General annotation (Comments)

Function

Component of a protein kinase signal transduction cascade. Regulates the JNK and ERK5 pathways by phosphorylating and activating MAP2K5 and MAP2K7. Plays a role in caveolae kiss-and-run dynamics By similarity. Ref.3

Catalytic activity

ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.

Cofactor

Magnesium.

Enzyme regulation

Activated by phosphorylation on Thr-524 By similarity. Interacts with PKN2; the interaction activates PKN2 kinase activity in a MAP3K2-independent kinase activity.

Subunit structure

Self-associates By similarity. Binds both upstream activators and downstream substrates in multimolecular complexes. Interacts (via the kinase catalytic domain) with STK38 By similarity. Ref.2 Ref.4

Subcellular location

Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Note: Upon EGF stimulation, translocates into the nucleus.

Post-translational modification

Autophosphorylated. Ref.3 Ref.5 Ref.6

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. STE Ser/Thr protein kinase family. MAP kinase kinase kinase subfamily.

Contains 1 OPR domain.

Contains 1 protein kinase domain.

Sequence caution

The sequence AAB03536.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Frameshift at positions 20 and 53.
