diacylglycerol), and in most cases, phosphatidylserine (PS) for activation. cPKCs contain a calcium-binding C2 region in their regulatory domain. There are four cPKC isoforms, named alpha, betaI, betaII, and gamma. PKC-gamma is mainly expressed in neuronal tissues. It plays a role in protection from ischemia. PKCs are classified into three groups (classical, atypical, and novel) depending on their mode of activation and the structural characteristics of their regulatory domain. The cPKC subfamily is part of a larger superfamily that includes the catalytic domains of other STKs, protein tyrosine kinases, RIO kinases, aminoglycoside phosphotransferase, choline kinase, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase.

Catalytic domain of the Serine/Threonine Kinase, Protein Kinase C; STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. PKCs are classified into three groups (classical, atypical, and novel) depending on their mode of activation and the structural characteristics of their regulatory domain. PKCs undergo three phosphorylations in order to take mature forms. In addition, classical PKCs depend on calcium, DAG (1,2-diacylglycerol), and in most cases, phosphatidylserine (PS) for activation. Novel PKCs are calcium-independent, but require DAG and PS for activity, while atypical PKCs only require PS. PKCs phosphorylate and modify the activities of a wide variety of cellular proteins including receptors, enzymes, cytoskeletal proteins, transcription factors, and other kinases. They play a central role in signal transduction pathways that regulate cell migration and polarity, proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Also included in this subfamily are the PKC-like proteins, called PKNs. The PKC subfamily is part of a larger superfamily that includes the catalytic domains of other STKs, protein tyrosine kinases, RIO kinases, aminoglycoside phosphotransferase, choline kinase, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase.

Catalytic domain of the Serine/Threonine Kinase, Novel Protein Kinase C theta; STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. PKC-theta is selectively expressed in T-cells and plays an important and non-redundant role in several aspects of T-cell biology. Although T-cells also express other PKC isoforms, PKC-theta is unique in that upon antigen stimulation, it is translocated to the plasma membrane at the immunological synapse, where it mediates signals essential for T-cell activation. It is essential for TCR-induced proliferation, cytokine production, T-cell survival, and the differentiation and effector function of T-helper (Th) cells, particularly Th2 and Th17. PKC-theta is being developed as a therapeutic target for Th2-mediated allergic inflammation and Th17-mediated autoimmune diseases. PKCs are classified into three groups (classical, atypical, and novel) depending on their mode of activation and the structural characteristics of their regulatory domain. nPKCs are calcium-independent, but require DAG (1,2-diacylglycerol) and phosphatidylserine (PS) for activity.
