Abstract

Signal transduction in the nervous system is heavily dependent on the three multifunctional serine/threonine protein kinases, PKA, PKC, and CaM-KII. Recent studies have furthered our understanding of how the multiple isoforms of these kinases and their subcellular localizations, regulatory properties, and substrate determinants are important for the specificity of kinase functions.

      DD is related in sequence and structure to the death effector domain and the caspase recruitment domain, which work in similar pathways and show similar interaction properties [44]. Protein kinases catalyze the transfer of the gamma phosphate from nucleotide triphosphates (often ATP) to one or more amino acid residues in a protein substrate side chain, and the resulting conformational change affects protein function [45]. In addition to the DD and kinase domain, all of the currently reported crustacean Pelle proteins (EsPelle, SpPelle, and LvPelle) have six low-complexity domains whose functions are still unclear.

      Experiments are under way to analyze the subcellular localization of STK33. Contrary to other serine/threonine kinases like PKA (protein kinase A), PKC (protein kinase C) and CaM-KII (calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II), which play a major role in the modulation of fundamental neural functions and occur in very high amounts in the nervous system (Scott and Soderling, 1992), STK33 shows no expression in neural tissues, as established by our RNA blot analysis and confirmed by the expression information of STK33 in the UniGene EST data set (Cluster Hs.148135). The expression pattern of STK33 in humans is similar to the pattern of another kinase gene belonging to the CaMK Group, the PhKgT (phosphorylase kinase, testis/liver, γ-2; PHKG2), which codes for the closest relative of STK33 in our phylogenetic analysis.
