serine/threonine protein kinase 24; mammalian STE20-like protein kinase 3; MST-3; STE20-like kinase MST3; contains: serine/threonine protein kinase 24 36kDa subunit MST3/N, serine/threonine protein kinase 24 12kDa subunit MST3/C (STK24, MST3)
Function:
- serine/threonine protein kinase
- phosphorylateds both Ser & Thr
- promotes apoptosis in response to stress stimuli & caspase activation
- mediates oxidative-stress-induced cell death by modulating phosphorylation of JNK1-JNK2 (MAPK8-MAPK9), JUN & p38 (MAPK11, MAPK12, MAPK13 & MAPK14) during oxidative stress
- role in a staurosporine-induced caspase-independent apoptosis by regulating the nuclear translocation of AIFM1 & ENDOG & the DNAse activity associated with ENDOG
- phosphorylates STK38L on Thr-442 & stimulates its kinase activity
- regulates cellular migration with alteration of PTPN12 activity & PXN phosphorylation:
- phosphorylates PTPN12 & inhibits its activity
- may regulate PXN phosphorylation through PTPN12
- may act as a key regulator of axon regeneration in the optic nerve & radial nerve
- proteolytically processed by caspases during apoptosis
- proteolytic cleavage results in kinase activation, nuclear translocation of the truncated form (MST3/N) & induction of apoptosis
- isoform B is activated by phosphorylation by PKA
- oxidative stress induces phosphorylation
- activated by autophosphorylation at Thr-190
- Thr-190 phosphorylation is essential for function
- Mn+2, Mg+2 & cobalt-dependent autophosphorylation is mainly on Thr
- Zn+2-dependent autophosphorylation is on both Ser & Thr
Cofactor: Mg+2, Mn+2, cobalt & Zn+2
Kinetic parameters:
- KM=12.8 uM for Mn+2
- KM=34.9 uM for cobalt ions
- KM=22.7 uM for Mg+2
- KM=4.1 uM for Zn+2
- Vmax=2623.1 pmol/min/mg enzyme for Mn+2
- Vmax=1746.1 pmol/min/mg enzyme for cobalt ions
- Vmax=129.1 pmol/min/mg enzyme for Mg+2
- Vmax=22.3 pmol/min/mg enzyme for Zn+2
Structure:
- monomer
- belongs to the protein kinase superfamily, STE Ser/Thr protein kinase family, STE20 subfamily
- contains 1 protein kinase domain
Compartment: -cytoplasm, nucleus, membrane
- the truncated form (MST3/N) translocates to the nucleus
- co-localizes with STK38L in the membrane
Alternative splicing: named isoforms=2
Expression:
- isoform A is ubiquitous
- isoform B is expressed in brain
- high expression in hippocampus & cerebral cortex
