DMPK is expressed in skeletal and cardiac muscles, and in central nervous tissues. The functional role of DMPK is not fully understood. It may play a role in the signal transduction and homeostasis of calcium. The DMPK gene is implicated in myotonic dystrophy 1 (DM1), an inherited multisystemic disorder with symptoms that include muscle hyperexcitability, progressive muscle weakness and wasting, cataract development, testicular atrophy, and cardiac conduction defects. The genetic basis for DM1 is the mutational expansion of a CTG repeat in the 3'-UTR of DMPK. MRCK is activated via interaction with the small GTPase Cdc42. MRCK/Cdc42 signaling mediates myosin-dependent cell motility. Three isoforms of MRCK are known, named alpha, beta and gamma.

Catalytic domain of AGC family Serine/Threonine Kinases; STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. AGC kinases regulate many cellular processes including division, growth, survival, metabolism, motility, and differentiation. Many are implicated in the development of various human diseases. Members of this family include cAMP-dependent Protein Kinase (PKA), cGMP-dependent Protein Kinase (PKG), Protein Kinase C (PKC), Protein Kinase B (PKB), G protein-coupled Receptor Kinase (GRK), Serum- and Glucocorticoid-induced Kinase (SGK), and 70 kDa ribosomal Protein S6 Kinase (p70S6K or S6K), among others. AGC kinases share an activation mechanism based on the phosphorylation of up to three sites: the activation loop (A-loop), the hydrophobic motif (HM) and the turn motif. Phosphorylation at the A-loop is required of most AGC kinases, which results in a disorder-to-order transition of the A-loop. The ordered conformation results in the access of substrates and ATP to the active site. A subset of AGC kinases with C-terminal extensions containing the HM also requires phosphorylation at this site. Phosphorylation at the HM allows the C-terminal extension to form an ordered structure that packs into the hydrophobic pocket of the catalytic domain, which then reconfigures the kinase into an active bi-lobed state. In addition, growth factor-activated AGC kinases such as PKB, p70S6K, RSK, MSK, PKC, and SGK, require phosphorylation at the turn motif (also called tail or zipper site), located N-terminal to the HM at the C-terminal extension. The AGC family 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.

Yeast contains only one Aurora kinase while most higher eukaryotes have two. Vertebrates contain at least 2 Aurora kinases (A and B); mammals contains a third Aurora kinase gene (C). Aurora-A regulates cell cycle events from the late S-phase through the M-phase including centrosome maturation, mitotic entry, centrosome separation, spindle assembly, chromosome alignment, cytokinesis, and mitotic exit. Aurora-A activation depends on its autophosphorylation and binding to the microtubule-associated protein TPX2. Aurora-B is most active at the transition during metaphase to the end of mitosis. It is critical for accurate chromosomal segregation, cytokinesis, protein localization to the centrosome and kinetochore, correct microtubule-kinetochore attachments, and regulation of the mitotic checkpoint. Aurora-C is mainly expressed in meiotically dividing cells; it was originally discovered in mice as a testis-specific STK called Aie1.

The AMPK-like subfamily is composed of AMPK, MARK, BRSK, NUAK, MELK, SNRK, TSSK, and SIK, among others. LKB1 serves as a master upstream kinase that activates AMPK and most AMPK-like kinases. 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. MARKs phosphorylate tau and related microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs), and regulates microtubule-based intracellular transport. They are involved in embryogenesis, epithelial cell polarization, cell signaling, and neuronal differentiation. BRSKs play important roles in establishing neuronal polarity. TSSK proteins are almost exclusively expressed postmeiotically in the testis and play important roles in spermatogenesis and/or spermiogenesis. The AMPK-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.

Most members are kinases involved in mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling cascades, acting as MAPK kinases (MAPKKs), MAPKK kinases (MAPKKKs), or MAPKKK kinases (MAP4Ks). The MAPK signaling pathways are important mediators of cellular responses to extracellular signals. The pathways involve a triple kinase core cascade comprising of the MAPK, which is phosphorylated and activated by a MAPKK, which itself is phosphorylated and activated by a MAPKKK. Each MAPK cascade is activated either by a small GTP-binding protein or by an adaptor protein, which transmits the signal either directly to a MAPKKK to start the triple kinase core cascade or indirectly through a mediator kinase, a MAP4K. Other STE family members include p21-activated kinases (PAKs) and class III myosins, among others. PAKs are Rho family GTPase-regulated kinases that serve as important mediators in the function of Cdc42 (cell division cycle 42) and Rac.

PKs make up a large family of serine/threonine kinases (STKs), protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs), and dual-specificity PKs that phosphorylate both serine/threonine and tyrosine residues of target proteins. Majority of protein phosphorylation occurs on serine residues while only 1% occurs on tyrosine residues. Protein phosphorylation is a mechanism by which a wide variety of cellular proteins, such as enzymes and membrane channels, are reversibly regulated in response to certain stimuli. PKs often function as components of signal transduction pathways in which one kinase activates a second kinase, which in turn, may act on other kinases; this sequential action transmits a signal from the cell surface to target proteins, which results in cellular responses. The PK family is one of the largest known protein families with more than 100 homologous yeast enzymes and more than 500 human proteins. A fraction of PK family members are pseudokinases that lack crucial residues for catalytic activity. The mutiplicity of kinases allows for specific regulation according to substrate, tissue distribution, and cellular localization. PKs regulate many cellular processes including proliferation, division, differentiation, motility, survival, metabolism, cell-cycle progression, cytoskeletal rearrangement, immunity, and neuronal functions. Many kinases are implicated in the development of various human diseases including different types of cancer. The PK family is part of a larger superfamily that includes the catalytic domains of RIO kinases, aminoglycoside phosphotransferase, choline kinase, phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), and actin-fragmin kinase.

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.

ULK1 and ULK2 have unique and cell-type specific roles, but also display partially redundant roles in starvation-induced autophagy. They both display neuron-specific functions: ULK1 is involved in non-clathrin-coated endocytosis in growth cones, filopodia extension, and axon branching; ULK2 plays a role in axon development. The ULK1/2 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 the Serine/Threonine kinase, Checkpoint kinase 1; STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. Chk1 is implicated in many major checkpoints of the cell cycle, providing a link between upstream sensors and the cell cycle engine. It plays an important role in DNA damage response and maintaining genomic stability. Chk1 acts as an effector of the sensor kinase, ATR (ATM and Rad3-related), a member of the PI3K family, which is activated upon DNA replication stress. Chk1 delays mitotic entry in response to replication blocks by inhibiting cyclin dependent kinase (Cdk) activity. In addition, Chk1 contributes to the function of centrosome and spindle-based checkpoints, inhibits firing of origins of DNA replication (Ori), and represses transcription of cell cycle proteins including cyclin B and Cdk1. The Chk1 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.

GRK2, also called beta-adrenergic receptor kinase (beta-ARK) or beta-ARK1, is important in regulating several cardiac receptor responses. It plays a role in cardiac development and in hypertension. Deletion of GRK2 in mice results in embryonic lethality, caused by hypoplasia of the ventricular myocardium. GRK2 also plays important roles in the liver (as a regulator of portal blood pressure), in immune cells, and in the nervous system. Altered GRK2 expression has been reported in several disorders including major depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and Parkinsonism. GRK2 contains an N-terminal RGS homology (RH) domain, a central catalytic domain, and C-terminal pleckstrin homology (PH) domain that mediates PIP2 and G protein betagamma-subunit translocation to the membrane. GRKs phosphorylate and regulate G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), the largest superfamily of cell surface receptors which regulate some part of nearly all physiological functions. Phosphorylated GPCRs bind to arrestins, which prevents further G protein signaling despite the presence of activating ligand. TheGRK2 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 2 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). The gamma 2 subunit (PhKG2) is also referred to as the testis/liver gamma isoform. Mutations in its gene cause autosomal-recessive glycogenosis of the liver. 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 PhKG2 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.

RSK1 is also called S6K-alpha-1, RPS6KA1, p90RSK1 or MAPK-activated protein kinase 1a (MAPKAPK-1a). It is a component of the insulin transduction pathway, regulating the function of IRS1. It also interacts with PKA and promotes its inactivation. RSK1 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 RSK1 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.

Protein tyrosine and serine/threonine kinase; Protein phosphorylation, which plays a key role in most cellular activities, is a reversible process mediated by protein kinases and phosphoprotein phosphatases. Protein kinases catalyze the transfer of the gamma phosphate from nucleotide triphosphates (often ATP) to one or more amino acid residues in a protein substrate side chain, resulting in a conformational change affecting protein function. Phosphoprotein phosphatases catalyze the reverse process. Protein kinases fall into three broad classes, characterized with respect to substrate specificity; Serine/threonine-protein kinases, tyrosine-protein kinases, and dual specificity protein kinases (e.g. MEK - phosphorylates both Thr and Tyr on target proteins). This entry represents the catalytic domain found in a number of serine/threonine- and tyrosine-protein kinases. It does not include the catalytic domain of dual specificity kinases.

This subfamily is composed of CDK, CDK2, and CDK3. CDK1 is also called Cell division control protein 2 (Cdc2) or p34 protein kinase, and is regulated by cyclins A, B, and E. The CDK1/cyclin A complex controls G2 phase entry and progression while the CDK1/cyclin B complex is critical for G2 to M phase transition. CDK2 is regulated by cyclin E or cyclin A. Upon activation by cyclin E, it phosphorylates the retinoblastoma (pRb) protein which activates E2F mediated transcription and allows cells to move into S phase. The CDK2/cyclin A complex plays a role in regulating DNA replication. Studies in knockout mice revealed that CDK1 can compensate for the loss of the cdk2 gene as it can also bind cyclin E and drive G1 to S phase transition. CDK3 is regulated by cyclin C and it phosphorylates pRB specifically during the G0/G1 transition. This phosphorylation is required for cells to exit G0 efficiently and enter the G1 phase. The plant-specific B-type CDKs are expressed from the late S to the M phase of the cell cycle. They are characterized by the cyclin binding motif PPT[A/T]LRE. They play a role in controlling mitosis and integrating developmental pathways, such as stomata and leaf development. CdkB has been shown to associate with both cyclin B, which controls G2/M transition, and cyclin D, which acts as a mediator in linking extracellular signals to the cell cycle.

Catalytic domain of Protein Tyrosine Kinases; PTKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to tyrosine (tyr) residues in protein substrates. They can be classified into receptor and non-receptor tyr kinases. PTKs play important roles in many cellular processes including, lymphocyte activation, epithelium growth and maintenance, metabolism control, organogenesis regulation, survival, proliferation, differentiation, migration, adhesion, motility, and morphogenesis. Receptor tyr kinases (RTKs) are integral membrane proteins which contain an extracellular ligand-binding region, a transmembrane segment, and an intracellular tyr kinase domain. RTKs are usually activated through ligand binding, which causes dimerization and autophosphorylation of the intracellular tyr kinase catalytic domain, leading to intracellular signaling. Some RTKs are orphan receptors with no known ligands. Non-receptor (or cytoplasmic) tyr kinases are distributed in different intracellular compartments and are usually multi-domain proteins containing a catalytic tyr kinase domain as well as various regulatory domains such as SH3 and SH2. PTKs are usually autoinhibited and require a mechanism for activation. In many PTKs, the phosphorylation of tyr residues in the activation loop is essential for optimal activity. Aberrant expression of PTKs is associated with many development abnormalities and cancers.The PTK family is part of a larger superfamily that includes the catalytic domains of serine/threonine kinases, RIO kinases, aminoglycoside phosphotransferase, choline kinase, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase.

MSK2 and MSK1 play nonredundant roles in activating histone H3 kinases, which play pivotal roles in compaction of the chromatin fiber. MSK2 is the required H3 kinase in response to stress stimuli and activation of the p38 MAPK pathway. MSK2 also plays a role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. MSKs contain an N-terminal kinase domain (NTD) from the AGC family and a C-terminal kinase domain (CTD) from the CAMK family, similar to 90 kDa ribosomal protein S6 kinases (RSKs). MSKs are activated by two major signaling cascades, the Ras-MAPK and p38 stress kinase pathways, which trigger phosphorylation in the activation loop (A-loop) of the CTD of MSK. The active CTD phosphorylates the hydrophobic motif (HM) of NTD, which facilitates the phosphorylation of the A-loop and activates the NTD, which in turn phosphorylates downstream targets. The MSK2 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 the Serine/Threonine Kinases, Cyclin-Dependent protein Kinase 2 and 3; STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. CDK2 is regulated by cyclin E or cyclin A. Upon activation by cyclin E, it phosphorylates the retinoblastoma (pRb) protein which activates E2F mediated transcription and allows cells to move into S phase. The CDK2/cyclin A complex plays a role in regulating DNA replication. CDK2, together with CDK4, also regulates embryonic cell proliferation. Despite these important roles, mice deleted for the cdk2 gene are viable and normal except for being sterile. This may be due to compensation provided by CDK1 (also called Cdc2), which can also bind cyclin E and drive the G1 to S phase transition. CDK3 is regulated by cyclin C and it phosphorylates pRB specifically during the G0/G1 transition. This phosphorylation is required for cells to exit G0 efficiently and enter the G1 phase. CDKs belong to a large family of STKs that are regulated by their cognate cyclins. Together, they are involved in the control of cell-cycle progression, transcription, and neuronal function.

It is overexpressed in many primary tumors including colon, esophageal, and mammary tumors. PAK4 has also been implicated in viral and bacterial infection pathways. PAK4 belongs to the group II PAKs, which contain a PBD (p21-binding domain) and a C-terminal catalytic domain, but do not harbor an AID (autoinhibitory domain) or SH3 binding sites. PAKs are Rho family GTPase-regulated kinases that serve as important mediators in the function of Cdc42 (cell division cycle 42) and Rac. The PAK 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 the Serine/Threonine Kinase, Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase; STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. MAPKs serve as important mediators of cellular responses to extracellular signals. They control critical cellular functions including differentiation, proliferation, migration, and apoptosis. They are also implicated in the pathogenesis of many diseases including multiple types of cancer, stroke, diabetes, and chronic inflammation. Typical MAPK pathways involve a triple kinase core cascade comprising of the MAPK, which is phosphorylated and activated by a MAPK kinase (MAP2K or MKK), which itself is phosphorylated and activated by a MAPK kinase kinase (MAP3K or MKKK). Each cascade is activated either by a small GTP-binding protein or by an adaptor protein, which transmits the signal either directly to a MAP3K to start the triple kinase core cascade or indirectly through a mediator kinase, a MAP4K. There are three typical MAPK subfamilies: Extracellular signal-Regulated Kinase (ERK), c-Jun N-terminal Kinase (JNK), and p38. Some MAPKs are atypical in that they are not regulated by MAP2Ks. These include MAPK4, MAPK6, NLK, and ERK7.

Jak2 is widely expressed in many tissues and is essential for the signaling of hormone-like cytokines such as growth hormone, erythropoietin, thrombopoietin, and prolactin, as well as some IFNs and cytokines that signal through the IL-3 and gp130 receptors. Disruption of Jak2 in mice results in an embryonic lethal phenotype with multiple defects including erythropoietic and cardiac abnormalities. It is the only Jak gene that results in a lethal phenotype when disrupted in mice. A mutation in the pseudokinase domain of Jak2, V617F, is present in many myeloproliferative diseases, including almost all patients with polycythemia vera, and 50% of patients with essential thrombocytosis and myelofibrosis. Jak2 is a member of the Janus kinase (Jak) subfamily of proteins, which are cytoplasmic (or nonreceptor) PTKs containing an N-terminal FERM domain, followed by a Src homology 2 (SH2) domain, a pseudokinase domain, and a C-terminal catalytic tyr kinase domain.

It plays a critical role in T-cell maturation, activation, and T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling. Lck phosphorylates ITAM (immunoreceptor tyr activation motif) sequences on several subunits of TCRs, leading to the activation of different second messenger cascades. Phosphorylated ITAMs serve as binding sites for other signaling factor such as Syk and ZAP-70, leading to their activation and propagation of downstream events. In addition, Lck regulates drug-induced apoptosis by interfering with the mitochondrial death pathway. The apototic role of Lck is independent of its primary function in T-cell signaling. Blk is expressed specifically in B-cells. It is involved in pre-BCR (B-cell receptor) signaling. Src kinases contain an N-terminal SH4 domain with a myristoylation site, followed by SH3 and SH2 domains, a tyr kinase domain, and a regulatory C-terminal region containing a conserved tyr.

CLKs are involved in the phosphorylation and regulation of serine/arginine-rich (SR) proteins, which play a crucial role in pre-mRNA splicing by directing splice site selection. SR proteins are phosphorylated first by SR protein kinases (SRPKs) at the N-terminus, which leads to its assembly into nuclear speckles where splicing factors are stored. CLKs phosphorylate the C-terminal part of SR proteins, causing the nuclear speckles to dissolve and splicing factors to be recruited at sites of active transcription. Based on a conserved "EHLAMMERILG" signature motif which may be crucial for substrate specificity, CLKs are also referred to as LAMMER kinases. CLKs autophosphorylate at tyrosine residues and phosphorylate their substrates exclusively on S/T residues. In Drosophila, the CLK homolog DOA (Darkener of apricot) is essential for embryogenesis and its mutation leads to defects in sexual differentiation, eye formation, and neuronal development. In fission yeast, the CLK homolog Lkh1 is a negative regulator of filamentous growth and asexual flocculation, and is also involved in oxidative stress response.

DYRK1B plays a critical role in muscle differentiation by regulating transcription, cell motility, survival, and cell cycle progression. It is overexpressed in many solid tumors where it acts as a tumor survival factor. DYRK2 promotes apoptosis in response to DNA damage by phosphorylating the tumor suppressor p53, while DYRK3 promotes cell survival by phosphorylating SIRT1 and promoting p53 deacetylation. DYRK4 is a testis-specific kinase that may function during spermiogenesis.

Catalytic domain of the Serine/Threonine Kinase, Mixed Lineage Kinase 3; STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. MLK3 is a mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinases (MAP3K, MKKK, MAPKKK), which phosphorylates and activates MAPK kinases (MAPKKs or MKKs or MAP2Ks), which in turn phosphorylate and activate MAPKs during signaling cascades that are important in mediating cellular responses to extracellular signals. MLK3 activates multiple MAPK pathways and plays a role in apoptosis, proliferation, migration, and differentiation, depending on the cellular context. It is highly expressed in breast cancer cells and its signaling through c-Jun N-terminal kinase has been implicated in the migration, invasion, and malignancy of cancer cells. MLK3 also functions as a negative regulator of Inhibitor of Nuclear Factor-KappaB Kinase (IKK) and consequently, it also impacts inflammation and immunity. Mammals have four MLKs, mostly conserved in vertebrates, which contain an SH3 domain, a catalytic kinase domain, a leucine zipper, a proline-rich region, and a CRIB domain that mediates binding to GTP-bound Cdc42 and Rac. MLKs play roles in immunity and inflammation, as well as in cell death, proliferation, and cell cycle regulation.The MLK3 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.

Unlike p38alpha and p38beta, p38gamma is insensitive to pyridinylimidazoles. It displays an antagonizing function compared to p38alpha. p38gamma inhibits, while p38alpha stimulates, c-Jun phosphorylation and AP-1 mediated transcription. p38gamma also plays a role in the signaling between Ras and the estrogen receptor and has been implicated to increase cell invasion and breast cancer progression. In Xenopus, p38gamma is critical in the meiotic maturation of oocytes. p38 kinases are MAPKs, serving as important mediators of cellular responses to extracellular signals. They are activated by the MAPK kinases MKK3 and MKK6, which in turn are activated by upstream MAPK kinase kinases including TAK1, ASK1, and MLK3, in response to cellular stresses or inflammatory cytokines.

Catalytic domain of Extracellular signal-Regulated Kinase 1 and 2-like Serine/Threonine 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 mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) ERK1, ERK2, baker's yeast Fus3, and similar proteins. MAPK pathways are important mediators of cellular responses to extracellular signals. ERK1/2 activation is preferentially by mitogenic factors, differentiation stimuli, and cytokines, through a kinase cascade involving the MAPK kinases MEK1/2 and a MAPK kinase kinase from the Raf family. ERK1/2 have numerous substrates, many of which are nuclear and participate in transcriptional regulation of many cellular processes. They regulate cell growth, cell proliferation, and cell cycle progression from G1 to S phase. Although the distinct roles of ERK1 and ERK2 have not been fully determined, it is known that ERK2 can maintain most functions in the absence of ERK1, and that the deletion of ERK2 is embryonically lethal. The MAPK, Fus3, regulates yeast mating processes including mating-specific gene expression, G1 arrest, mating projection, and cell fusion. This ERK1/2-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.

Catalytic domain of the Serine/Threonine kinases, Interleukin-1 Receptor Associated Kinases and related STKs; STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. IRAKs are involved in Toll-like receptor (TLR) and interleukin-1 (IL-1) signalling pathways, and are thus critical in regulating innate immune responses and inflammation. Some IRAKs may also play roles in T- and B-cell signaling, and adaptive immunity. Vertebrates contain four IRAKs (IRAK-1, -2, -3 (or -M), and -4) that display distinct functions and patterns of expression and subcellular distribution, and can differentially mediate TLR signaling. IRAK-1, -2, and -4 are ubiquitously expressed and are active kinases, while IRAK-M is only induced in monocytes and macrophages and is an inactive kinase. Variations in IRAK genes are linked to diverse diseases including infection, sepsis, cancer, and autoimmune diseases. IRAKs contain an N-terminal Death domain (DD), a proST region (rich in serines, prolines, and threonines), a central kinase domain (a pseudokinase domain in the case of IRAK3), and a C-terminal domain; IRAK-4 lacks the C-terminal domain. This subfamily includes plant receptor-like kinases (RLKs) including Arabidopsis thaliana BAK1 and CLAVATA1 (CLV1). BAK1 functions in BR (brassinosteroid)-regulated plant development and in pathways involved in plant resistance to pathogen infection and herbivore attack. CLV1, directly binds small signaling peptides, CLAVATA3 (CLV3) and CLAVATA3/EMBRYO SURROUNDING REGI0N (CLE), to restrict stem cell proliferation: the CLV3-CLV1-WUS (WUSCHEL) module influences stem cell maintenance in the shoot apical meristem, and the CLE40 (CLAVATA3/EMBRYO SURROUNDING REGION40) -ACR4 (CRINKLY4) -CLV1- WOX5 (WUSCHEL-RELATED HOMEOBOX5) module at the root apical meristem.

Catalytic domain of the Serine/Threonine kinase, Plant SNT7; STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. SNT7 is a plant thylakoid-associated kinase that is essential in short- and long-term acclimation responses to cope with various light conditions in order to maintain photosynthetic redox poise for optimal photosynthetic performance. Short-term response involves state transitions over periods of minutes while the long-term response (LTR) occurs over hours to days and involves changing the relative amounts of photosystems I and II. SNT7 acts as a redox sensor and a signal transducer for both responses, which are triggered by the redox state of the plastoquinone (PQ) pool. It is positioned at the top of a phosphorylation cascade that induces state transitions by phosphorylating light-harvesting complex II (LHCII), and triggers the LTR through the phosphorylation of chloroplast proteins. The SNT7 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.

Pseudokinase domain, repeat 1, of eukaryotic translation Initiation Factor 2-Alpha Kinase 4 or General Control Non-derepressible-2; The pseudokinase domain shows similarity to protein kinases but lacks crucial residues for catalytic activity. EIF2AKs phosphorylate the alpha subunit of eIF-2, resulting in the overall downregulation of protein synthesis. eIF-2 phosphorylation is induced in response to cellular stresses including virus infection, heat shock, nutrient deficiency, and the accummulation of unfolded proteins, among others. There are four distinct kinases that phosphorylate eIF-2 and control protein synthesis under different stress conditions: GCN2, protein kinase regulated by RNA (PKR), heme-regulated inhibitor kinase (HRI), and PKR-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK). GCN2 is activated by amino acid or serum starvation and UV irradiation. It induces GCN4, a transcriptional activator of amino acid biosynthetic genes, leading to increased production of amino acids under amino acid-deficient conditions. In serum-starved cells, GCN2 activation induces translation of the stress-responsive transcription factor ATF4, while under UV stress, GCN2 triggers transcriptional rescue via NF-kappaB signaling. GCN2 contains an N-terminal RWD, a degenerate kinase-like (repeat 1), the catalytic kinase (repeat 2), a histidyl-tRNA synthetase (HisRS)-like, and a C-terminal ribosome-binding and dimerization (RB/DD) domains. The degenerate pseudokinase domain of GCN2 may function as a regulatory domain. The GCN2 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.

WNKs comprise a subfamily of STKs with an unusual placement of a catalytic lysine relative to all other protein kinases. They are critical in regulating ion balance and are thus, important components in the control of blood pressure. They are also involved in cell signaling, survival, proliferation, and organ development. WNKs are activated by hyperosmotic or low-chloride hypotonic stress and they function upstream of SPAK and OSR1 kinases, which regulate the activity of cation-chloride cotransporters through direct interaction and phosphorylation. There are four vertebrate WNKs which show varying expression patterns. WNK1 and WNK2 are widely expressed while WNK3 and WNK4 show a more restricted expression pattern. Because mutations in human WNK1 and WNK4 cause PseudoHypoAldosteronism type II (PHAII), characterized by hypertension (due to increased sodium reabsorption) and hyperkalemia (due to impaired renal potassium secretion), there are more studies conducted on these two proteins, compared to WNK2 and WNK3.

Catalytic domain of Transforming Growth Factor beta Receptor-like Serine/Threonine Kinases; STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. This subfamily is composed of receptors for the TGFbeta family of secreted signaling molecules including TGFbeta, bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), activins, growth and differentiation factors (GDFs), and anti-Mullerian hormone, among others. These receptors contain an extracellular domain that binds ligands, a single transmembrane (TM) region, and a cytoplasmic catalytic kinase domain. There are two types of TGFbeta receptors included in this subfamily, I and II, that play different roles in signaling. For signaling to occur, the ligand first binds to the high-affinity type II receptor, which is followed by the recruitment of the low-affinity type I receptor to the complex and its activation through trans-phosphorylation by the type II receptor. The active type I receptor kinase starts intracellular signaling to the nucleus by phosphorylating SMAD proteins. Type I receptors contain an additional domain located between the TM and kinase domains called the the GS domain, which contains the activating phosphorylation site and confers preference for specific SMAD proteins. Different ligands interact with various combinations of types I and II receptors to elicit a specific signaling pathway. Activins primarily signal through combinations of ACVR1b/ALK7 and ACVR2a/b; myostatin and GDF11 through TGFbR1/ALK4 and ACVR2a/b; BMPs through ACVR1/ALK1 and BMPR2; and TGFbeta through TGFbR1 and TGFbR2.

PERK (or EIF2AK3) is a type-I ER transmembrane protein containing a luminal domain bound with the chaperone BiP under unstressed conditions and a cytoplasmic catalytic kinase domain. In response to the accumulation of misfolded or unfolded proteins in the ER, PERK is activated through the release of BiP, allowing it to dimerize and autophosphorylate. It functions as the central regulator of translational control during the Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) pathway. In addition to the eIF-2 alpha subunit, PERK also phosphorylates Nrf2, a leucine zipper transcription factor which regulates cellular redox status and promotes cell survival during the UPR. EIF2AKs phosphorylate the alpha subunit of eIF-2, resulting in the downregulation of protein synthesis.

Pseudokinase domain of STE20-related kinase adapter protein; The pseudokinase domain shows similarity to protein kinases but lacks crucial residues for catalytic activity. STRAD forms a complex with the scaffolding protein MO25, and the serine/threonine kinase (STK), LKB1, resulting in the activation of the kinase. In the complex, LKB1 phosphorylates and activates adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinases (AMPKs), which regulate cell energy metabolism and cell polarity. LKB1 is a tumor suppressor linked to the rare inherited disease, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, which is characterized by a predisposition to benign polyps and hyperpigmentation of the buccal mucosa. There are two forms of STRAD, alpha and beta, that complex with LKB1 and MO25. The structure of STRAD-alpha is available and shows that this protein binds ATP, has an ordered activation loop, and adopts a closed conformation typical of fully active protein kinases. It does not possess activity due to nonconservative substitutions of essential catalytic residues. ATP binding enhances the affinity of STRAD for MO25. The conformation of STRAD-alpha stabilized through ATP and MO25 may be needed to activate LKB1. The STRAD subfamily is part of a larger superfamily that includes the catalytic domains of STKs, protein tyrosine kinases, RIO kinases, aminoglycoside phosphotransferase, choline kinase, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase.

JNK2 is expressed in every cell and tissue type. It is specifically translocated to the mitochondria during dopaminergic cell death. Specific substrates include the microtubule-associated proteins DCX and Tau, as well as TIF-IA which is involved in ribosomal RNA synthesis regulation. Mice deficient in Jnk2 show protection against arthritis, type 1 diabetes, atherosclerosis, abdominal aortic aneurysm, cardiac cell death, TNF-induced liver damage, and tumor growth, indicating that JNK2 may play roles in the pathogenesis of these diseases. Initially it was thought that JNK1 and JNK2 were functionally redundant as mice deficient in either genes could survive but disruption of both genes resulted in lethality. However, recent studies have shown that JNK1 and JNK2 perform distinct functions through specific binding partners and substrates. JNKs are mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) that are involved in many stress-activated responses including those during inflammation, neurodegeneration, apoptosis, and persistent pain sensitization, among others.

This subfamily is composed of most class EphA receptors including EphA3, EphA4, EphA5, and EphA7, but excluding EphA1, EphA2 and EphA10. Class EphA receptors bind GPI-anchored ephrin-A ligands. There are ten vertebrate EphA receptors (EphA1-10), which display promiscuous interactions with six ephrin-A ligands. One exception is EphA4, which also binds ephrins-B2/B3. EphA receptors and ephrin-A ligands are expressed in multiple areas of the developing brain, especially in the retina and tectum. They are part of a system controlling retinotectal mapping. EphRs comprise the largest subfamily of receptor PTKs (RTKs).

The resulting downstream signals occur bidirectionally in both EphR-expressing cells (forward signaling) and ephrin-expressing cells (reverse signaling). Ephrin/EphR interaction mainly results in cell-cell repulsion or adhesion, making it important in neural development and plasticity, cell morphogenesis, cell-fate determination, embryonic development, tissue patterning, and angiogenesis. The EphA subfamily is part of a larger superfamily that includes the catalytic domains of other kinases such as serine/threonine kinases, RIO kinases, aminoglycoside phosphotransferase, choline kinase, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase.

It regulates microtubule function by phosphorylating Tau. It activates the c-jun promoter and plays a role in G2 cell cycle arrest. It also controls the degration of c-Myb, which is associated with myeloid leukemia and poor prognosis in colorectal cancer. p38delta is the main isoform involved in regulating the differentiation and apoptosis of keratinocytes. p38 kinases are MAPKs, serving as important mediators of cellular responses to extracellular signals. They are activated by the MAPK kinases MKK3 and MKK6, which in turn are activated by upstream MAPK kinase kinases including TAK1, ASK1, and MLK3, in response to cellular stresses or inflammatory cytokines.

Pseudokinase domain of STE20-related kinase adapter protein alpha; The pseudokinase domain shows similarity to protein kinases but lacks crucial residues for catalytic activity. The structure of STRAD-alpha is available and shows that this protein binds ATP, has an ordered activation loop, and adopts a closed conformation typical of fully active protein kinases. It does not possess activity due to nonconservative substitutions of essential catalytic residues. ATP binding enhances the affinity of STRAD for MO25. The conformation of STRAD-alpha, stabilized through ATP and MO25, may be needed to activate LKB1. A mutation which results in a truncation of a C-terminal part of the human STRAD-alpha pseudokinase domain and disrupts its association with LKB1, leads to PMSE (polyhydramnios, megalencephaly, symptomatic epilepsy) syndrome. Several splice variants of STRAD-alpha exist which exhibit different effects on the localization and activation of LKB1. STRAD forms a complex with the scaffolding protein MO25, and the serine/threonine kinase (STK), LKB1, resulting in the activation of the kinase. In the complex, LKB1 phosphorylates and activates adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinases (AMPKs), which regulate cell energy metabolism and cell polarity. The STRAD alpha subfamily is part of a larger superfamily that includes the catalytic domains of STKs, protein tyrosine kinases, RIO kinases, aminoglycoside phosphotransferase, choline kinase, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase.

JNK1 is expressed in every cell and tissue type. It specifically binds with JAMP (JNK1-associated membrane protein), which regulates the duration of JNK1 activity in response to stimuli. Specific JNK1 substrates include Itch and SG10, which are implicated in Th2 responses and airway inflammation, and microtubule dynamics and axodendritic length, respectively. Mice deficient in JNK1 are protected against arthritis, obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiac cell death, and non-alcoholic liver disease, suggesting that JNK1 may play roles in the pathogenesis of these diseases. Initially, it was thought that JNK1 and JNK2 were functionally redundant as mice deficient in either genes could survive but disruption of both genes resulted in lethality. However, recent studies have shown that JNK1 and JNK2 perform distinct functions through specific binding partners and substrates. JNKs are mitogen-activated protein kinases that are involved in many stress-activated responses including those during inflammation, neurodegeneration, apoptosis, and persistent pain sensitization, among others.

This subfamily includes a subset of Src-like PTKs including Src, Fyn, Yrk, and Yes, which are all widely expressed. Yrk has been detected only in chickens. It is primarily found in neuronal and epithelial cells and in macrophages. It may play a role in inflammation and in response to injury. Src (or c-Src) proteins are cytoplasmic (or non-receptor) PTKs which are anchored to the plasma membrane. They contain an N-terminal SH4 domain with a myristoylation site, followed by SH3 and SH2 domains, a tyr kinase domain, and a regulatory C-terminal region containing a conserved tyr. They are activated by autophosphorylation at the tyr kinase domain, but are negatively regulated by phosphorylation at the C-terminal tyr by Csk (C-terminal Src Kinase). Src proteins are involved in signaling pathways that regulate cytokine and growth factor responses, cytoskeleton dynamics, cell proliferation, survival, and differentiation. They were identified as the first proto-oncogene products, and they regulate cell adhesion, invasion, and motility in cancer cells and tumor vasculature, contributing to cancer progression and metastasis. They are also implicated in acute inflammatory responses and osteoclast function.

It contains the motif HX12CX2CXnCX2CX4HX2CX7C, where C and H are cysteine and histidine, respectively; X represents other residues; and n is either 13 or 14. C1 has a globular fold with two separate Zn(2+)-binding sites. It was originally discovered as lipid-binding modules in protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms. C1 domains that bind and respond to phorbol esters (PE) and diacylglycerol (DAG) are referred to as typical, and those that do not respond to PE and DAG are deemed atypical. A C1 domain may also be referred to as PKC or non-PKC C1, based on the parent protein's activity. Most C1 domain-containing non-PKC proteins act as lipid kinases and scaffolds, except PKD which acts as a protein kinase. PKC C1 domains play roles in membrane translocation and activation of the enzyme.

Class EphB receptors bind to transmembrane ephrin-B ligands. There are six vertebrate EphB receptors (EphB1-6), which display promiscuous interactions with three ephrin-B ligands. One exception is EphB2, which also interacts with ephrin A5. EphB receptors play important roles in synapse formation and plasticity, spine morphogenesis, axon guidance, and angiogenesis. In the intestinal epithelium, EphBs are Wnt signaling target genes that control cell compartmentalization. They function as suppressors of colon cancer progression. EphRs comprise the largest subfamily of receptor PTKs (RTKs).

SRPKs phosphorylate and regulate splicing factors from the SR protein family by specifically phosphorylating multiple serine residues residing in SR/RS dipeptide motifs (also known as RS domains). Phosphorylation of the RS domains enhances interaction with transportin SR and facilitates entry of the SR proteins into the nucleus. SRPKs contain a nonconserved insert domain, within the well-conserved catalytic kinase domain, that regulates their subcellular localization. They play important roles in mediating pre-mRNA processing and mRNA maturation, as well as other cellular functions such as chromatin reorganization, cell cycle and p53 regulation, and metabolic signaling. Vertebrates contain three distinct SRPKs, called SRPK1-3.

Jak1 is widely expressed in many tissues. Many cytokines are dependent on Jak1 for signaling, including those that use the shared receptor subunits common gamma chain (IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, IL-15, IL-21) and gp130 (IL-6, IL-11, oncostatin M, G-CSF, and IFNs, among others). The many varied interactions of Jak1 and its ubiquitous expression suggest many biological roles. Jak1 is important in neurological development, as well as in lymphoid development and function. It also plays a role in the pathophysiology of cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure. A mutation in the ATP-binding site of Jak1 was identified in a human uterine leiomyosarcoma cell line, resulting in defective cytokine induction and antigen presentation, thus allowing the tumor to evade the immune system. Jak1 is a member of the Janus kinase (Jak) subfamily of proteins, which are cytoplasmic (or nonreceptor) PTKs containing an N-terminal FERM domain, followed by a Src homology 2 (SH2) domain, a pseudokinase domain, and a C-terminal tyr kinase domain. Jaks are crucial for cytokine receptor signaling.

The extracellular region contains an immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain, three epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domains, a second Ig-like domain, and three fibronectin type III repeats. Tie receptors are specifically expressed in endothelial cells and hematopoietic stem cells. The angiopoietins (Ang-1 to Ang-4) serve as ligands for Tie2, while no specific ligand has been identified for Tie1. The binding of Ang-1 to Tie2 leads to receptor autophosphorylation and activation, promoting cell migration and survival. In contrast, Ang-2 binding to Tie2 does not result in the same response, suggesting that Ang-2 may function as an antagonist. In vivo studies of Tie1 show that it is critical in vascular development. The Tie subfamily is part of a larger superfamily that includes the catalytic domains of other kinases such as protein serine/threonine kinases, RIO kinases, aminoglycoside phosphotransferase, choline kinase, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase.

Catalytic domain of the Protein Tyrosine Kinase, Abelson kinase; PTKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to tyrosine (tyr) residues in protein substrates. Abl (or c-Abl) is a ubiquitously-expressed cytoplasmic (or nonreceptor) PTK that contains SH3, SH2, and tyr kinase domains in its N-terminal region, as well as nuclear localization motifs, a putative DNA-binding domain, and F- and G-actin binding domains in its C-terminal tail. It also contains a short autoinhibitory cap region in its N-terminus. Abl function depends on its subcellular localization. In the cytoplasm, Abl plays a role in cell proliferation and survival. In response to DNA damage or oxidative stress, Abl is transported to the nucleus where it induces apoptosis. In chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) patients, an aberrant translocation results in the replacement of the first exon of Abl with the BCR (breakpoint cluster region) gene. The resulting BCR-Abl fusion protein is constitutively active and associates into tetramers, resulting in a hyperactive kinase sending a continuous signal. This leads to uncontrolled proliferation, morphological transformation and anti-apoptotic effects. BCR-Abl is the target of selective inhibitors, such as imatinib (Gleevec), used in the treatment of CML. Abl2, also known as ARG (Abelson-related gene), is thought to play a cooperative role with Abl in the proper development of the nervous system. The Tel-ARG fusion protein, resulting from reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 1 and 12, is associated with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The TEL gene is a frequent fusion partner of other tyr kinase oncogenes, including Tel/Abl, Tel/PDGFRbeta, and Tel/Jak2, found in patients with leukemia and myeloproliferative disorders. The Abl subfamily is part of a larger superfamily that includes the catalytic domains of other kinases such as protein serine/threonine kinases, RIO kinases, aminoglycoside phosphotransferase, choline kinase, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase.

Catalytic domain of Ephrin Receptor Protein Tyrosine Kinases; PTKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to tyrosine (tyr) residues in protein substrates. EphRs comprise the largest subfamily of receptor PTKs (RTKs). They can be classified into two classes (EphA and EphB), according to their extracellular sequences, which largely correspond to binding preferences for either GPI-anchored ephrin-A ligands or transmembrane ephrin-B ligands. Vertebrates have ten EphA and six EphB receptors, which display promiscuous ligand interactions within each class. EphRs contain an ephrin binding domain and two fibronectin repeats extracellularly, a transmembrane segment, and a cytoplasmic tyr kinase domain. Binding of the ephrin ligand to EphR requires cell-cell contact since both are anchored to the plasma membrane. This allows ephrin/EphR dimers to form, leading to the activation of the intracellular tyr kinase domain. The resulting downstream signals occur bidirectionally in both EphR-expressing cells (forward signaling) and ephrin-expressing cells (reverse signaling). The main effect of ephrin/EphR interaction is cell-cell repulsion or adhesion. Ephrin/EphR signaling is important in neural development and plasticity, cell morphogenesis and proliferation, cell-fate determination, embryonic development, tissue patterning, and angiogenesis.The EphR subfamily is part of a larger superfamily that includes the catalytic domains of other kinases such as protein serine/threonine kinases, RIO kinases, aminoglycoside phosphotransferase, choline kinase, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase.

Catalytic domain of the Serine/Threonine Kinase, Bone Morphogenetic Protein Type I Receptor; STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. BMPR1 functions as a receptor for morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), which are involved in the regulation of cell proliferation, survival, differentiation, and apoptosis. BMPs are able to induce bone, cartilage, ligament, and tendon formation, and may play roles in bone diseases and tumors. Vertebrates contain two type I BMP receptors, BMPR1a and BMPR1b. BMPR1 belongs to a group of receptors for the TGFbeta family of secreted signaling molecules that also includes TGFbeta, activins, growth and differentiation factors, and anti-Mullerian hormone, among others. These receptors contain an extracellular domain that binds ligands, a single transmembrane (TM) region, and a cytoplasmic catalytic kinase domain. Type I receptors, like BMPR1, are low-affinity receptors that bind ligands only after they are recruited by the ligand/type II high-affinity receptor complex. Following activation, they start intracellular signaling to the nucleus by phosphorylating SMAD proteins. Type I receptors contain an additional domain located between the TM and kinase domains called the GS domain, which contains the activating phosphorylation site and confers preference for specific SMAD proteins. The BMPR1 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 Protein Tyrosine Kinase, Fes; PTKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to tyrosine (tyr) residues in protein substrates. Fes (or Fps) is a cytoplasmic (or nonreceptor) PTK containing an N-terminal region with FCH (Fes/Fer/CIP4 homology) and coiled-coil domains, followed by a SH2 domain, and a C-terminal catalytic domain. The genes for Fes (feline sarcoma) and Fps (Fujinami poultry sarcoma) were first isolated from tumor-causing retroviruses. The viral oncogenes encode chimeric Fes proteins consisting of Gag sequences at the N-termini, resulting in unregulated PTK activity. Fes kinase is expressed in myeloid, vascular endothelial, epithelial, and neuronal cells. It plays important roles in cell growth and differentiation, angiogenesis, inflammation and immunity, and cytoskeletal regulation.

Tec and Rlk (also named Txk) are members of the Tec-like subfamily of proteins, which are cytoplasmic (or nonreceptor) PTKs with similarity to Src kinases in that they contain Src homology protein interaction domains (SH3, SH2) N-terminal to the catalytic tyr kinase domain. Unlike Src kinases, most Tec subfamily members except Rlk also contain an N-terminal pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, which binds the products of PI3K and allows membrane recruitment and activation. Instead of PH, Rlk contains an N-terminal cysteine-rich region. In addition to PH, Tec also contains the Tec homology (TH) domain with proline-rich and zinc-binding regions. Tec kinases are expressed mainly by haematopoietic cells. Tec is more widely-expressed than other Tec-like subfamily kinases. It is found in endothelial cells, both B- and T-cells, and a variety of myeloid cells including mast cells, erythroid cells, platelets, macrophages and neutrophils. Rlk is expressed in T-cells and mast cell lines. Tec and Rlk are both key components of T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling.

IRAKs contain an N-terminal Death domain (DD), a proST region (rich in serines, prolines, and threonines), a central kinase domain, and a C-terminal domain; IRAK-4 lacks the C-terminal domain. Vertebrates contain four IRAKs (IRAK-1, -2, -3 (or -M), and -4) that display distinct functions and patterns of expression and subcellular distribution, and can differentially mediate TLR signaling. IRAK4 plays a critical role in NFkB activation by its interaction with MyD88, which acts as a scaffold that enables IRAK4 to phosphorylate and activate IRAK1 and/or IRAK2.

MAPK6 is expressed ubiquitously with highest amounts in brain and skeletal muscle. It may be involved in the control of cell differentiation by negatively regulating cell cycle progression in certain conditions. It may also play a role in glucose-induced insulin secretion. MAPK6 and MAPK4 cooperate to regulate the activity of MAPK-activated protein kinase 5 (MK5), leading to its relocation to the cytoplasm and exclusion from the nucleus.

Catalytic domain of the Protein Tyrosine Kinase, Tie2; PTKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to tyrosine (tyr) residues in protein substrates. Tie2 is a receptor PTK (RTK) containing an extracellular region, a transmembrane segment, and an intracellular catalytic domain. The extracellular region contains an immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain, three epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domains, a second Ig-like domain, and three fibronectin type III repeats. Tie2 is expressed mainly in endothelial cells and hematopoietic stem cells. It is also found in a subset of tumor-associated monocytes and eosinophils. The angiopoietins (Ang-1 to Ang-4) serve as ligands for Tie2. The binding of Ang-1 to Tie2 leads to receptor autophosphorylation and activation, promoting cell migration and survival. In contrast, Ang-2 binding to Tie2 does not result in the same response, suggesting that Ang-2 may function as an antagonist. Tie2 signaling plays key regulatory roles in vascular integrity and quiescence, and in inflammation. The Tie2 subfamily is part of a larger superfamily that includes the catalytic domains of other kinases such as protein serine/threonine kinases, RIO kinases, aminoglycoside phosphotransferase, choline kinase, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase.

Catalytic domain of Tec-like Protein Tyrosine Kinases; PTKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to tyrosine (tyr) residues in protein substrates. The Tec-like subfamily is composed of Tec, Btk, Bmx (Etk), Itk (Tsk, Emt), Rlk (Txk), and similar proteins. They are cytoplasmic (or nonreceptor) PTKs with similarity to Src kinases in that they contain Src homology protein interaction domains (SH3, SH2) N-terminal to the catalytic tyr kinase domain. Unlike Src kinases, most Tec subfamily members except Rlk also contain an N-terminal pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, which binds the products of PI3K and allows membrane recruitment and activation. In addition, some members contain the Tec homology (TH) domain, which contains proline-rich and zinc-binding regions. Tec kinases form the second largest subfamily of nonreceptor PTKs and are expressed mainly by haematopoietic cells, although Tec and Bmx are also found in endothelial cells. B-cells express Btk and Tec, while T-cells express Itk, Txk, and Tec. Collectively, Tec kinases are expressed in a variety of myeloid cells such as mast cells, platelets, macrophages, and dendritic cells. Each Tec kinase shows a distinct cell-type pattern of expression. Tec kinases play important roles in the development, differentiation, maturation, regulation, survival, and function of B-cells and T-cells. Mutations in Btk cause the severe B-cell immunodeficiency, X-linked agammaglobulinaemia (XLA). The Tec-like subfamily is part of a larger superfamily that includes the catalytic domains of other kinases such as protein serine/threonine kinases, RIO kinases, aminoglycoside phosphotransferase, choline kinase, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase.

Catalytic domain of the Serine/Threonine Kinase, Homeodomain-Interacting Protein Kinase 2; STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. HIPK2, the most studied HIPK, is a coregulator of many transcription factors and cofactors including homeodomain proteins (Nkx and HOX families), Smad1-4, Pax6, c-Myb, AML1, the histone acetyltransferase p300, and the tumor repressor p53, among others. It regulates gene transcription during development and in DNA damage response (DDR), and mediates cell processes such as apoptosis, survival, differentiation, and proliferation. HIPK2 mediates apoptosis by phosphorylating and activating p53 during DDR, resulting in the activation of apoptotic genes. In the absence of p53, HIPK2 targets the anti-apoptotic corepressor C-terminal binding protein (CtBP), leading to CtBP's degradation and the promotion of apoptosis. HIPKs, originally identified by their ability to bind homeobox factors, are nuclear proteins containing catalytic kinase and homeobox-interacting domains as well as a PEST region overlapping with the speckle-retention signal (SRS). The HIPK2 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.

It has been shown to regulate many ion transporters including members of the SLC12A family of cation-chloride cotransporters such as NCC and NKCC2, the renal potassium channel ROMK, and the epithelial calcium channels TRPV5 and TRPV6. WNK3 appears to sense low-chloride hypotonic stress and under these conditions, it activates SPAK, which directly interacts and phosphorylates cation-chloride cotransporters. WNK3 has also been shown to promote cell survival, possibly through interaction with procaspase-3 and HSP70. WNKs comprise a subfamily of STKs with an unusual placement of the catalytic lysine relative to all other protein kinases. The WNK3 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.

protein kinase C conserved region 1 (C1 domain) found in the kinase suppressor of Ras (KSR) family; KSR is a scaffold protein that functions downstream of Ras and upstream of Raf in the Extracellular signal-Regulated Kinase (ERK) pathway that regulates many cellular processes including cycle regulation, proliferation, differentiation, survival, and apoptosis. KSR proteins regulate the assembly and activation of the Raf/MEK/ERK module upon Ras activation at the membrane by direct association of its components. They are widely regarded as pseudokinases, but there is some debate in this designation as a few groups have reported detecting kinase catalytic activity for KSRs, specifically KSR1. Vertebrates contain two KSR proteins, KSR1 and KSR2. KSR proteins contain a SAM-like domain, a zinc finger cysteine-rich domain (C1), and a pseudokinase domain. This model describes the C1 domain. The C1 domain is a cysteine-rich zinc binding domain that does not bind DNA nor possess structural similarity to conventional zinc finger domains; it contains two separate Zn(2+)-binding sites.

Pseudokinase domain of Scy1-like proteins; The pseudokinase domain shows similarity to protein kinases but lacks crucial residues for catalytic activity. This subfamily is composed of the catalytically inactive kinases with similarity to yeast Scy1. It includes four mammalian proteins called SCY1-like protein 1 (SCYL1), SCYL2, SCYL3, as well as Testis-EXpressed protein 14 (TEX14). SCYL1 binds to and co-localizes with the membrane trafficking coatomer I (COPI) complex, and regulates COPI-mediated vesicle trafficking. Null mutations in the SCYL1 gene are responsible for the pathology in mdf (muscle-deficient) mice which display progressive motor neuropathy. SCYL2, also called coated vesicle-associated kinase of 104 kDa (CVAK104), is involved in the trafficking of clathrin-coated vesicles. It also binds the HIV-1 accessory protein Vpu and acts as a regulatory factor that promotes the dephosphorylation of Vpu, facilitating the restriction of HIV-1 release. SCYL3, also called ezrin-binding protein PACE-1, may be involved in regulating cell adhesion and migration. TEX14 is required for spermatogenesis and male fertility. It localizes to kinetochores (KT) during mitosis and is a target of the mitotic kinase PLK1. It regulates the maturation of the outer KT and the KT-microtubule attachment. The SCY1-like subfamily is part of a larger superfamily that includes the catalytic domains of other protein serine/threonine kinases, protein tyrosine kinases, RIO kinases, aminoglycoside phosphotransferase, choline kinase, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase.

Yes (or c-Yes) is a member of the Src subfamily of proteins, which are cytoplasmic (or non-receptor) PTKs. c-Yes kinase is the cellular homolog of the oncogenic protein (v-Yes) encoded by the Yamaguchi 73 and Esh sarcoma viruses. It displays functional overlap with other Src subfamily members, particularly Src. It also shows some unique functions such as binding to occludins, transmembrane proteins that regulate extracellular interactions in tight junctions. Yes also associates with a number of proteins in different cell types that Src does not interact with, like JAK2 and gp130 in pre-adipocytes, and Pyk2 in treated pulmonary vein endothelial cells. Although the biological function of Yes remains unclear, it appears to have a role in regulating cell-cell interactions and vesicle trafficking in polarized cells. Src kinases contain an N-terminal SH4 domain with a myristoylation site, followed by SH3 and SH2 domains, a tyr kinase domain, and a regulatory C-terminal region containing a conserved tyr. They are activated by autophosphorylation at the tyr kinase domain, but are negatively regulated by phosphorylation at the C-terminal tyr by Csk (C-terminal Src Kinase). The Yes subfamily is part of a larger superfamily that includes the catalytic domains of other kinases such as serine/threonine kinases, RIO kinases, aminoglycoside phosphotransferase, choline kinase, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K).

Catalytic domain of the Serine/Threonine kinase, Inositol-requiring protein 1; STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. IRE1, also called Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-to-nucleus signaling protein (or ERN), is an ER-localized type I transmembrane protein with kinase and endoribonuclease domains in the cytoplasmic side. It acts as an ER stress sensor and is the oldest and most conserved component of the unfolded protein response (UPR) in eukaryotes. The UPR is activated when protein misfolding is detected in the ER in order to decrease the synthesis of new proteins and increase the capacity of the ER to cope with the stress. During ER stress, IRE1 dimerizes and forms oligomers, allowing the kinase domain to undergo trans-autophosphorylation. This leads to a conformational change that stimulates its endoribonuclease activity and results in the cleavage of its mRNA substrate, HAC1 in yeast and XBP1 in metazoans, promoting a splicing event that enables translation into a transcription factor which activates the UPR. Mammals contain two IRE1 proteins, IRE1alpha (or ERN1) and IRE1beta (or ERN2). The Ire1 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.

MLK2 is a mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase (MAP3K, MKKK, MAPKKK) and is also called MAP3K10. MAP3Ks phosphorylate and activate MAPK kinases (MAPKKs or MKKs or MAP2Ks), which in turn phosphorylate and activate MAPKs during signaling cascades that are important in mediating cellular responses to extracellular signals. MLK2 is abundant in brain, skeletal muscle, and testis. It functions upstream of the MAPK, c-Jun N-terminal kinase. It binds hippocalcin, a calcium-sensor protein that protects neurons against calcium-induced cell death. Both MLK2 and hippocalcin may be associated with the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease. MLK2 also binds to normal huntingtin (Htt), which is important in neuronal transcription, development, and survival. MLK2 does not bind to the polyglutamine-expanded Htt, which is implicated in the pathogeneis of Huntington's disease, leading to neuronal toxicity. Mammals have four MLKs, mostly conserved in vertebrates, which contain an SH3 domain, a catalytic kinase domain, a leucine zipper, a proline-rich region, and a CRIB domain that mediates binding to GTP-bound Cdc42 and Rac. MLKs play roles in immunity and inflammation, as well as in cell death, proliferation, and cell cycle regulation.

They are receptor PTKs (RTKs) containing an extracellular EGF-related ligand-binding region, a transmembrane helix, and a cytoplasmic region with a tyr kinase domain and a regulatory C-terminal tail. Unlike other PTKs, phosphorylation of the activation loop of EGFR proteins is not critical to their activation. Instead, they are activated by ligand-induced dimerization, resulting in the phosphorylation of tyr residues in the C-terminal tail, which serve as binding sites for downstream signaling molecules. Collectively, they can recognize a variety of ligands including EGF, TGFalpha, and neuregulins, among others. All four subfamily members can form homo- or heterodimers. HER3 contains an impaired kinase domain and depends on its heterodimerization partner for activation. EGFR subfamily members are involved in signaling pathways leading to a broad range of cellular responses including cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, growth inhibition, and apoptosis.

Tyk2 is widely expressed in many tissues. It is involved in signaling via the cytokine receptors IFN-alphabeta, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, IL-13, and IL-23. It mediates cell surface urokinase receptor (uPAR) signaling and plays a role in modulating vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) functional behavior in response to injury. Tyk2 is also important in dendritic cell function and T helper (Th)1 cell differentiation. A homozygous mutation of Tyk2 was found in a patient with hyper-IgE syndrome (HIES), a primary immunodeficiency characterized by recurrent skin abscesses, pneumonia, and elevated serum IgE. This suggests that Tyk2 may play important roles in multiple cytokine signaling involved in innate and adaptive immunity. Tyk2 is a member of the Janus kinase (Jak) subfamily of proteins, which are cytoplasmic (or nonreceptor) PTKs containing an N-terminal FERM domain, followed by a Src homology 2 (SH2) domain, a pseudokinase domain, and a C-terminal tyr kinase catalytic domain. Jaks are crucial for cytokine receptor signaling. They are activated by autophosphorylation upon cytokine-induced receptor aggregation, and subsequently trigger downstream signaling events such as the phosphorylation of signal transducers and activators of transcription (STATs). The Tyk2 subfamily is part of a larger superfamily that includes the catalytic domains of other kinases such as protein serine/threonine kinases, RIO kinases, aminoglycoside phosphotransferase, choline kinase, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase.

Unlike other PTKs, phosphorylation of the activation loop of EGFR proteins is not critical to their activation. Instead, they are activated by ligand-induced dimerization, leading to the phosphorylation of tyr residues in the C-terminal tail, which serve as binding sites for downstream signaling molecules. Ligands for EGFR include EGF, heparin binding EGF-like growth factor (HBEGF), epiregulin, amphiregulin, TGFalpha, and betacellulin. Upon ligand binding, EGFR can form homo- or heterodimers with other EGFR subfamily members. The EGFR signaling pathway is one of the most important pathways regulating cell proliferation, differentiation, survival, and growth. Overexpression and mutation in the kinase domain of EGFR have been implicated in the development and progression of a variety of cancers. A number of monoclonal antibodies and small molecule inhibitors have been developed that target EGFR, including the antibodies Cetuximab and Panitumumab, which are used in combination with other therapies for the treatment of colorectal cancer and non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). The small molecule inhibitors Gefitinib (Iressa) and Erlotinib (Tarceva), already used for NSCLC, are undergoing clinical trials for other types of cancer including gastrointestinal, breast, head and neck, and bladder. The EGFR subfamily is part of a larger superfamily that includes the catalytic domains of other kinases such as protein serine/threonine kinases, RIO kinases, aminoglycoside phosphotransferase, choline kinase, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase.

Catalytic domain of the Serine/Threonine Kinases, Bone Morphogenetic Protein and Anti-Muellerian Hormone Type II Receptors; STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. BMPR2 and AMHR2 belong to a group of receptors for the TGFbeta family of secreted signaling molecules that includes TGFbeta, BMPs, activins, growth and differentiation factors (GDFs), and AMH, among others. These receptors contain an extracellular domain that binds ligands, a single transmembrane region, and a cytoplasmic catalytic kinase domain. Type II receptors are high-affinity receptors which bind ligands, autophosphorylate, as well as trans-phosphorylate and activate low-affinity type I receptors. BMPR2 and AMHR2 act primarily as a receptor for BMPs and AMH, respectively. BMPs induce bone and cartilage formation, as well as regulate tooth, kidney, skin, hair, haematopoietic, and neuronal development. Mutations in BMPR2A is associated with familial pulmonary arterial hypertension. AMH is mainly responsible for the regression of Mullerian ducts during male sex differentiation. It is expressed exclusively by somatic cells of the gonads. Mutations in either AMH or AMHR2 cause persistent Mullerian duct syndrome (PMDS), a rare form of male pseudohermaphroditism characterized by the presence of Mullerian derivatives (ovary and tubes) in otherwise normally masculine males. The BMPR2/AMHR2 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.

It is not linked to the development of ALS2. STRAD forms a complex with the scaffolding protein MO25, and the serine/threonine kinase (STK), LKB1, resulting in the activation of the kinase. In the complex, LKB1 phosphorylates and activates adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinases (AMPKs), which regulate cell energy metabolism and cell polarity. LKB1 is a tumor suppressor linked to the rare inherited disease, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, which is characterized by a predisposition to benign polyps and hyperpigmentation of the buccal mucosa.

Catalytic domain of the Protein Tyrosine Kinase, Ephrin Receptor A2; PTKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to tyrosine (tyr) residues in protein substrates. The EphA2 receptor is overexpressed in tumor cells and tumor blood vessels in a variety of cancers including breast, prostate, lung, and colon. As a result, it is an attractive target for drug design since its inhibition could affect several aspects of tumor progression. EphRs comprise the largest subfamily of receptor PTKs (RTKs). Class EphA receptors bind GPI-anchored ephrin-A ligands. There are ten vertebrate EphA receptors (EphA1-10), which display promiscuous interactions with six ephrin-A ligands. EphRs contain an ephrin binding domain and two fibronectin repeats extracellularly, a transmembrane segment, and a cytoplasmic tyr kinase domain. Binding of the ephrin ligand to EphR requires cell-cell contact since both are anchored to the plasma membrane. The resulting downstream signals occur bidirectionally in both EphR-expressing cells (forward signaling) and ephrin-expressing cells (reverse signaling). Ephrin/EphR interaction mainly results in cell-cell repulsion or adhesion, making it important in neural development and plasticity, cell morphogenesis, cell-fate determination, embryonic development, tissue patterning, and angiogenesis. The EphA2 subfamily is part of a larger superfamily that includes the catalytic domains of other kinases such as protein serine/threonine kinases, RIO kinases, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K).

Ror kinases are expressed in many tissues during development. Avian Ror1 was found to be involved in late limb development. Studies in mice reveal that Ror1 is important in the regulation of neurite growth in central neurons, as well as in respiratory development. Loss of Ror1 also enhances the heart and skeletal abnormalities found in Ror2-deficient mice. Ror proteins are orphan receptor PTKs (RTKs) containing an extracellular region with immunoglobulin-like, cysteine-rich, and kringle domains, a transmembrane segment, and an intracellular catalytic domain. Ror RTKs are unrelated to the nuclear receptor subfamily called retinoid-related orphan receptors (RORs).

C-Raf, also known as Raf-1 or c-Raf-1, is ubiquitously expressed and was the first Raf identified. It was characterized as the acquired oncogene from an acutely transforming murine sarcoma virus (3611-MSV) and the transforming agent from the avian retrovirus MH2. C-Raf-deficient mice embryos die around midgestation with increased apoptosis of embryonic tissues, especially in the fetal liver. One of the main functions of C-Raf is restricting caspase activation to promote survival in response to specific stimuli such as Fas stimulation, macrophage apoptosis, and erythroid differentiation. C-Raf is a mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase (MAP3K, MKKK, MAPKKK), which phosphorylates and activates MAPK kinases (MAPKKs or MKKs or MAP2Ks), which in turn phosphorylate and activate MAPKs during signaling cascades that are important in mediating cellular responses to extracellular signals. It functions in the linear Ras-Raf-MEK-ERK pathway that regulates many cellular processes including cycle regulation, proliferation, differentiation, survival, and apoptosis. The C-Raf 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 InsR subfamily is composed of InsR, Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 Receptor (IGF-1R), and similar proteins. InsR and IGF-1R are receptor PTKs (RTKs) composed of two alphabeta heterodimers. Binding of the ligand (insulin, IGF-1, or IGF-2) to the extracellular alpha subunit activates the intracellular tyr kinase domain of the transmembrane beta subunit. Receptor activation leads to autophosphorylation, stimulating downstream kinase activities, which initiate signaling cascades and biological function. InsR and IGF-1R, which share 84% sequence identity in their kinase domains, display physiologically distinct yet overlapping functions in cell growth, differentiation, and metabolism. InsR activation leads primarily to metabolic effects while IGF-1R activation stimulates mitogenic pathways. In cells expressing both receptors, InsR/IGF-1R hybrids are found together with classical receptors. Both receptors can interact with common adaptor molecules such as IRS-1 and IRS-2. The InsR-like subfamily is part of a larger superfamily that includes the catalytic domains of serine/threonine kinases, RIO kinases, aminoglycoside phosphotransferase, choline kinase, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase.

Type I receptors are low-affinity receptors that bind ligands only after they are recruited by the ligand/type II high-affinity receptor complex. Following activation through trans-phosphorylation by type II receptors, they start intracellular signaling to the nucleus by phosphorylating SMAD proteins. Type I receptors contain an additional domain located between the TM and kinase domains called the GS domain, which contains the activating phosphorylation site and confers preference for specific SMAD proteins.

Drosophila DYRK2 interacts and phosphorylates the chromatin remodelling factor, SNR1 (Snf5-related 1), and also interacts with the essential chromatin component, trithorax. It may play a role in chromatin remodelling. Vertebrate DYRK2 phosphorylates and regulates the tumor suppressor p53 to induce apoptosis in response to DNA damage. It can also phosphorylate the transcription factor, nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT). DYRK2 is overexpressed in lung adenocarcinoma and esophageal carcinomas, and is a predictor for favorable prognosis in lung adenocarcinoma. DYRK3, also called regulatory erythroid kinase (REDK), is highly expressed in erythroid cells and the testis, and is also present in adult kidney and liver. It promotes cell survival by phosphorylating and activating SIRT1, an NAD(+)-dependent protein deacetylase, which promotes p53 deacetylation, resulting in the inhibition of apoptosis.

chromosome segregation protein SMC, primarily archaeal type; SMC (structural maintenance of chromosomes) proteins bind DNA and act in organizing and segregating chromosomes for partition. SMC proteins are found in bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes. It is found in a single copy and is homodimeric in prokaryotes, but six paralogs (excluded from this family) are found in eukarotes, where SMC proteins are heterodimeric. This family represents the SMC protein of archaea and a few bacteria (Aquifex, Synechocystis, etc); the SMC of other bacteria is described by TIGR02168. The N- and C-terminal domains of this protein are well conserved, but the central hinge region is skewed in composition and highly divergent.

reticulocyte binding/rhoptry protein; This model represents a group of paralogous families in plasmodium species alternately annotated as reticulocyte binding protein, 235-kDa family protein and rhoptry protein. Rhoptry protein is localized on the cell surface and is extremely large (although apparently lacking in repeat structure) and is important for the process of invasion of the RBCs by the parasite. These proteins are found in P. falciparum, P. vivax and P. yoelii.

Crescentin protein; This entry represents a bacterial equivalent to Intermediate Filament proteins, named crescentin, whose cytoskeletal function is required for the vibrioid and helical shapes of Caulobacter crescentus. Without crescentin, the cells adopt a straight-rod morphology. Crescentin has characteriztic features of IF proteins including the ability to assemble into filaments in vitro without energy or cofactor requirements. In vivo, crescentin forms a helical structure that colocalizes with the inner cell curvatures beneath the cytoplasmic membrane.

Mitotic checkpoint protein; This family consists of several eukaryotic mitotic checkpoint (Mitotic arrest deficient or MAD) proteins. The mitotic spindle checkpoint monitors proper attachment of the bipolar spindle to the kinetochores of aligned sister chromatids and causes a cell cycle arrest in prometaphase when failures occur. Multiple components of the mitotic spindle checkpoint have been identified in yeast and higher eukaryotes. In S.cerevisiae, the existence of a Mad1-dependent complex containing Mad2, Mad3, Bub3 and Cdc20 has been demonstrated.
