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, Mixed Lineage Kinase 1; STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. MLK1 is a mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase (MAP3K, MKKK, MAPKKK) and is also called MAP3K9. 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. Little is known about the specific function of MLK1. It is capable of activating the c-Jun N-terminal kinase pathway. Mice lacking both MLK1 and MLK2 are viable, fertile, and have normal life spans. There could be redundancy in the function of MLKs. 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 MLK1 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.

Catalytic domain of the Serine/Threonine Kinase, Mixed Lineage Kinase 2; STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. 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.

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.

Catalytic domain of the Serine/Threonine Kinases, Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Kinase Kinases 12 and 13; STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. MAP3K12 is also called MAPK upstream kinase (MUK), dual leucine zipper-bearing kinase (DLK) or leucine-zipper protein kinase (ZPK). It is involved in the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway that directly regulates axonal regulation through the phosphorylation of microtubule-associated protein 1B (MAP1B). It also regulates the differentiation of many cell types including adipocytes and may play a role in adipogenesis. MAP3K13, also called leucine zipper-bearing kinase (LZK), directly phosphorylates and activates MKK7, which in turn activates the JNK pathway. It also activates NF-kB through IKK activation and this activity is enhanced by antioxidant protein-1 (AOP-1). MAP3Ks (MKKKs or MAPKKKs) phosphorylate and activate MAP2Ks (MAPKKs or MKKs), which in turn phosphorylate and activate MAPKs during signaling cascades that are important in mediating cellular responses to extracellular signals.

Catalytic domain of Fes-like Protein Tyrosine Kinases; Protein Tyrosine Kinase (PTK) family; Fes subfamily; catalytic (c) domain. Fes subfamily members include Fes (or Fps), Fer, and similar proteins. The PTKc family 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). PTKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to tyrosine (tyr) residues in protein substrates. Fes subfamily proteins are cytoplasmic (or nonreceptor) tyr kinases 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 tyr kinase activity. Fes and Fer kinases play roles in haematopoiesis, inflammation and immunity, growth factor signaling, cytoskeletal regulation, cell migration and adhesion, and the regulation of cell-cell interactions. Fes and Fer show redundancy in their biological functions.

Catalytic domain of C-terminal Src kinase-like Protein Tyrosine Kinases; PTKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to tyrosine (tyr) residues in protein substrates. This subfamily is composed of Csk, Chk, and similar proteins. They are cytoplasmic (or nonreceptor) PTKs containing the Src homology domains, SH3 and SH2, N-terminal to the catalytic tyr kinase domain. They negatively regulate the activity of Src kinases that are anchored to the plasma membrane. To inhibit Src kinases, Csk and Chk are translocated to the membrane via binding to specific transmembrane proteins, G-proteins, or adaptor proteins near the membrane. Csk catalyzes the tyr phosphorylation of the regulatory C-terminal tail of Src kinases, resulting in their inactivation. Chk inhibit Src kinases using a noncatalytic mechanism by simply binding to them. As negative regulators of Src kinases, Csk and Chk play important roles in cell proliferation, survival, and differentiation, and consequently, in cancer development and progression. The Csk-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 Protein Tyrosine Kinase, Ephrin Receptor A10; PTKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to tyrosine (tyr) residues in protein substrates. EphA10, which contains an inactive tyr kinase domain, may function to attenuate signals of co-clustered active receptors. EphA10 is mainly expressed in the testis. Ephrin/EphR interaction 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. EphRs comprise the largest subfamily of receptor tyr kinases (RTKs). In general, 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). The EphA10 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.

Catalytic domain of the Protein Tyrosine Kinases, Met and Ron; PTKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to tyrosine (tyr) residues in protein substrates. Met and Ron are receptor PTKs (RTKs) composed of an alpha-beta heterodimer. The extracellular alpha chain is disulfide linked to the beta chain, which contains an extracellular ligand-binding region with a sema domain, a PSI domain and four IPT repeats, a transmembrane segment, and an intracellular catalytic domain. Binding to their ligands leads to receptor dimerization, autophosphorylation, activation, and intracellular signaling. Met binds to the ligand, hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF), and is also called the HGF receptor. HGF/Met signaling plays a role in growth, transformation, cell motility, invasion, metastasis, angiogenesis, wound healing, and tissue regeneration. Aberrant expression of Met through mutations or gene amplification is associated with many human cancers including hereditary papillary renal and gastric carcinomas. The ligand for Ron is macrophage stimulating protein (MSP). Ron signaling is important in regulating cell motility, adhesion, proliferation, and apoptosis. Aberrant Ron expression is implicated in tumorigenesis and metastasis. The Met/Ron 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 Protein Tyrosine Kinase, Focal Adhesion Kinase; PTKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to tyrosine (tyr) residues in protein substrates. FAK is a cytoplasmic (or nonreceptor) PTK that contains an autophosphorylation site and a FERM domain at the N-terminus, a central tyr kinase domain, proline-rich regions, and a C-terminal FAT (focal adhesion targeting) domain. FAK activity is dependent on integrin-mediated cell adhesion, which facilitates N-terminal autophosphorylation. Full activation is achieved by the phosphorylation of its two adjacent A-loop tyrosines. FAK is important in mediating signaling initiated at sites of cell adhesions and at growth factor receptors. Through diverse molecular interactions, FAK functions as a biosensor or integrator to control cell motility. It is a key regulator of cell survival, proliferation, migration and invasion, and thus plays an important role in the development and progression of cancer. Src binds to autophosphorylated FAK forming the FAK-Src dual kinase complex, which is activated in a wide variety of tumor cells and generates signals promoting growth and metastasis. FAK is being developed as a target for cancer therapy. The FAK 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 Src kinase-like Protein Tyrosine Kinases; PTKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to tyrosine (tyr) residues in protein substrates. Src subfamily members include Src, Lck, Hck, Blk, Lyn, Fgr, Fyn, Yrk, and Yes. 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. Src kinases are overexpressed in a variety of human cancers, making them attractive targets for therapy. They are also implicated in acute inflammatory responses and osteoclast function. Src, Fyn, Yes, and Yrk are widely expressed, while Blk, Lck, Hck, Fgr, and Lyn show a limited expression pattern. The Src-like 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.

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 Protein Tyrosine Kinase, Tyro3; PTKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to tyrosine (tyr) residues in protein substrates. Tyro3 (or Sky) is predominantly expressed in the central nervous system and the brain, and functions as a neurotrophic factor. It is also expressed in osteoclasts and has a role in bone resorption. Tyro3 is a member of the TAM subfamily, composed of receptor PTKs (RTKs) containing an extracellular ligand-binding region with two immunoglobulin-like domains followed by two fibronectin type III repeats, a transmembrane segment, and an intracellular catalytic domain. Binding to their ligands, Gas6 and protein S, leads to receptor dimerization, autophosphorylation, activation, and intracellular signaling. The Tyro3 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.

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. A recent study implicates Fes kinase as a tumor suppressor in colorectal cancer. The Fes 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, C-terminal Src kinase; PTKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to tyrosine (tyr) residues in protein substrates. Csk catalyzes the tyr phosphorylation of the regulatory C-terminal tail of Src kinases, resulting in their inactivation. Csk is expressed in a wide variety of tissues. As a negative regulator of Src, Csk plays a role in cell proliferation, survival, and differentiation, and consequently, in cancer development and progression. Csk is a cytoplasmic (or nonreceptor) PTK containing the Src homology domains, SH3 and SH2, N-terminal to the catalytic tyr kinase domain. To inhibit Src kinases, Csk is translocated to the membrane via binding to specific transmembrane proteins, G-proteins, or adaptor proteins near the membrane. In addition, Csk also shows Src-independent functions. It is a critical component in G-protein signaling, and plays a role in cytoskeletal reorganization and cell migration. The Csk 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.

Pseudokinase (repeat 1) domain of the Protein Tyrosine Kinases, Janus kinases; The Jak subfamily is composed of Jak1, Jak2, Jak3, TYK2, and similar proteins. They 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. The pseudokinase domain shows similarity to tyr kinases but lacks crucial residues for catalytic activity and ATP binding. It modulates the kinase activity of the C-terminal catalytic domain. In the case of Jak2, the presumed pseudokinase (repeat 1) domain exhibits dual-specificity kinase activity, phosphorylating two negative regulatory sites in Jak2: Ser523 and Tyr570. Most Jaks are expressed in a wide variety of tissues, except for Jak3, which is expressed only in hematopoietic cells. 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). Jaks are also involved in regulating the surface expression of some cytokine receptors. The Jak-STAT pathway is involved in many biological processes including hematopoiesis, immunoregulation, host defense, fertility, lactation, growth, and embryogenesis. The Jak 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.

Catalytic domain of the Protein Tyrosine Kinase, Receptor tyrosine kinase-like Orphan Receptor 2; PTKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to tyrosine (tyr) residues in protein substrates. Ror2 plays important roles in skeletal and heart formation. Ror2-deficient mice show widespread bone abnormalities, ventricular defects in the heart, and respiratory dysfunction. Mutations in human Ror2 result in two different bone development genetic disorders, recessive Robinow syndrome and brachydactyly type B. Ror2 is also implicated in neural development. 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). RTKs are usually activated through ligand binding, which causes dimerization and autophosphorylation of the intracellular tyr kinase catalytic domain. The Ror2 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 Kinases, Class EphA Ephrin Receptors; PTKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to tyrosine (tyr) residues in protein substrates. 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). 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 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.

TESK proteins phosphorylate cofilin and induce actin cytoskeletal reorganization. In the Drosphila eye, TESK is required for epithelial cell organization. Mammals contain two TESK proteins, TESK1 and TESK2, which are highly expressed in testis and play roles in spermatogenesis. TESK1 is found in testicular germ cells while TESK2 is expressed mainly in nongerminal Sertoli cells. TESK1 is stimulated by integrin-mediated signaling pathways. It regulates cell spreading and focal adhesion formation.

Catalytic domain of the Protein Tyrosine Kinase, Discoidin Domain Receptor 2; PTKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to tyrosine (tyr) residues in protein substrates. DDR2 is a receptor PTK (RTK) containing an extracellular discoidin homology domain, a transmembrane segment, an extended juxtamembrane region, and an intracellular catalytic domain. The binding of the ligand, collagen, to DDR2 results in a slow but sustained receptor activation. DDR2 binds mostly to fibrillar collagens as well as collagen X. DDR2 is widely expressed in many tissues with the highest levels found in skeletal muscle, skin, kidney and lung. It is important in cell proliferation and development. Mice, with a deletion of DDR2, suffer from dwarfism and delayed healing of epidermal wounds. DDR2 also contributes to collagen (type I) regulation by inhibiting fibrillogenesis and altering the morphology of collagen fibers. It is also expressed in immature dendritic cells (DCs), where it plays a role in DC activation and function. The DDR2 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 (PI3K).

Catalytic domain of Tie Protein Tyrosine Kinases; PTKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to tyrosine (tyr) residues in protein substrates. Tie proteins, consisting of Tie1 and Tie2, are receptor PTKs (RTKs) 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. 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 Serine/Threonine kinase, Receptor Interacting Protein 1; STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. RIP1 harbors a C-terminal Death domain (DD), which binds death receptors (DRs) including TNF receptor 1, Fas, TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand receptor 1 (TRAILR1), and TRAILR2. It also interacts with other DD-containing adaptor proteins such as TRADD and FADD. RIP1 can also recruit other kinases including MEKK1, MEKK3, and RIP3 through an intermediate domain (ID) that bears a RIP homotypic interaction motif (RHIM). RIP1 plays a crucial role in determining a cell's fate, between survival or death, following exposure to stress signals. It is important in the signaling of NF-kappaB and MAPKs, and it links DR-associated signaling to reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Abnormal RIP1 function may result in ROS accummulation affecting inflammatory responses, innate immunity, stress responses, and cell survival. RIP kinases serve as essential sensors of cellular stress. The RIP1 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 Protein Tyrosine Kinase, Insulin Receptor; PTKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to tyrosine (tyr) residues in protein substrates. InsR is a receptor PTK (RTK) that is composed of two alphabeta heterodimers. Binding of the insulin ligand 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 signaling plays an important role in many cellular processes including glucose homeostasis, glycogen synthesis, lipid and protein metabolism, ion and amino acid transport, cell cycle and proliferation, cell differentiation, gene transcription, and nitric oxide synthesis. Insulin resistance, caused by abnormalities in InsR signaling, has been described in diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, heart failure, and female infertility. The InsR 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.

Pseudokinase domain of the membrane Guanylate Cyclase receptors, GC-A and GC-B; The pseudokinase domain shows similarity to protein kinases but lacks crucial residues for catalytic activity and/or ATP binding. GC-A binds and is activated by the atrial and B-type natriuretic peptides, ANP and BNP, which are important in blood pressure regulation and cardiac pathophysiology. GC-B binds the C-type natriuretic peptide, CNP, which is a potent vasorelaxant and functions in vascular remodeling and bone growth regulation. Membrane (or particulate) GCs consist of an extracellular ligand-binding domain, a single transmembrane region, and an intracellular tail that contains a PK-like domain, an amphiphatic region and a catalytic GC domain that catalyzes the conversion of GTP into cGMP and pyrophosphate. Membrane GCs act as receptors that transduce an extracellular signal to the intracellular production of cGMP, which has been implicated in many processes including cell proliferation, phototransduction, and muscle contractility, through its downstream effectors such as PKG. The PK-like domain of GCs functions as a negative regulator of the catalytic GC domain and may also act as a docking site for interacting proteins such as GC-activating proteins. The GC-A/B subfamily is part of a larger superfamily that includes the catalytic domains of protein serine/threonine kinases, protein tyrosine kinases, RIO kinases, aminoglycoside phosphotransferase, choline kinase, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase.

Catalytic domain of the Protein Tyrosine Kinases, Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptors; PTKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to tyrosine (tyr) residues in protein substrates. The FGFR subfamily consists of FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3, FGFR4, and similar proteins. They are receptor PTKs (RTKs) containing an extracellular ligand-binding region with three immunoglobulin-like domains, a transmembrane segment, and an intracellular catalytic domain. The binding of FGFRs to their ligands, the FGFs, and to heparin/heparan sulfate (HS) results in the formation of a ternary complex, which leads to receptor dimerization and activation, and intracellular signaling. There are at least 23 FGFs and four types of FGFRs. The binding of FGFs to FGFRs is promiscuous, in that a receptor may be activated by several ligands and a ligand may bind to more that one type of receptor. FGF/FGFR signaling is important in the regulation of embryonic development, homeostasis, and regenerative processes. Depending on the cell type and stage, FGFR signaling produces diverse cellular responses including proliferation, growth arrest, differentiation, and apoptosis. Aberrant signaling leads to many human diseases such as skeletal, olfactory, and metabolic disorders, as well as cancer. The FGFR 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 .
