peripheral plasma membrane protein CASK; hCASK; Ca+2/calmodulin-dependent serine protein kinase; protein lin-2 homolog (CASK, LIN2)
Function:
- multidomain scaffolding protein with a role in synaptic transmembrane protein anchoring & ion channel trafficking
- contributes to neural development & regulation of gene expression via interaction with the transcription factor TRB1
- binds to cell-surface proteins, including
a) amyloid precursor protein (APP)
b) neurexins
c) syndecans
d) actin-binding band 4.1 protein
- may mediate a link between the extracellular matrix & the actin cytoskeleton via its interaction with syndecan & with the actin/spectrin-binding protein 4.1
- differs from archetypal CaMK members in that the kinase domain exhibits a constitutively active conformation & the autoinhibitory region does not engage in direct contact with the ATP-binding cleft, although it still binds Ca+2/CAM
- binds WHRN & NRXN1 cytosolic tail
- interacts with CASKIN1, APBA1, LIN7(A/B/C) & L27 domain of DLG1 & isoform 2 of DLG4 (putative)
- CASK & LIN7 form two mutually exclusive tripartite complexes with APBA1 or CASKIN1 (putative)
- interacts with FCHSD2
- interacts with TSPYL2
- part of a complex containing CASK, TRB1 & TSPYL2 (putative)
- interacts with KIRREL3
Kinetic parameters:
- KM=563 uM for ATP
Cofactor:
- unlike other protein kinases, does not require a divalent cation such as Mg+2 for catalytic activity
Structure:
- the first L27 domain binds DLG1 & the second L27 domain probably binds LIN7 (putative)
- the protein kinase domain mediates the interaction with FCHSD2
- in the N-terminal section; belongs to the protein kinase superfamily, CAMK Ser/Thr protein kinase family, CaMK subfamily
- belongs to the MAGUK family
- contains 1 guanylate kinase-like domain
- contains 2 L27 domains
- contains 1 PDZ domain (DHR domain)
- contains 1 protein kinase domain
- contains 1 SH3 domain
Compartment:
- nucleus (putative). cytoplasm
- cell membrane; peripheral membrane protein
Alternative splicing: named isoforms=6
Expression:
- ubiquitous
- expression is significantly greater in brain relative to kidney, lung, & liver & in fetal brain & kidney relative to lung & liver
Pathology:
- defects in CASK are the cause of
a) mental retardation X-linked CASK-related (MRXCASK)
b) FG syndrome type 4
