Upon phosphorylation, cdc25 binds adaptor protein and the cell is prevented from entering mitosis. Cyclin-dependent kinases Chk2 (Checkpoint kinase 2) phosphorylates cdc25C at Ser-216. Chk6 called also Aurora A is critical for the formation of mitotic spindles during cellular mitosis. Chk6 is phosphorylated at residues Thr287 and Thr288. Chk13 (Polo-like kinase 1 or Plk1) functions during the M phase of the cell cycle including the regulation of centrosome maturation and spindle assembly. Chk13 binds and phosphorylates proteins which are already phosphorylated on a motif recognized by its POLO-box domain (Pbd) at the C terminal. Human Chk13 contains catalytic domain (residues 13-345) and POLO-box domain (residues 345-603). Chk11 see STK11. Chk Pak see Student Project 1 for UMass Chemistry 423 Spring 2015. Glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3) is a serine/threonine protein kinase. GSK-3 is active in a number of intracellular signaling pathways. GSK-3 regulates glycogen synthase as well as other proteins. GSK-3 inhibition is studied as a therapeutic target in diseases like Alzheimer, diabetes, bipolar disorder and some cancers. B-Raf is related to retroviral oncogenes and participates in cellular signal transduction. B-Raf domains include the kinase domain - residues 444-721 and Ras-binding domain - residues 153-237. Mutated B-Raf was found in some human cancers. See more in B-RAF with PLX4032; Mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade. c-Raf is part of the MAPK pathway. c-Raf domains include the kinase domain - residues 323-618, cysteine-rich domain – residues 136-187 and Ras-binding domain - residues 51-132. Mutations of c-Raf are possible causes of Noonan syndrome. For details on c-Raf see Molecular Playground/C-Raf and Mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade.. mTOR (mammalian target of Rapamycin) integrates the input from insulin, growth factors and amino acids. Rapamycin inhibits mTOR by association with FKBP12. See also PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. Gcn2 (Generl Control Nonderepressible 2) senses amino acid deficiency by binding to uncharged tRNA. PRK1 or serine/threonine protein kinase N1 belongs th protein kinase C family. PRK1 may mediate the Rho-independent signaling pathway. For more details see Student Project 1 for UMass Chemistry 423 Spring 2015. LRRK1, LRRK2 or leucine-rich repeat kinase phosphorylate Rab proteins . RIP regulates apoptosis. Ulk1, Ulk2 play a role in activating autophagy in mammals. Hipa phosphorylates Glu-tRNA synthetase causing bacterial antibiotic persistence . Pim, a-RAF, b-RAF, c-RAF, AKT1, AKT2, AKT3 see Proto-oncogene serine/threonine-protein kinase Leucine-rich repeat serine/threonine-protein kinase 2 (LRRK2) Protein kinase B (PKB), also known as AKT, is the collective name of a set of three serine/threonine-specific protein kinases that play key roles in multiple cellular processes such as glucose metabolism, apoptosis, cell proliferation, transcription, and cell migration. For example of AKT1 see 3mv5. Rac-α or AKT1 acts in cell growth and survival. Rac-β or AKT2 acts in metabolism. Rac-γ or AKT3 acts in the nervous system.

Importantly, the metal is not involved in any direct interaction with the protein kinase but fulfills a purely structural role. The unique, bulky molecular structure of the half-sandwich complex with the CO-ligand oriented perpendicular to the pyridocarbazole heterocycle allows the complex to stretch the whole distance sandwiched between the faces of the N- and C-terminal lobes and to interact tightly with the flexible glycine-rich loop. Although this complex is a conventional ATP-competitive binder, the unique shape of the complex allows novel interactions with the glycine-rich loop which are crucial for binding potency and selectivity. It can be hypothesized that coordination spheres which present other ligands towards the glycine-rich loop might display completely different protein kinase selectivities. 3D structures of serine/threonine protein kinase Serine/threonine protein kinase 3D structures
