It may be involved in the control of cell differentiation by negatively regulating cell cycle progression in certain conditions. It may also play a role in glucose-induced insulin secretion. MAPK6 and MAPK4 cooperate to regulate the activity of MAPK-activated protein kinase 5 (MK5), leading to its relocation to the cytoplasm and exclusion from the nucleus.

Catalytic domain of Extracellular signal-Regulated Kinase 1 and 2-like Serine/Threonine Kinases; STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. This subfamily is composed of the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) ERK1, ERK2, baker's yeast Fus3, and similar proteins. MAPK pathways are important mediators of cellular responses to extracellular signals. ERK1/2 activation is preferentially by mitogenic factors, differentiation stimuli, and cytokines, through a kinase cascade involving the MAPK kinases MEK1/2 and a MAPK kinase kinase from the Raf family. ERK1/2 have numerous substrates, many of which are nuclear and participate in transcriptional regulation of many cellular processes. They regulate cell growth, cell proliferation, and cell cycle progression from G1 to S phase. Although the distinct roles of ERK1 and ERK2 have not been fully determined, it is known that ERK2 can maintain most functions in the absence of ERK1, and that the deletion of ERK2 is embryonically lethal. The MAPK, Fus3, regulates yeast mating processes including mating-specific gene expression, G1 arrest, mating projection, and cell fusion. This ERK1/2-like subfamily is part of a larger superfamily that includes the catalytic domains of other STKs, protein tyrosine kinases, RIO kinases, aminoglycoside phosphotransferase, choline kinase, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase.

Catalytic domain of the Serine/Threonine Kinase, Cyclin-Dependent protein Kinase 7; STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. CDK7 plays essential roles in the cell cycle and in transcription. It associates with cyclin H and MAT1 and acts as a CDK-Activating Kinase (CAK) by phosphorylating and activating cell cycle CDKs (CDK1/2/4/6). In the brain, it activates CDK5. CDK7 is also a component of the general transcription factor TFIIH, which phosphorylates the C-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase II when it is bound with unphosphorylated DNA, as present in the pre-initiation complex. Following phosphorylation, the CTD dissociates from the DNA which allows transcription initiation. 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. The CDK7 subfamily is part of a larger superfamily that includes the catalytic domains of other STKs, protein tyrosine kinases, RIO kinases, aminoglycoside phosphotransferase, choline kinase, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase.

The catalytic domain of the Serine/Threonine Kinase, Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3; STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. GSK3 is a mutifunctional kinase involved in many cellular processes including cell division, proliferation, differentiation, adhesion, and apoptosis. In plants, GSK3 plays a role in the response to osmotic stress. In Caenorhabditis elegans, it plays a role in regulating normal oocyte-to-embryo transition and response to oxidative stress. In Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, GSK3 regulates flagellar length and assembly. In mammals, there are two isoforms, GSK3alpha and GSK3beta, which show both distinct and redundant functions. The two isoforms differ mainly in their N-termini. They are both involved in axon formation and in Wnt signaling.They play distinct roles in cardiogenesis, with GSKalpha being essential in cardiomyocyte survival, and GSKbeta regulating heart positioning and left-right symmetry. GSK3beta was first identified as a regulator of glycogen synthesis, but has since been determined to play other roles. It regulates the degradation of beta-catenin and IkB. Beta-catenin is the main effector of Wnt, which is involved in normal haematopoiesis and stem cell function. IkB is a central inhibitor of NF-kB, which is critical in maintaining leukemic cell growth. GSK3beta is enriched in the brain and is involved in regulating neuronal signaling pathways. It is implicated in the pathogenesis of many diseases including Type II diabetes, obesity, mood disorders, Alzheimer's disease, osteoporosis, and some types of cancer, among others. The GSK3 subfamily is part of a larger superfamily that includes the catalytic domains of other STKs, protein tyrosine kinases, RIO kinases, aminoglycoside phosphotransferase, choline kinase, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase.

Catalytic domain of the protein kinase, Dual-specificity tYrosine-phosphorylated and -Regulated Kinase; Protein Kinases (PKs), Dual-specificity tYrosine-phosphorylated and -Regulated Kinase (DYRK) subfamily, catalytic (c) domain. Dual-specificity PKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine (S/T) as well as tyrosine residues on protein substrates. The DYRK subfamily is part of a larger superfamily that includes the catalytic domains of other protein S/T PKs, protein tyrosine kinases, RIO kinases, aminoglycoside phosphotransferase, choline kinase, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K). DYRKs autophosphorylate themselves on tyrosine residues and phosphorylate their substrates exclusively on S/T residues. They play important roles in cell proliferation, differentiation, survival, and development. Vertebrates contain multiple DYRKs (DYRK1-4) and mammals contain two types of DYRK1 proteins, DYRK1A and DYRK1B. DYRK1A is involved in neuronal differentiation and is implicated in the pathogenesis of DS (Down syndrome). DYRK1B plays a critical role in muscle differentiation by regulating transcription, cell motility, survival, and cell cycle progression. It is overexpressed in many solid tumors where it acts as a tumor survival factor. DYRK2 promotes apoptosis in response to DNA damage by phosphorylating the tumor suppressor p53, while DYRK3 promotes cell survival by phosphorylating SIRT1 and promoting p53 deacetylation. DYRK4 is a testis-specific kinase that may function during spermiogenesis.

Catalytic domain of the Serine/Threonine Kinase, MAPK/MAK/MRK Overlapping Kinase; STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. MOK, also called Renal tumor antigen 1 (RAGE-1), is widely expressed and is enriched in testis, kidney, lung, and brain. It is expressed in approximately 50% of renal cell carcinomas (RCC) and is a potential target for immunotherapy. MOK is stabilized by its association with the HSP90 molecular chaperone. It is induced by the transcription factor Cdx2 and may be involved in regulating intestinal epithelial development and differentiation. The MOK subfamily is part of a larger superfamily that includes the catalytic domains of other STKs, protein tyrosine kinases, RIO kinases, aminoglycoside phosphotransferase, choline kinase, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase.
