Serine/threonine kinase 33 (STK33/Stk33) is a recently discovered gene whose inferred amino acid sequence translation displays characters typical for a calcium/calmodulin dependent kinase (CAMK). In this study we analysed the STK33/Stk33 RNA and protein distribution and the localization of the protein. The STK33/Stk33 expression pattern resembles those of some related members of the CAMK group. STK33/Stk33 displays a nonubiquitous and, in most tissues, low level of expression. It is highly expressed in testis, particularly in cells from the spermatogenic epithelia. Moreover, significant expression is detected in lung epithelia, alveolar macrophages, horizontal cells in the retina and in embryonic organs such as heart, brain and spinal cord. A possible role of STK33/Stk33 in spermatogenesis and organ ontogenesis is discussed. 相似文献

Tyrosine phosphorylation in plants could be performed only by dual-specificity kinases. Arabidopsis thaliana dual-specificity protein kinase (AtSTYPK) exhibited strong preference for manganese over magnesium for its kinase activity. The kinase autophosphorylated on serine, threonine and tyrosine residues and phosphorylated myelin basic protein on threonine and tyrosine residues. The AtSTYPK harbors manganese dependent serine/threonine kinase domain, COG3642. His248 and Ser265 on COG3642 are conserved in AtSTYPK and the site-directed mutant, H248A showed loss of serine/threonine kinase activity. The protein kinase activity was abolished when Thr208 in the TEY motif and Thr293 of the activation loop were converted to alanine. The conversion of Thr284 in the activation loop to alanine resulted in an increased phosphorylation. This study reports the first identification of a manganese dependent dual-specificity kinase and the importance of Thr208, Thr284, and Thr293 residues in the regulation of kinase activity. 相似文献

Protein kinases play key roles in cellular functions. They are involved in many cellular functions including; signal transduction, cell cycle regulation, cell division, and cell differentiation. Alterations of protein kinase by gene amplification, mutation or viral factors often induce tumor formation and tumor progression toward malignancy. The identification and cloning of kinase genes can provide a better understanding of the mechanisms of tumorigenesis as well as diagnostic tools for tumor staging. In this study, we have used degenerated polymerase-chain-reaction primers according to the consensus catalytic domain motifs to amplify protein kinase genes (protein-tyrosine kinase, PTK, and protein-serine/threonine kinase, PSK) from human stomach cancer cells. Following amplification, the protein kinase molecules expressed in the gastric cancer cells were cloned into plasmid vectors for cloning and sequencing. Sequence analysis of polymerase-chain-reaction products resulted in the identification of 25 protein kinases, including two novel ones. Expression of several relevant PTK/PSK genes in gastric cancer cells and tissues was further substantiated by RT-PCR using gene-specific primers. The identification of protein kinases expressed or activated in the gastric cancer cells provide the framework to understand the oncogenic process of stomach cancer. 相似文献

Human protein kinases make up a large superfamily of homologous proteins, which are related by virtue of their kinase domains
(also known as catalytic domains). Here, we report the cloning and characterization of a novel human MAST4 (microtubule associated serine/threonine kinase family member 4) gene, which locates on human chromosome 5q13. The MAST4 cDNA is 7587 base pairs in length and encodes a putative protein of 2435 amino acids which contains a serine/threonine kinase
domain and a PDZ domain. MAST4 protein has 64, 63, 59, and 39% identical amino acid residues with MAST1, MAST2, MAST3, and MASTL, respectively. RT-PCR analysis revealed a relatively high expression level of MAST4 in most normal human tissues, with the exception of in testis, small intestine, colon, and peripheral blood leukocyte.

In Streptomyces fradiae, calcium ions induce alterations in intensity and specificity of the secondary metabolism and stimulate aerial mycelium formation and sporulation. Using in vitro labeling, we demonstrate that in S. fradiae in the late exponential growth phosphorylation of 65-kDa membrane-associated protein is also influenced by Ca(2+) added exogenously. Calcium ions at physiological concentration stimulate intensive Ca(2+)-dependent phosphorylation of 65-kDa protein at multiple sites on serine, threonine, and tyrosine residues. Assay of protein kinases in situ demonstrated in the fraction of membrane-associated proteins the presence of two autophosphorylating protein serine/threonine kinases with molecular masses of 127 kDa and 65 kDa. Autophosphorylation of both proteins is also Ca(2+)-dependent. 相似文献

We have isolated a novel serine/threonine kinase gene designated Gek1 from mouse primordial germ cell-derived embryonic germ cell. Gek1 is preferentially expressed in meiotic testicular germ cells and primordial germ cells. Gek1 mRNA is also detected in several other tissues, including hematopoietic organs in adult mice and central nervous system in embryos. The Gek1 cDNA encodes a protein with the consensus sequence of the catalytic domain of protein kinases in its N-terminal region. The deduced amino acid sequence of Gek1 in the kinase domain is related to those encoded by the Saccharomyces cerevisiae STE20, CDC15, and Drosophila melanogaster ninaC. The patterns of expression and the structural features of Gek1 suggest that the gene product is involved in signal transduction or nuclear division of germ cells and other proliferating cells. We also show that Gek1 locates on chromosome 11, near the wr locus, showing neuronal and reproductive defects. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

MICrocephaly, disproportionate pontine and cerebellar hypoplasia (MICPCH) syndrome, a rare X-linked disorder, generally seen in girls, is characterized by neurodevelopmental delay, microcephaly, and disproportionate pontine and cerebellar hypoplasia. It is caused by inactivating calcium/calmodulin-dependent serine protein kinase (CASK) gene mutations. We report a 2-year-old girl with severe neurodevelopmental delay, microcephaly, minimal pontine hypoplasia, cerebellar hypoplasia, and normal looking corpus callosum, with whom the conventional cytogenetic studies turned out to be normal, and an array-comparative genomic hybridization (a-CGH) analysis showed CASK gene duplication at Xp11.4. Our case highlights the importance of using clinico-radiologic phenotype to guide genetic investigation and it also confirms the role of a-CGH analysis in establishing the genetic diagnosis of MICPCH syndrome, when conventional cytogenetic studies are inconclusive. 相似文献

Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IV (CAMKIV) is associated with many diseases including cancer and neurodegenerative disorders and thus being considered as a potential drug target. Here, we have employed the knowledge of three-dimensional structure of CAMKIV to identify new inhibitors for possible therapeutic intervention. We have employed virtual high throughput screening of 12,500 natural compounds of Zinc database to screen the best possible inhibitors of CAMKIV. Subsequently, 40 compounds which showed significant docking scores (?11.6 to ?10.0?kcal/mol) were selected and further filtered through Lipinski rule and drug likeness parameter to get best inhibitors of CAMKIV. Docking results are indicating that ligands are binding to the hydrophobic cavity of the kinase domain of CAMKIV and forming a significant number of non-covalent interactions. Four compounds, ZINC02098378, ZINC12866674, ZINC04293413, and ZINC13403020, showing excellent binding affinity and drug likeness were subjected to molecular dynamics simulation to evaluate their mechanism of interaction and stability of protein-ligand complex. Our observations clearly suggesting that these selected ligands may be further employed for therapeutic intervention to address CAMKIV associated diseases.

We aimed to investigate the internal existence status of testis-specific serine/threonine kinase 4 (Tssk4) and the interaction of Tssk4 and Cre-responsive element modulator (Crem). The internal existence status of Tssk4 in testis of mice was detected using western blotting and dephosphorylation method. The interaction of Tssk4 and Crem was analyzed by western blotting, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, in vitro co-immunoprecipitation assays, and in vitro kinase assay. The results revealed that Tssk4 existed in testis both in phosphorylation and unphosphorylation status by a temporal manner with the development of testis. Immunofluorescence results showed that Tssk4 had identical distribution pattern with Crem in testis, which was utterly different to the localization of Cre-responsive element binding (Creb). In conclusion, our study demonstrated that phosphorylated Tssk4 might participate in testis genes expressions by phosphorylating Crem at Ser-117. 相似文献

Abstract: In the present investigation, in vitro phosphorylation of CNS proteins of the silkworm Bombyx mori during the postembryonic development have been studied. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and autoradiography of phosphorylated proteins revealed the presence of major phosphoproteins of 59/60 kDa. Based on molecular mass, calcium/calmodulin-dependent autophosphorylation, substrate specificity, KN-62 inhibition, apparent K m for ATP and syntide-2, these proteins were identified as calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaM kinase II). Anti-rat CaM kinase II monoclonal antibody showed immunoreactivity with Bombyx CaM kinase II isoforms. This kinase showed a high degree of autophosphorylation in neural tissue. During postembryonic development of Bombyx , two distinct peaks of enzyme activity could be noticed, one at the late-larval and another at the late-pupal stage, which were associated with an increase in amount of the enzyme. These results suggested that the expression of CaM kinase II in the CNS of Bombyx was developmentally regulated. 相似文献

Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are a family of proteins that constitute signaling pathways involved in processes that control gene expression, cell division, cell survival, apoptosis, metabolism, differentiation and motility. The MAPK pathways can be divided into conventional and atypical MAPK pathways. The first group converts a signal into a cellular response through a relay of three consecutive phosphorylation events exerted by MAPK kinase kinases, MAPK kinase, and MAPK. Atypical MAPK pathways are not organized into this three-tiered cascade. MAPK that belongs to both conventional and atypical MAPK pathways can phosphorylate both non-protein kinase substrates and other protein kinases. The latter are referred to as MAPK-activated protein kinases. This review focuses on one such MAPK-activated protein kinase, MAPK-activated protein kinase 5 (MK5) or p38-regulated/activated protein kinase (PRAK). This protein is highly conserved throughout the animal kingdom and seems to be the target of both conventional and atypical MAPK pathways. Recent findings on the regulation of the activity and subcellular localization, bona fide interaction partners and physiological roles of MK5/PRAK are discussed. 相似文献

The physiologic roles and the substrates of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) serine/threonine kinases are largely unknown. Here, we report six novel interactions of PknB, PknD, PknE, and PknF with the Forkhead-Associated (FHA) domains of Rv0020c and the putative ABC transporter Rv1747. Purified PknB and PknF kinase domains phosphorylated multiple FHA-domain proteins in vitro. Although they remain to be verified in vivo, these reactions suggest a web of interactions between STPKs and FHA domains. 相似文献

We previously identified a 70-kDa serine/threonine protein kinase (MbK or PknD) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis Erdman containing a transmembrane domain and bearing a 270-amino acid N-terminal kinase domain. With the use of a polyclonal serum, Mbk has now been identified by Western blotting in protein extracts from M. tuberculosis and confirmed to be localised in the envelope. An identical mbk gene has been found by sequencing different M. tuberculosis and M. africanum strains. Surprisingly, in two virulent M. bovis strains and four different strains of M. bovis BCG, an additional adenine after position 829 of the open reading frame was found that produces a frame shift resulting in a predicted truncated, presumably free cytoplasmic protein, encoding only the N-terminal 30-kDa Mbk kinase domain. This sequence polymorphism has been confirmed by Western blot analysis of M. bovis BCG protein extracts. 相似文献
