Protein Kinase
30% of all proteins may be modified 518 protein kinase genes=human kinome space 20% of all eukaryotic genes(human genome project) Approx 30=tumor suppressor 218 genes=human diseases Approx 100 dominant oncogenes
Kinases Protein phosphorylation cell signaling Reversible protein phosphorylation as a biological regulatory mechanism Edmond H. Fischer and Edwin G. Krebs (1992 Nobel Prize for Physiology and Medicine). Post-translational modification in the cell • Cell growth/proliferation • Differentiation • Viability/survival • Homeostasis • Effector function (e.g. cytotoxicity, cytokine production) • Cell death ‘signal’
Signal Transduction and Kinase Pathways Adaptor proteins Nucleus MAP kinase, • Transcription factors – Bind consensus sequence on promoter – May form complexes – May itself be transcribed following cellular activation Effector enzymes
Classification On the basis of amino acid : Tyrosine kinases, Serine threonine (PKC, Plk,Rho Kinases) Receptor (EGFR,FGFR,PDGFR) non receptor (JAK,src,Abl,MAPK)
