Nomenclature Committee of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (NC-IUBMB)

Proposed Changes to the Enzyme List

Protein Kinases

The entries below are proposed additions and amendments to the Enzyme Nomenclature list. They were prepared for the NC-IUBMB by Keith Tipton, Sinéad Boyce, Gerry Moss and Hal Dixon, with occasional help from other Committee members, and were put on the web by Gerry Moss. Comments and suggestions on these draft entries should be sent to Professor K.F. Tipton and Dr S. Boyce (Department of Biochemistry, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin 2, Ireland). These entries were made public December 2005 and approved February 2006.

An asterisk before 'EC' indicates that this is an amendment to an existing enzyme rather than a new enzyme entry.

Reaction: ATP + [Fas-activated serine/threonine protein] = ADP + [Fas-activated serine/threonine phosphoprotein]

Other name(s): FAST; FASTK; STK10

Systematic name: ATP:[Fas-activated serine/threonine protein] phosphotransferase

Comments: This enzyme is activated during Fas-mediated apoptosis.

Phosphorylation of TIA-1 precedes the onset of DNA fragmentation.

Other name(s): CHUK; IKBKA; IKBKB; IKK; IKK-1; IKK-2; inhibitor of NFκB kinase; inhibitor of NF-κB kinase; STK12; TANK-binding kinase 1; TBK1

Systematic name: ATP:[IκB protein] phosphotransferase

Comments: The enzyme phosphorylates IκB proteins at specific serine residues, which marks them for destruction via the ubiquitination pathway. Subsequent degradation of the IkB complex (IKK) activates NF-κB, a translation factor that plays an important role in inflammation, immunity, cell proliferation and apoptosis. If the serine residues are replaced by threonine residues, the activity of the enzyme is decreased considerably.

Common name: cAMP-dependent protein kinase

Reaction: ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein

Other name(s): AMPK; PKA; PKA C; protein kinase A; STK22

Systematic name: ATP:protein phosphotransferase (cAMP-dependent)

Comments: cAMP is required to activate this enzyme. The inactive holoenzyme of cAMP-dependent protein kinase is a tetramer composed of two regulatory (R) and two catalytic (C) subunits. cAMP causes the dissociation of the inactive holoenzyme into a dimer of regulatory subunits bound to four cAMP molecules and two free monomeric catalytic subunits [i.e. R2C2 + 4 cAMP = R2(cAMP)4 + 2 C].

Systematic name: ATP:protein phosphotransferase (cGMP-dependent)

Comments: cGMP is required to activate this enzyme. The enzyme occurs as a dimer in higher eukaryotes. The C-terminal region of each polypeptide chain contains the catalytic domain that includes the ATP and protein substrate binding sites. This domain catalyses the phosphorylation by ATP to specific serine or threonine residues in protein substrates [3]. The enzyme also has two allosteric cGMP-binding sites (sites A and B). Binding of cGMP causes a conformational change that is associated with activation of the kinase [4].

Systematic name: ATP:protein phosphotransferase (diacylglycerol-dependent)

Comments: A family of serine- and threonine-specific protein kinases that depend on lipids for activity. They can be activated by calcium but have a requirement for the second messenger diacylglycerol. Members of this group of enzymes phosphorylate a wide variety of protein targets and are known to be involved in diverse cell-signalling pathways. Members of the protein kinase C family also serve as major receptors for phorbol esters, a class of tumour promoters.

Common name: phosphorylase kinase

Reaction: 2 ATP + phosphorylase b = 2 ADP + phosphorylase a

Other name(s): dephosphophosphorylase kinase; glycogen phosphorylase kinase; PHK; phosphorylase b kinase; phosphorylase B kinase; phosphorylase kinase (phosphorylating); STK17

Systematic name: ATP:phosphorylase-b phosphotransferase

Comments: Requires Ca2+ and calmodulin for activity. The enzyme phosphorylates a specific serine residue in each of the subunits of the dimeric phosphorylase b. For muscle phosphorylase but not liver phosphorylase, this is accompanied by a further dimerization to form a tetrameric phosphorylase. The enzyme couples muscle contraction with energy production via glycogenolysis—glycolysis by catalysing the Ca2+-dependent phosphorylation and activation of glycogen phosphorylase b [5]. The γ subunit of the tetrameric αβγδ enzyme is the catalytic subunit.

Systematic name: ATP:protein phosphotransferase (spindle-pole-dependent)

Comments: The enzyme associates with the spindle pole during mitosis and is thought to play an important role in the dynamic function of the mitotic spindle during chromosome segregation.

Systematic name: ATP:cyclin phosphotransferase

Comments: Activation of cyclin-dependent kinases requires association of the enzyme with a regulatory subunit referred to as a cyclin. It is the sequential activation and inactivation of cyclin-dependent kinases, through the periodic synthesis and destruction of cyclins, that provides the primary means of cell-cycle regulation.

Systematic name: ATP:[DNA-directed RNA polymerase] phosphotransferase

Comments: The enzyme appears to be distinct from other protein kinases. It brings about multiple phosphorylations of the unique C-terminal repeat domain of the largest subunit of eukaryotic DNA-directed RNA polymerase (EC 2.7.7.6). The enzyme does not phosphorylate casein, phosvitin or histone.

Systematic name: ATP:protein phosphotransferase (MAPKK-activated)

Comments: Phosphorylation of specific tyrosine and threonine residues in the activation loop of this enzyme by EC 2.7.12.2, mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MAPKK) is necessary for enzyme activation. Once activated, the enzyme phosphorylates target substrates on serine or threonine residues followed by a proline [6]. A distinguishing feature of all MAPKs is the conserved sequence Thr-Xaa-Tyr (TXY). Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signal transduction pathways are among the most widespread mechanisms of cellular regulation. Mammalian MAPK pathways can be recruited by a wide variety of stimuli including hormones (e.g. insulin and growth hormone), mitogens (e.g. epidermal growth factor and platelet-derived growth factor), vasoactive peptides (e.g. angiotensin-II and endothelin), inflammatory cytokines of the tumour necrosis factor (TNF) family and environmental stresses such as osmotic shock, ionizing radiation and ischaemic injury.

Systematic name: ATP:protein phosphotransferase (MAPKKKK-activated)

Comments: This enzyme phosphorylates and activates its downstream protein kinase, EC 2.7.12.2, mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MAPKK) but requires MAPKKKK for activation. Some members of this family can be activated by p21-activated kinases (PAK/STE20) or Ras. While c-Raf and c-Mos activate the classical MAPK/ERK pathway, MEKK1 and MEKK2 preferentially activate the c-Jun N-terminal protein kinase(JNK)/stress-activated protein kinase (SAPK) pathway [2]. Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signal transduction pathways are among the most widespread mechanisms of cellular regulation. Mammalian MAPK pathways can be recruited by a wide variety of stimuli including hormones (e.g. insulin and growth hormone), mitogens (e.g. epidermal growth factor and platelet-derived growth factor), vasoactive peptides (e.g. angiotensin-II and endothelin), inflammatory cytokines of the tumour necrosis factor (TNF) family and environmental stresses such as osmotic shock, ionizing radiation and ischaemic injury.

Other name(s): activin receptor kinase; receptor type I serine/threonine protein kinase; receptor type II serine/threonine protein kinase; STK13; TGF-β kinase; receptor serine/threonine protein kinase

EC 2.7.12.2

Common name: mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase

Reaction: ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein

Other name(s): MAP kinase kinase; MAP kinase kinase 4; MAP kinase kinase 7; MAP kinase or ERK kinase; MAP2K; MAPKK; MAPKK1; MEK; MEK1; MEK2; MKK; MKK2; MKK4; MKK6; MKK7; STK27

Systematic name: ATP:protein phosphotransferase (MAPKKK-activated)

Comments: This enzyme is a dual-specific protein kinase and requires mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase (MAPKKK) for activation. It is required for activation of EC 2.7.11.24, mitogen-activated protein kinase. Phosphorylation of MEK1 by Raf involves phosphorylation of two serine residues [5]. Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signal transduction pathways are among the most widespread mechanisms of cellular regulation. Mammalian MAPK pathways can be recruited by a wide variety of stimuli including hormones (e.g. insulin and growth hormone), mitogens (e.g. epidermal growth factor and platelet-derived growth factor), vasoactive peptides (e.g. angiotensin-II and endothelin), inflammatory cytokines of the tumour necrosis factor (TNF) family and environmental stresses such as osmotic shock, ionizing radiation and ischaemic injury.
