General annotation (Comments)

Function

Serine/threonine protein kinase that plays a role in a variety of different signaling pathways including cytoskeleton regulation, cell migration, or cell cycle regulation. Plays a role in dendrite spine morphogenesis as well as synapse formation and plasticity. Acts as downstream effector of the small GTPases CDC42 and RAC1. Activation by the binding of active CDC42 and RAC1 results in a conformational change and a subsequent autophosphorylation on several serine and/or threonine residues. Phosphorylates MAPK4 and MAPK6 and activates the downstream target MAPKAPK5, a regulator of F-actin polymerization and cell migration. Additionally, phosphorylates TNNI3/troponin I to modulate calcium sensitivity and relaxation kinetics of thin myofilaments. Ref.2

Catalytic activity

ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.

Cofactor

Magnesium.

Enzyme regulation

Activated by binding small G proteins. Binding of GTP-bound CDC42 or RAC1 to the autoregulatory region releases monomers from the autoinhibited dimer, enables phosphorylation of Thr-421 and allows the kinase domain to adopt an active structure By similarity.

Subunit structure

Interacts tightly with GTP-bound but not GDP-bound CDC42/p21 and RAC1. Shows highly specific binding to the SH3 domains of phospholipase C-gamma and of adapter protein NCK. Interacts with the C-terminal of APP. Interacts with ARHGEF6 and ARHGEF7 By similarity. Ref.2

Subcellular location

Cytoplasm By similarity.

Tissue specificity

Detected at high levels in the brain and at low levels in the testis. Ref.2

Developmental stage

Found in the embryonic CNS with little expression elsewhere.

Post-translational modification

Autophosphorylated when activated by CDC42/p21. Ref.3

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. STE Ser/Thr protein kinase family. STE20 subfamily.

Contains 1 CRIB domain.

Contains 1 protein kinase domain.
