Home > Protein kinase

Protein kinases can be regulated by:

• Activator proteins
• Inhibitor proteins
  • Pseudosubstrates
  • Autoinhibition (a part of the protein kinase mimics a pseudosubstrate)
• Ligand binding to regulatory subunits
• Cofactors / second messenger
• Phosphorylation in the active center (intrasterical regulation) by:
  • other protein kinases (trans-phosphorylation)
  • itself (cis-phosphorylation/autophosphorylation)
• Location within the cell

1 Serine/threonine-specific protein kinases

Serine/threonine protein kinases (EC 2.7.1.37) phosphorylate the OH group of serine or threonine (which have similar sidechains). These protein kinases can be regulated by:

• cAMP/ cGMP
• Diacylglycerol
• Ca²⁺Calcium plays a vital role in the biochemistry of the cell, particularly in signal transduction pathways. The skeleton acts as a major storage site for the element and releases Ca2+ into the bloodstream under controlled conditions. Circulating calcium is/ calmodulinCalmodulin (CaM) is a Ca2+-binding protein that is a key component of the Ca2+ second-messenger system and is involved in controlling many of the biochemical processes of cells. Calmodulin is a small, acidic protein approximately 148 amino acids long and,

These kinases are not specific to a similar consensus sequence (a consensus sequence is a group of flanking amino acids that determines whether the protein kinase can act on it). Since the substrate to be phosphorylated aligns with the kinase by several key amino acids (usually through hydrophopicHydrophobe ( Greek, " water- fearing) is a property of a molecule and means it is repelled by water. Hydrophobic molecules tend to cluster together. HO molecules can build hydrogen bonds to stabilize each other, which explains the unusual chemical propert forces and ionic bondAn ionic bond can be formed after two or more atoms give up (or gain) electrons, so as to become ions. This type of bonding occurs between metals and non-metals. The atom that loses electron(s) is usually a metal whilst the atom that gains is usually a nos), a kinase is usually specific, not to a single substrate, but to a whole "substrate family" having common properties. Most kinases are inhibited by a pseudosubstrate that binds to the kinase like a real substrate but lacks the amino acid to be phosphorylated. When the pseudosubstrate is removed, the kinase can perform its normal function.

The catalytic domain of these kinases is highly conserved .

Many serine/threonine protein kinases do not have their own individual EC numberEC numbers Enzyme Commission numbers are a numerical classification scheme for enzymes, based on the chemical reactions they catalyze. As a system of enzyme nomenclature every EC number is associated with a recommended name for the respective enzyme.s and use "2.7.1.37", which is a general EC number for any enzyme that phosphorylates proteins while converting ATP to ADP (i.e. ATP:protein phosphotransferases.) This category is currently being reviewed by the Nomenclature Committee of IUBMB (NC-IUBMB), and it is believed that the various serine/threonine-kinases will get their own EC numbers eventually.

1.1 Phosphorylase kinase

Phosphorylase kinase (EC 2.7.1.38) was the first Ser/Thr protein kinase to be discovered (in 1959Events January-February January 1 Cultivars of plants named after this date must be named in a modern language, not in Latin.
