Protein Kinases, MAP kinase kinases 3 and 6. Protein
kinases (PKs), MAP kinase kinase 3 (MKK3) and MKK6
subfamily, catalytic (c) domain. PKs catalyze the
transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to
serine/threonine or tyrosine residues on protein
substrates. The MKK3 and MKK6 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. The mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase
signaling pathways are important mediators of cellular
responses to extracellular signals. The pathways involve
a triple kinase core cascade comprising the MAP kinase
(MAPK), which is phosphorylated and activated by a MAPK
kinase (MAPKK or MKK), which itself is phosphorylated
and activated by a MAPK kinase kinase (MAPKKK or MKKK).
MKK3 and MKK6 are dual-specificity PKs that
phosphorylate and activate their downstream target, p38
MAPK, on specific threonine and tyrosine residues.
MKK3/6 plays roles in the regulation of cell cycle
progression, cytokine- and stress-induced apoptosis,
oncogenic transformation, and adult tissue regeneration.
In addition, MKK6 plays a critical role in osteoclast
survival in inflammatory disease while MKK3 is
associated with tumor invasion, progression, and poor
patient survival in glioma.

>gnl|CDD|132949 cd06618, PKc_MKK7, Catalytic domain of the dual-specificity Protein
Kinase, MAP kinase kinase 7. Protein kinases (PKs), MAP
kinase kinase 7 (MKK7) subfamily, catalytic (c) domain.
PKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group
from ATP to serine/threonine or tyrosine residues on
protein substrates. The MKK7 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. The mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase
signaling pathways are important mediators of cellular
responses to extracellular signals. The pathways involve
a triple kinase core cascade comprising the MAP kinase
(MAPK), which is phosphorylated and activated by a MAPK
kinase (MAPKK or MKK), which itself is phosphorylated
and activated by a MAPK kinase kinase (MAPKKK or MKKK).
MKK7 is a dual-specificity PK that phosphorylates and
activates its downstream target, c-Jun N-terminal kinase
(JNK), on specific threonine and tyrosine residues.
Although MKK7 is capable of dual phosphorylation, it
prefers to phosphorylate the threonine residue of JNK.
Thus, optimal activation of JNK requires both MKK4 (not
included in this subfamily) and MKK7. MKK7 is primarily
activated by cytokines. MKK7 is essential for liver
formation during embryogenesis. It plays roles in G2/M
cell cycle arrest and cell growth. In addition, it is
involved in the control of programmed cell death, which
is crucial in oncogenesis, cancer chemoresistance, and
antagonism to TNFalpha-induced killing, through its
inhibition by Gadd45beta and the subsequent suppression
of the JNK cascade.

Kinase, MAP kinase kinase 4. Protein kinases (PKs), MAP
kinase kinase 4 (MKK4) subfamily, catalytic (c) domain.
PKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group
from ATP to serine/threonine or tyrosine residues on
protein substrates. The MKK4 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. The mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase
signaling pathways are important mediators of cellular
responses to extracellular signals. The pathways involve
a triple kinase core cascade comprising of the MAP
kinase (MAPK), which is phosphorylated and activated by
a MAPK kinase (MAPKK or MKK), which itself is
phosphorylated and activated by a MAPK kinase kinase
(MAPKKK or MKKK). MKK4 is a dual-specificity PK that
phosphorylates and activates the downstream targets,
c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38 MAPK, on specific
threonine and tyrosine residues. JNK and p38 are
collectively known as stress-activated MAPKs, as they
are activated in response to a variety of environmental
stresses and pro-inflammatory cytokines. Their
activation is associated with the induction of cell
death. Mice deficient in MKK4 die during embryogenesis
and display anemia, severe liver hemorrhage, and
abnormal hepatogenesis. MKK4 may also play roles in the
immune system and in cardiac hypertrophy. It plays a
major role in cancer as a tumor and metastasis
suppressor. Under certain conditions, MKK4 is
pro-oncogenic.

and activated by a MAPK kinase kinase (MAPKKK or MKKK or
MAP3K). MAPKKs are dual-specificity PKs that
phosphorylate their downstream targets, MAPKs, at
specific threonine and tyrosine residues. There are
three MAPK subfamilies: extracellular signal-regulated
kinase (ERK), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), and p38. In
mammalian cells, there are seven MAPKKs (named MKK1-7)
and 20 MAPKKKs. Each MAPK subfamily can be activated by
at least two cognate MAPKKs and by multiple MAPKKKs.

>gnl|CDD|132954 cd06623, PKc_MAPKK_plant_like, Catalytic domain of Plant
dual-specificity MAP kinase kinases and similar
proteins. Protein kinases (PKs), MAP kinase kinase
(MAPKK) subfamily, Plant MAPKKs and similar proteins,
catalytic (c) domain. PKs catalyze the transfer of the
gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine or
tyrosine residues on protein substrates. The MAPKK
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. The mitogen-activated protein

pathways involve a triple kinase core cascade comprising
of the MAP kinase (MAPK), which is phosphorylated and
activated by a MAPK kinase (MAPKK or MKK), which itself
is phosphorylated and activated by a MAPK kinase kinase
(MAPKKK or MKKK). Members of this group include MAPKKs
from plants, kinetoplastids, alveolates, and mycetozoa.
The MAPKK, LmxPK4, from Leishmania mexicana, is
important in differentiation and virulence.
Dictyostelium discoideum MEK1 is required for proper
chemotaxis. MEK1 null mutants display severe defects in
cell polarization and directional movement. Plants
contain multiple MAPKKs like other eukaryotes. The
Arabidopsis genome encodes for 10 MAPKKs while poplar
and rice contain 13 MAPKKs each. The functions of these
proteins have not been fully elucidated. There is
evidence to suggest that MAPK cascades are involved in
plant stress responses. In Arabidopsis, MKK3 plays a
role in pathogen signaling, MKK2 is involved in cold and
salt stress signaling, MKK4/MKK5 participates in innate
immunity, and MKK7 regulates basal and systemic acquired
resistance.

kinase (MEK) subfamily, catalytic (c) domain. PKs
catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from
ATP to serine/threonine or tyrosine residues on protein
substrates. The MEK subfamily is part of a larger

which is phosphorylated and activated by a MAPK kinase
(MAPKK or MKK), which itself is phosphorylated and

and MEK2 are dual-specificity PKs that phosphorylate and
activate the downstream targets, ERK(extracellular
signal-regulated kinase) 1 and ERK2, on specific
threonine and tyrosine residues. The ERK cascade starts
with extracellular signals including growth factors,
hormones, and neurotransmitters, which act through
receptors and ion channels to initiate intracellular
signaling that leads to the activation at the MAPKKK
(Raf-1 or MOS) level, which leads to the transmission of
signals to MEK1/2, and finally to ERK1/2. The ERK
cascade plays an important role in cell proliferation,
differentiation, oncogenic transformation, and cell
cycle control, as well as in apoptosis and cell survival
under certain conditions. This cascade has also been
implicated in synaptic plasticity, migration,
morphological determination, and stress response
immunological reactions. Gain-of-function mutations in
genes encoding ERK cascade proteins, including MEK1/2,
cause cardiofaciocutaneous (CFC) syndrome, a condition
leading to multiple congenital anomalies and mental
retardation in patients.

stress-activated MAPK cascades in budding and fission
yeast, respectively. PBS2 is the specific activator of
the MAPK Hog1, which plays a central role in the
response of budding yeast to stress including exposure
to arsenite and hyperosmotic environments. Wis1
phosphorylates and activates the MAPK Sty1 (also called
Spc1 or Phh1), which stimulates a transcriptional
response to a wide range of cellular insults through the
bZip transcription factors Atf1, Pcr1, and Pap1.

phosphotransferase, choline kinase, and phosphoinositide
3-kinase. This subfamily includes MAP4K3, MAP4K1,
MAP4K2, MAP4K5, and related proteins. Vertebrate members
contain an N-terminal catalytic domain and a C-terminal
citron homology (CNH) regulatory domain, similar to
MAP4K4/6. MAP4Ks are involved in some MAPK signaling
pathways that are important in mediating cellular
responses to extracellular signals by activating a MAPK
kinase kinase (MAPKKK or MAP3K or MKKK). 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 MAP3K to start the triple
kinase core cascade or indirectly through a mediator
kinase, a MAP4K. MAP4K1, also called haematopoietic
progenitor kinase 1 (HPK1), is a hematopoietic-specific
STK involved in many cellular signaling cascades
including MAPK, antigen receptor, apoptosis, growth
factor, and cytokine signaling. It participates in the
regulation of T cell receptor signaling and T
cell-mediated immune responses. MAP4K2 was referred to
as germinal center (GC) kinase because of its preferred
location in GC B cells. MAP4K3 plays a role in the
nutrient-responsive pathway of mTOR (mammalian target of
rapamycin) signaling. It is required in the activation
of S6 kinase by amino acids and for the phosphorylation
of the mTOR-regulated inhibitor of eukaryotic initiation
factor 4E. MAP4K5, also called germinal center
kinase-related enzyme (GCKR), has been shown to activate
the MAPK c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK).

Protein Kinases (PKs), STE family, catalytic (c) domain.
PKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group
from ATP to serine/threonine or tyrosine residues on
protein substrates. The STE family is part of a larger
superfamily that includes the catalytic domains of other
protein serine/threonine kinases (STKs), protein
tyrosine kinases (PTKs), RIO kinases, aminoglycoside
phosphotransferase, choline kinase, and phosphoinositide
3-kinase (PI3K). This family is composed of STKs, and
some dual-specificity PKs that phosphorylate both
threonine and tyrosine residues of target proteins. Most
members are kinases involved in mitogen-activated
protein kinase (MAPK) signaling cascades, acting as MAPK
kinases (MAPKKs), MAPK kinase kinases (MAPKKKs), or MAPK
kinase kinase 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.
Class III myosins are motor proteins containing an
N-terminal kinase catalytic domain and a C-terminal
actin-binding domain, which can phosphorylate several
cytoskeletal proteins, conventional myosin regulatory
light chains, as well as autophosphorylate the
C-terminal motor domain. They play an important role in
maintaining the structural integrity of photoreceptor
cell microvilli.

cell-cycle progression, transcription, and neuronal
function. This subfamily is composed of CDK1 from higher
eukaryotes. 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. CDK1/cyclin A2
has also been implicated as an important regulator of S
phase events. The CDK1/cyclin B complex is critical for
G2 to M phase transition. It induces mitosis by
activating nuclear enzymes that regulate chromatin
condensation, nuclear membrane degradation,
mitosis-specific microtubule and cytoskeletal
reorganization. CDK1 also associates with cyclin E and
plays a role in the entry into S phase. CDK1
transcription is stable throughout the cell cycle but is
modulated in some pathological conditions. It may play a
role in regulating apoptosis under these conditions. In
breast cancer cells, HER2 can mediate apoptosis by
inactivating CDK1. Activation of CDK1 may contribute to
HIV-1 induced apoptosis and neuronal apoptosis in
neurodegenerative diseases.

transcription, and neuronal function. CDK4 and CDK6
partner with D-type cyclins to regulate the early G1

activated by mitogenic signals to release cells from the
G0 arrested state. CDK4 and CDK6 are both expressed
ubiquitously, associate with all three D cyclins (D1, D2

to show some redundancy, they also have discrete,
nonoverlapping functions. CDK6 plays an important role
in cell differentiation.

Serine/Threonine Kinases (STKs), Male germ
cell-Associated Kinase (MAK)-like subfamily, catalytic
(c) domain. STKs catalyze the transfer of the
gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine
residues on protein substrates. The MAK-like subfamily
is part of a larger superfamily that includes the
catalytic domains of other protein STKs, protein
tyrosine kinases, RIO kinases, aminoglycoside
phosphotransferase, choline kinase, and phosphoinositide
3-kinase. This subfamily is composed of human MAK and
MAK-related kinase (MRK), Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Ime2p, Schizosaccharomyces pombe Mei4-dependent protein
3 (Mde3) and Pit1, Caenorhabditis elegans dyf-5,
Arabidopsis thaliana MHK, and similar proteins. These
proteins play important roles during meiosis. MAK is
highly expressed in testicular cells specifically in the
meiotic phase, but is not essential for spermatogenesis
and fertility. It functions as a coactivator of the
androgen receptor in prostate cells. MRK, also called
Intestinal Cell Kinase (ICK), is expressed ubiquitously,
with highest expression in the ovary and uterus. A
missense mutation in MRK causes
endocrine-cerebro-osteodysplasia (ECO), suggesting that
this protein plays an important role in the development
of many organs. MAK and MRK may be involved in
regulating cell cycle and cell fate. Ime2p is a
meiosis-specific kinase that is important during meiotic
initiation and during the later stages of meiosis. Mde3
functions downstream of the transcription factor Mei-4
which is essential for meiotic prophase I.

MAP/ERK Kinase (MEK) 2 subfamily, catalytic (c) domain.
PKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group
from ATP to serine/threonine or tyrosine residues on
protein substrates. The MEK 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. The mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase
signaling pathways are important mediators of cellular
responses to extracellular signals. The pathways involve
a triple kinase core cascade comprising the MAP kinase
(MAPK), which is phosphorylated and activated by a MAPK
kinase (MAPKK or MKK), which itself is phosphorylated
and activated by a MAPK kinase kinase (MAPKKK or MKKK).
MEK2 is a dual-specificity PK that phosphorylates and
activates the downstream targets, extracellular
signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1 and ERK2, on specific
threonine and tyrosine residues. The ERK cascade starts
with extracellular signals including growth factors,
hormones, and neurotransmitters, which act through
receptors and ion channels to initiate intracellular
signaling that leads to the activation at the MAPKKK
(Raf-1 or MOS) level, which leads to the transmission of
signals to MEK2, and finally to ERK1/2. The ERK cascade
plays an important role in cell proliferation,
differentiation, oncogenic transformation, and cell
cycle control, as well as in apoptosis and cell survival
under certain conditions. Gain-of-function mutations in
genes encoding ERK cascade proteins, including MEK2,
cause cardiofaciocutaneous (CFC) syndrome, a condition
leading to multiple congenital anomalies and mental
retardation in patients.

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. AGC kinases regulate many cellular
processes including division, growth, survival,
metabolism, motility, and differentiation. Many are
implicated in the development of various human diseases.

eukaryotes, plants, and yeasts, as well as 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.

myosins are present in the photoreceptors of
invertebrates and vertebrates and in the auditory hair
cells of mammals. The kinase domain of myosin III can
phosphorylate several cytoskeletal proteins,
conventional myosin regulatory light chains, and can
autophosphorylate the C-terminal motor domain. Myosin
III may play an important role in maintaining the
structural integrity of photoreceptor cell microvilli.
It may also function as a cargo carrier during
light-dependent translocation, in photoreceptor cells,
of proteins such as transducin and arrestin. The
Drosophila class III myosin, called NinaC (Neither
inactivation nor afterpotential protein C), is critical
in normal adaptation and termination of photoresponse.
Vertebrates contain two isoforms of class III myosin,
IIIA and IIIB. This subfamily also includes mammalian
NIK-like embryo-specific kinase (NESK), Traf2- and
Nck-interacting kinase (TNIK), mitogen-activated protein
kinase (MAPK) kinase kinase kinase 4 (MAPKKKK4 or
MAP4K4) and MAPKKKK6 (or MAP4K6). MAP4Ks are involved in
some MAPK signaling pathways by activating a MAPK kinase
kinase (MAPKKK or MAP3K or MKKK). 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 MAP3K to start the triple kinase core
cascade or indirectly through a mediator kinase, a
MAP4K. MAPK signaling cascades are important in
mediating cellular responses to extracellular signals.

(NIK). It facilitates the activation of the MAPKs,
extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1, ERK2, and
c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), by phosphorylating and
activating MEKK1. MAP4K4 plays a role in tumor necrosis
factor (TNF) alpha-induced insulin resistance. MAP4K4
silencing in skeletal muscle cells from type II diabetic
patients restores insulin-mediated glucose uptake.
MAP4K4, through JNK, also plays a broad role in cell
motility, which impacts inflammation, homeostasis, as
well as the invasion and spread of cancer. MAP4K4 is
found to be highly expressed in most tumor cell lines
relative to normal tissue. MAP4K6 (also called MINK for

differentiation, oncogenic transformation, and cell

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

both cyclin B, which controls G2/M transition, and
cyclin D, which acts as a mediator in linking
extracellular signals to the cell cycle.

signaling pathways that are important in mediating
cellular responses to extracellular signals by
activating a MAPK kinase kinase (MAPKKK or MAP3K or
MKKK). 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 MAP3K to start
the triple kinase core cascade or indirectly through a
mediator kinase, a MAP4K. MAP4K3 plays a role in the
nutrient-responsive pathway of mTOR (mammalian target of
rapamycin) signaling. MAP4K3 is required in the
activation of S6 kinase by amino acids and for the
phosphorylation of the mTOR-regulated inhibitor of
eukaryotic initiation factor 4E. mTOR regulates ribosome
biogenesis and protein translation, and is frequently
deregulated in cancer.

Jak subfamily proteins are cytoplasmic (or nonreceptor)
tyr kinases 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. 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.

(PTKs), and dual-specificity PKs that phosphorylate both
serine/threonine and tyrosine residues of target
proteins. Majority of protein phosphorylation, about
95%, 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 550 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.

STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group
from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein
substrates. The cGK 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. Mammals have two cGK isoforms
from different genes, cGKI and cGKII. cGKI exists as two
splice variants, cGKI-alpha and cGKI-beta. cGK consists
of an N-terminal regulatory domain containing a
dimerization and an autoinhibitory pseudosubstrate
region, two cGMP-binding domains, and a C-terminal
catalytic domain. Binding of cGMP to both binding sites
releases the inhibition of the catalytic center by the
pseudosubstrate region, allowing autophosphorylation and
activation of the kinase. cGKI is a soluble protein
expressed in all smooth muscles, platelets, cerebellum,
and kidney. It is also expressed at lower concentrations
in other tissues. cGKII is a membrane-bound protein that
is most abundantly expressed in the intestine. It is
also present in the brain nuclei, adrenal cortex,
kidney, lung, and prostate. cGKI is involved in the
regulation of smooth muscle tone, smooth cell
proliferation, and platelet activation. cGKII plays a
role in the regulation of secretion, such as renin
secretion by the kidney and aldosterone secretion by the
adrenal. It also regulates bone growth and the circadian
rhythm.

response to cell wall stress including heat stimulation,
osmotic shock, UV irradiation, and any agents that
interfere with cell wall biogenesis such as chitin
antagonists, caffeine, or zymolase. MPK1 is regulated by
the MAP2Ks Mkk1/2, which are regulated by the MAP3K
Bck1. Pmk1 is also activated by multiple stresses
including elevated temperatures, hyper- or hypotonic
stress, glucose deprivation, exposure to cell-wall
damaging compounds, and oxidative stress. It is
regulated by the MAP2K Pek1, which is regulated by the
MAP3K Mkh1.

many cellular processes including growth factor
receptor-mediated proliferation, cell polarity, cell
motility, cell death and survival, and actin
cytoskeleton organization. PAK deregulation is
associated with tumor development. PAKs from higher
eukaryotes are classified into two groups (I and II),
according to their biochemical and structural features.
Group I PAKs contain a PBD (p21-binding domain)
overlapping with an AID (autoinhibitory domain), a
C-terminal catalytic domain, SH3 binding sites and a
non-classical SH3 binding site for PIX (PAK-interacting
exchange factor). Group II PAKs contain a PBD and a
catalytic domain, but lack other motifs found in group I
PAKs. Since group II PAKs do not contain an obvious AID,
they may be regulated differently from group I PAKs.
Group I PAKs interact with the SH3 containing proteins
Nck, Grb2 and PIX; no such binding has been demonstrated
for group II PAKs.

CDC2L1 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. 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. CDC2L1, also
called PITSLRE, exists in different isoforms which are
named using the alias CDK11(p). The CDC2L1 gene produces
two protein products, CDK11(p110) and CDK11(p58). CDC2L1
is also represented by the caspase-processed CDK11(p46).
CDK11(p110), the major isoform, associates with cyclin L
and is expressed throughout the cell cycle. It is
involved in RNA processing and the regulation of
transcription. CDK11(p58) associates with cyclin D3 and
is expressed during the G2/M phase of the cell cycle. It
plays roles in spindle morphogenesis, centrosome
maturation, sister chromatid cohesion, and the
completion of mitosis. CDK11(p46) is formed from the
larger isoforms by caspases during TNFalpha- and
Fas-induced apoptosis. It functions as a downstream
effector kinase in apoptotic signaling pathways and
interacts with eukaryotic initiation factor 3f (eIF3f),
p21-activated kinase (PAK1), and Ran-binding protein
(RanBPM).

RIO kinases, aminoglycoside phosphotransferase, choline

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. There are
seven types of GRKs, named GRK1 to GRK7. The beta-ARK
group is composed of GRK2, GRK3, and similar proteins.
GRK2 and GRK3 are both widely expressed in many tissues,
although GRK2 is present at higher levels. They contain
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. GRK2
(also called 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.

Protein Tyrosine Kinases, Janus kinases 2 and 3.
Protein Tyrosine Kinase (PTK) family; Janus kinase 2
(Jak2) and Jak3; catalytic (c) domain (repeat 2). 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. Jak2 and
Jak3 are members of the Janus kinase (Jak) subfamily of
proteins, which are cytoplasmic (or nonreceptor) tyr
kinases 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. 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). Jak2 is widely expressed in many tissues while
Jak3 is expressed only in hematopoietic cells. Jak2 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. Jak3 binds
the shared receptor subunit common gamma chain and thus,
is essential in the signaling of cytokines that use it
such as IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, IL-15, and IL-21.
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. Jak3 is important in
lymphoid development and myeloid cell differentiation.
Inactivating mutations in Jak3 have been reported in
humans with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID).
