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, Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase Type II; STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. CaMKs are multifunctional calcium and calmodulin (CaM) stimulated STKs involved in cell cycle regulation. There are several types of CaMKs including CaMKI, CaMKII, and CaMKIV. CaMKs contain an N-terminal catalytic domain followed by a regulatory domain that harbors a CaM binding site. In addition, CaMKII contains a C-terminal association domain that facilitates oligomerization. There are four CaMKII proteins (alpha, beta, gamma, delta) encoded by different genes; each gene undergoes alternative splicing to produce more than 30 isoforms. CaMKII-alpha and -beta are enriched in neurons while CaMKII-gamma and -delta are predominant in myocardium. CaMKII is a signaling molecule that translates upstream calcium and reactive oxygen species (ROS) signals into downstream responses that play important roles in synaptic function and cardiovascular physiology. It is a major component of the postsynaptic density and is critical in regulating synaptic plasticity including long-term potentiation. It is critical in regulating ion channels and proteins involved in myocardial excitation-contraction and excitation-transcription coupling. Excessive CaMKII activity promotes processes that contribute to heart failure and arrhythmias. The CaMKII subfamily is part of a larger superfamily that includes the catalytic domains of other protein kinases, RIO kinases, aminoglycoside phosphotransferase, choline kinase, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase.

The catalytic domain of CAMK family Serine/Threonine Kinases; STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. CaMKs are multifunctional calcium and calmodulin (CaM) stimulated STKs involved in cell cycle regulation. There are several types of CaMKs including CaMKI, CaMKII, and CaMKIV. CaMKI proteins are monomeric and they play pivotal roles in the nervous system, including long-term potentiation, dendritic arborization, neurite outgrowth, and the formation of spines, synapses, and axons. CaMKII is a signaling molecule that translates upstream calcium and reactive oxygen species (ROS) signals into downstream responses that play important roles in synaptic function and cardiovascular physiology. CAMKIV is implicated in regulating several transcription factors like CREB, MEF2, and retinoid orphan receptors, as well as in T-cell development and signaling. The CAMK family also consists of other related kinases including the Phosphorylase kinase Gamma subunit (PhKG), the C-terminal kinase domains of Ribosomal S6 kinase (RSK) and Mitogen and stress-activated kinase (MSK), Doublecortin-like kinase (DCKL), and the MAPK-activated protein kinases MK2, MK3, and MK5, among others. The CAMK family is part of a larger superfamily that includes the catalytic domains of other protein STKs, protein tyrosine kinases, RIO kinases, aminoglycoside phosphotransferase, choline kinase, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase.

Catalytic domain of the Serine/Threonine Kinase, Doublecortin-like kinase (also called Doublecortin-like and CAM kinase-like); STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. DCKL (or DCAMKL) proteins belong to the doublecortin (DCX) family of proteins which are involved in neuronal migration, neurogenesis, and eye receptor development, among others. Family members typically contain tandem doublecortin (DCX) domains at the N-terminus; DCX domains can bind microtubules and serve as protein-interaction platforms. In addition, DCKL proteins contain a C-terminal kinase domain with similarity to CAMKs. They are involved in the regulation of cAMP signaling. Vertebrates contain three DCKL proteins (DCKL1-3); DCKL1 and 2 also contain a serine, threonine, and proline rich domain (SP), while DCKL3 contains only a single DCX domain instead of tandem domains. The DCKL 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, Phosphorylase kinase Gamma subunit; STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. Phosphorylase kinase (PhK) catalyzes the phosphorylation of inactive phosphorylase b to form the active phosphorylase a. It coordinates hormonal, metabolic, and neuronal signals to initiate the breakdown of glycogen stores, which enables the maintenance of blood-glucose homeostasis during fasting, and is also used as a source of energy for muscle contraction. PhK is one of the largest and most complex protein kinases, composed of a heterotetramer containing four molecules each of four subunit types: one catalytic (gamma) and three regulatory (alpha, beta, and delta). Each subunit has tissue-specific isoforms or splice variants. Vertebrates contain two isoforms of the gamma subunit (gamma 1 and gamma 2). The gamma subunit, when isolated, is constitutively active and does not require phosphorylation of the A-loop for activity. The regulatory subunits restrain this kinase activity until signals are received to relieve this inhibition. For example, the kinase is activated in response to hormonal stimulation, after autophosphorylation or phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent kinase of the alpha and beta subunits. The high-affinity binding of ADP to the beta subunit also stimulates kinase activity, whereas calcium relieves inhibition by binding to the delta (calmodulin) subunit. The PhKG 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 kinases, Mitogen-activated protein kinase-activated protein kinases; STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. This subfamily is composed of the MAPK-activated protein kinases MK2, MK3, MK5 (also called PRAK for p38-regulated/activated protein kinase), and related proteins. These proteins contain a catalytic kinase domain followed by a C-terminal autoinhibitory region that contains nuclear localization (NLS) and nuclear export (NES) signals with a p38 MAPK docking motif that overlaps the NLS. In addition, MK2 and MK3 contain an N-terminal proline-rich region that can bind to SH3 domains. MK2 and MK3 are bonafide substrates for the MAPK p38, while MK5 plays a functional role in the p38 MAPK pathway although their direct interaction has been difficult to detect. MK2 and MK3 are closely related and show, thus far, indistinguishable substrate specificity, while MK5 shows a distinct spectrum of substrates. MK2 and MK3 are mainly involved in the regulation of gene expression and they participate in diverse cellular processes such as endocytosis, cytokine production, cytoskeletal reorganization, cell migration, cell cycle control and chromatin remodeling. They are implicated in inflammation and cance and their substrates include mRNA-AU-rich-element (ARE)-binding proteins (TTP and hnRNP A0), Hsp proteins (Hsp27 and Hsp25) and RSK, among others. MK2/3 are both expressed ubiquitously but MK2 is expressed at significantly higher levels. MK5 is a ubiquitous protein that is implicated in neuronal morphogenesis, cell migration, and tumor angiogenesis. It interacts with PKA, which induces cytoplasmic translocation of MK5. Its substrates includes p53, ERK3/4, Hsp27, and cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2). The MAPKAPK subfamily is part of a larger superfamily that includes the catalytic domains of other protein STKs, protein tyrosine kinases, RIO kinases, aminoglycoside phosphotransferase, choline kinase, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase.

Catalytic domain of Brain-specific serine/threonine-protein kinases 1 and 2; STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. BRSK1, also called SAD-B or SAD1 (Synapses of Amphids Defective homolog 1), and BRSK2, also called SAD-A, are highly expressed in mammalian forebrain. They play important roles in establishing neuronal polarity. BRSK1/2 double knock-out mice die soon after birth, showing thin cerebral cortices due to disordered subplate layers and neurons that lack distinct axons and dendrites. BRSK1 regulates presynaptic neurotransmitter release. Its activity fluctuates during cell cysle progression and it acts as a regulator of centrosome duplication. BRSK2 is also abundant in pancreatic islets, where it is involved in the regulation of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. The BRSK1/2 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, Doublecortin-like kinase 2 (also called Doublecortin-like and CAM kinase-like 2); STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. DCKL2 (or DCAMKL2) belongs to the doublecortin (DCX) family of proteins which are involved in neuronal migration, neurogenesis, and eye receptor development, among others. Family members typically contain tandem doublecortin (DCX) domains at the N-terminus; DCX domains can bind microtubules and serve as protein-interaction platforms. In addition, DCKL2 contains a serine, threonine, and proline rich domain (SP) and a C-terminal kinase domain with similarity to CAMKs. DCKL2 has been shown to interact with tubulin, JIP1/2, JNK, neurabin 2, and actin. It is associated with the terminal segments of axons and dendrites, and may function as a phosphorylation-dependent switch to control microtubule dynamics in neuronal growth cones. The DCKL2 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 Kinases, Polo-like kinases; STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. PLKs play important roles in cell cycle progression and in DNA damage responses. They regulate mitotic entry, mitotic exit, and cytokinesis. In general PLKs contain an N-terminal catalytic kinase domain and a C-terminal regulatory polo box domain (PBD), which is comprised by two bipartite polo-box motifs (or polo boxes) and is involved in protein interactions. PLKs derive their names from homology to polo, a kinase first identified in Drosophila. There are five mammalian PLKs (PLK1-5) from distinct genes. There is good evidence that PLK1 may function as an oncogene while PLK2-5 have tumor suppressive properties. PLK1 functions as a positive regulator of mitosis, meiosis, and cytokinesis. PLK2 functions in G1 progression, S-phase arrest, and centriole duplication. PLK3 regulates angiogenesis and responses to DNA damage. PLK4 is required for late mitotic progression, cell survival, and embryonic development. PLK5 was first identified as a pseudogene containing a stop codon within the kinase domain, however, both murine and human genes encode expressed proteins. PLK5 functions in cell cycle arrest.

Catalytic domain of the Alpha subunit of the Serine/Threonine Kinase, AMP-activated protein kinase; STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. AMPK, also called SNF1 (sucrose non-fermenting1) in yeasts and SnRK1 (SNF1-related kinase1) in plants, is a heterotrimeric enzyme composed of a catalytic alpha subunit and two regulatory subunits, beta and gamma. It is a stress-activated kinase that serves as master regulator of glucose and lipid metabolism by monitoring carbon and energy supplies, via sensing the cell's AMP:ATP ratio. In response to decreased ATP levels, it enhances energy-producing processes and inhibits energy-consuming pathways. Once activated, AMPK phosphorylates a broad range of downstream targets, with effects in carbohydrate metabolism and uptake, lipid and fatty acid biosynthesis, carbon energy storage, and inflammation, among others. Defects in energy homeostasis underlie many human diseases including Type 2 diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and cancer. As a result, AMPK has emerged as a therapeutic target in the treatment of these diseases. The AMPK 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 Serine/Threonine Kinase 33; STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. STK33 is highly expressed in the testis and is present in low levels in most tissues. It may be involved in spermatogenesis and organ ontogenesis. It interacts with and phosphorylates vimentin and may be involved in regulating intermediate filament cytoskeletal dynamics. Its role in promoting the cell viability of KRAS-dependent cancer cells is under debate; some studies have found STK33 to promote cancer cell viability, while other studies have found it to be non-essential. KRAS is the most commonly mutated human oncogene, thus, studies on the role of STK33 in KRAS mutant cancer cells are important. The STK33 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.

C-terminal catalytic domain of the Serine/Threonine Kinase, Mitogen and stress-activated kinase; STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. MSKs contain an N-terminal kinase domain (NTD) from the AGC family and a C-terminal kinase domain (CTD) from the CAMK family. MSKs are activated by two major signaling cascades, the Ras-MAPK and p38 stress kinase pathways, in response to various stimuli such as growth factors, hormones, neurotransmitters, cellular stress, and pro-inflammatory cytokines. This triggers phosphorylation in the activation loop (A-loop) of the CTD of MSK. The active CTD phosphorylates the hydrophobic motif (HM) in the C-terminal extension of NTD, which facilitates the phosphorylation of the A-loop and activates the NTD, which in turn phosphorylates downstream targets. MSKs are predominantly nuclear proteins. They are widely expressed in many tissues including heart, brain, lung, liver, kidney, and pancreas. There are two isoforms of MSK, called MSK1 and MSK2. The MSK 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, Myosin Light Chain Kinase; STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. MLCK phosphorylates myosin regulatory light chain and controls the contraction of all muscle types. In vertebrates, different MLCKs function in smooth (MLCK1), skeletal (MLCK2), and cardiac (MLCK3) muscles. A fourth protein, MLCK4, has also been identified through comprehensive genome analysis although it has not been biochemically characterized. The MLCK1 gene expresses three transcripts in a cell-specific manner: a short MLCK1 which contains three immunoglobulin (Ig)-like and one fibronectin type III (FN3) domains, PEVK and actin-binding regions, and a kinase domain near the C-terminus; a long MLCK1 containing six additional Ig-like domains at the N-terminus compared to the short MLCK1; and the C-terminal Ig module. MLCK2, MLCK3, and MLCK4 share a simpler domain architecture of a single kinase domain near the C-terminus and the absence of Ig-like or FN3 domains.

Catalytic domain of testis-specific serine/threonine kinases and similar proteins; STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. TSSK proteins are almost exclusively expressed postmeiotically in the testis and play important roles in spermatogenesis and/or spermiogenesis. There are five mammalian TSSK proteins which show differences in their localization and timing of expression. TSSK1 and TSSK2 are expressed specifically in meiotic and postmeiotic spermatogenic cells, respectively. TSSK3 has been reported to be expressed in the interstitial Leydig cells of adult testis. TSSK4, also called TSSK5, is expressed in testis from haploid round spermatids to mature spermatozoa. TSSK6, also called SSTK, is expressed at the head of elongated sperm. TSSK1/TSSK2 double knock-out and TSSK6 null mice are sterile without manifesting other defects, making these kinases viable targets for male contraception. The TSSK-like 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.

The catalytic domain of the Giant Serine/Threonine Kinases, Twitchin and Projectin; STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. This subfamily is composed of Caenorhabditis elegans and Aplysia californica Twitchin, Drosophila melanogaster Projectin, and similar proteins. These are very large muscle proteins containing multiple immunoglobulin (Ig)-like and fibronectin type III (FN3) domains and a single kinase domain near the C-terminus. Twitchin and Projectin are both associated with thick filaments. Twitchin is localized in the outer parts of A-bands and is involved in regulating muscle contraction. It interacts with the myofibrillar proteins myosin and actin in a phosphorylation-dependent manner, and may be involved in regulating the myosin cross-bridge cycle. The kinase activity of Twitchen is activated by Ca2+ and the Ca2+ binding protein S100A1. Projectin is associated with the end of thick filaments and is a component of flight muscle connecting filaments. The kinase domain of Projectin may play roles in autophosphorylation and transphosphorylation, which impact the formation of myosin filaments. The Twitchin-like subfamily is part of a larger superfamily that includes the catalytic domains of other protein STKs, protein tyrosine kinases, RIO kinases, aminoglycoside phosphotransferase, choline kinase, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase.

C-terminal catalytic domain of the Serine/Threonine Kinase, Ribosomal S6 kinase 2 (also called 90kDa ribosomal protein S6 kinase 3 or Ribosomal protein S6 kinase alpha-3); STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. RSK2 is also called p90RSK3, RPS6KA3, S6K-alpha-3, or MAPK-activated protein kinase 1b (MAPKAPK-1b). RSK2 is expressed highly in the regions of the brain with high synaptic activity. It plays a role in the maintenance and consolidation of excitatory synapses. It is a specific modulator of phospholipase D in calcium-regulated exocytosis. Mutations in the RSK2 gene, RPS6KA3, cause Coffin-Lowry syndrome (CLS), a rare syndromic form of X-linked mental retardation characterized by growth and psychomotor retardation and skeletal abnormalities. RSK2 is one of four RSK isoforms (RSK1-4) from distinct genes present in vertebrates. RSKs contain an N-terminal kinase domain (NTD) from the AGC family and a C-terminal kinase domain (CTD) from the CAMK family. They are activated by signaling inputs from extracellular regulated kinase (ERK) and phosphoinositide dependent kinase 1 (PDK1). ERK phosphorylates and activates the CTD of RSK, serving as a docking site for PDK1, which phosphorylates and activates the NTD, which in turn phosphorylates all known RSK substrates. RSKs act as downstream effectors of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and play key roles in mitogen-activated cell growth, differentiation, and survival. The RSK2 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.

Pseudokinase domain of Tribbles Homolog 1; The pseudokinase domain shows similarity to protein kinases but lacks crucial residues for catalytic activity. TRB1 interacts directly with the mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) kinase MKK4, an activator of JNK. It regulates vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and chemotaxis through the JNK signaling pathway. It is found to be down-regulated in human acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and may play a role in the pathogenesis of the disease. It has also been identified as a potential biomarker for antibody-mediated allograft failure. TRB1 is one of three Tribbles Homolog (TRB) proteins present in vertebrates that are encoded by three separate genes. TRB proteins interact with many proteins involved in signalling pathways. They play scaffold-like regulatory functions and affect many cellular processes such as mitosis, apoptosis, and gene expression. The TRB1 subfamily is part of a larger superfamily that includes the catalytic domains of serine/threonine kinases, protein tyrosine kinases, RIO kinases, aminoglycoside phosphotransferase, choline kinase, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase.
