General annotation (Comments)

Function

Acts as a sensor that couples lifespan to information about energy levels and insulin-like signals. Role in motility and response to oxidative stress. Causes germ cell cycle arrest upon dauer entry. Ref.1 Ref.6

Catalytic activity

ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.

Enzyme regulation

Activated by phosphorylation. Ref.1

Subunit structure

Tetramer, composed of 2 regulatory (R) and 2 catalytic (C) subunits. In the presence of cAMP it dissociates into 2 active monomeric C subunits and an R dimer that binds four cAMP molecules.

Tissue specificity

Expressed in the pharynx, the ventral cord, neurons including the hermaphrodite-specific neuron, body wall muscles, the vulva, the excretory canal, and weakly in the intestine. Ref.6

Post-translational modification

Phosphorylated on Thr-243 in response to oxidative stress. Ref.1

Disruption phenotype

Shortened life-span. Temperature-dependent hypersensitivity to stress, slow body bending, abnormal modulation of head oscillation. Ref.1 Ref.6

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. CAMK Ser/Thr protein kinase family. SNF1 subfamily.

Contains 1 protein kinase domain.

Alternative products

This entry describes 3 isoforms produced by alternative splicing. [Align] [Select]
Isoform b Ref.4 (identifier: Q95ZQ4-1)

This isoform has been chosen as the 'canonical' sequence. All positional information in this entry refers to it. This is also the sequence that appears in the downloadable versions of the entry.
Note: No experimental confirmation available.
Isoform a Ref.1 (identifier: Q95ZQ4-2)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     370-371: Missing.
Isoform c Ref.4 (identifier: Q95ZQ4-3)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     1-62: Missing.
     370-371: Missing.
Note: No experimental confirmation available.
