MuLK, a eukaryotic multi-substrate lipid kinase.
We report the identification and characterization of a novel lipid kinase that phosphorylates multiple substrates. This enzyme, which we term MuLK for multi-substrate lipid kinase, does not belong to a previously described lipid kinase family. MuLK has orthologs in many organisms and is broadly expressed in human tissues. Although predicted to be a soluble protein, MuLK co-fractionates with mem...
متن کاملActivation-dependent substrate recruitment by the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 kinase PERK
Regulated phosphorylation of the alpha subunit of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 (eIF2alpha) by the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-activated protein kinase PERK modulates protein synthesis and couples the production of ER client proteins with the organelle's capacity to fold and process them. PERK activation by ER stress is known to involve transautophosphorylation, which decorat...
متن کاملWhen is a lipid kinase not a lipid kinase? When it is a protein kinase
About 10 years ago there was a heated debate over whether v-Src and several other retrovirally encoded protein-tyrosine kinases had lipid kinase activity in addition to protein kinase activity. Ultimately, the analysis of the unusual lipid kinase activity associated with v-Src led to the discovery of a novel type of phosphatidylinositol (PI) kinase, the PI 3-kinases. This in turn led to the cha...
متن کاملGlycerol Kinase: Substrate Specificityl
Glycerol kinase (8.C. 2.7.1.30, ATP: glycerol-3-phosphotransferase) catalyzes the phosphorylation of 28 nitrogen, sulfur, and alkyl-substituted analogues of glycerol. A survey of 66 analogues has defined qualitatively the structural characteristics nffissary for acceptability as a substrate by this enzyme. This survey was conducted using an assay based on 3lP NMR spectroscopy which detected pro...
متن کاملSubstrate-supported lipid nanotube arrays.
This Communication describes the self-assembly of phospholipids into lipid nanotubes inside nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide substrate. Orientations of the lipid molecules in such lipid nanoscale structures were verified by high-resolution spin labeling EPR at 95 GHz. The static order parameter of lipids in such nanotube arrays was determined from low-temperature EPR spectra and was found to be...
