Phosphorylation is a ubiquitous cellular regulatory mechanism. It is a reversible, covalent modification of
a protein or lipid that serves to modify the activity of the phosphorylated molecule by inducing conforma-
tional changes within the molecule. This modification occurs either through the addition of phosphate
groups via the transfer of the terminal phosphate from ATP to an amino acid residue and/or by their
removal. The function of these post-translational modifications is to alter the substrate’s activity, subcellular
localization, binding properties or association with other proteins. Families of specialized molecules catalyze
the addition (kinases) or removal (phosphatases) of phosphate groups from proteins. Different classes of
protein kinases and phosphatases act specifically on serine/threonine residues, or tyrosine residues. An
important feature of kinases and phosphatases is that a single molecule is able to activate many substrate
molecules, thus allowing for amplification of the initial signal.
Kinases and phosphatases are of interest to researchers involved in drug discovery, because of their
broad relevance to health and disease. Cancer and other proliferative diseases, inflammatory diseases,
metabolic disorders and neurological diseases are among those in which protein phosphorylation plays an
important role. All signal transduction pathways are regulated, on some level, by phosphorylation, making
phosphorylation relevant to most, if not all, areas of cell signaling and neuroscience research.

CALCIUM/CALMODULIN-DEPENDENT PROTEIN KINASES
Free calcium is a major second messenger in all cell types. One mechanism by which calcium ions exert
their effect is by binding to a 17 kDa protein, calmodulin (CaM). The binding of four calcium ions to
calmodulin changes its conformation and promotes its interaction with a number of other proteins,
including several classes of protein kinases that are activated by the calcium/CaM complex. A practical
way of classifying the calcium/CaM-dependent protein kinases is based on their substrate specificity: some
of these enzymes have only one substrate, and are designated as ‘dedicated’ calcium/CaM-dependent
protein kinases, while others have broad substrate specificity and are termed ‘multifunctional’ kinases.
The dedicated calcium/CaM-dependent protein kinases comprise three enzymes: phosphorylase kinase,
myosin light chain kinase and eEF2-kinase. Phosphorylase kinase, the first protein kinase to be identified,
phosphorylates and activates glycogen phosphorylase, the enzyme that degrades glycogen. Phosphorylase
kinase is activated either by phosphorylation by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase or by the binding
of calcium/CaM. This mechanism of regulation is especially important in muscle where glycogen break-
down and muscle contraction are coordinated by the transient increase in cytoplasmic calcium levels.
Myosin light chain kinases (MLCK) are a group of enzymes that phosphorylate the regulatory light chain of
myosin. Smooth muscle MLCK induces smooth muscle contraction by increasing actin-activated myosin
ATPase activity. In contrast, striated muscle MLCK plays only a modulatory role in contraction by potenti-
ating the effects of troponin-bound calcium on actin/myosin. In non-muscle cells, MLCKs are key factors
in the numerous processes which involve actin/myosin-based organelle movement or cell motility. eEF2-
kinase (also known as CaM-kinase III) phosphorylates eukaryotic elongation factor 2 (eEF2), a GTPase
necessary for the elongation step in protein translation. eEF2-kinase belongs to a separate class of
protein kinases that also includes myosin heavy chain kinases, and is distinct from the main family of
protein kinases with which they have no sequence similarity. Phosphorylation of eEF2 by eEF2-kinase
accounts for a calcium-dependent interruption of protein synthesis that may be responsible for a rapid
change in the nature of the mRNA being translated.
Multifunctional calcium/CaM-dependent protein kinases comprise three enzymes referred to as CaM-
kinases I, II and IV. CaM-kinase II (CaMKII) is an oligomer of probably 12 subunits that has unique prop-
erties and is also the most extensively studied. As is the case with other CaM-kinases, the activity of CaMKII
is inhibited by an autoinhibitory domain. This inhibition is alleviated by binding calcium/CaM which allows
autophosphorylation of the autoinhibitory domain. Once autophosphorylation has occurred, the presence
of calcium/CaM is no longer necessary and the enzyme becomes calcium/CaM-independent. Interestingly,
the oligomeric structure of CaMKII and the fact that autophosphorylation is a ‘trans’ reaction between
different subunits of the oligomer has important consequences. Autophosphorylation promotes calcium/CaM
trapping and occurs only when two adjacent subunits are bound to calcium/CaM. Thus, CaMKII is sensi-
tive to the duration and frequency of calcium transients, and is capable of decoding the frequency of
calcium spikes. CaMKII may also remain active for some time while calcium levels return to normal,
thereby maintaining a transient ‘memory’ of neuronal activation. Its abundance in synaptic regions
and its actions on many proteins, including ion channels, make CaMKII an important contributor to
the processes of synaptic plasticity and the induction of LTP (Long Term Potentiation).

CALCIUM/CALMODULIN-DEPENDENT PROTEIN KINASES
CaMKI and CaMKIV are monomeric enzymes that share the common property of being activated by
calcium/CaM binding and by phosphorylation by a CaM-kinase-kinase (CaMKK). Together these kinases
are organized as a calcium/CaM-dependent protein kinase cascade. CaMKIV phosphorylates transcription
factors, including cAMP responsive element binding protein (CREB) and the associated CREB-binding
protein (CBP), and thus plays a major role in calcium-regulated gene transcription. CaMKK controls the
activity of both CaMKI and CaMKIV. CaMKK is also able to phosphorylate and activate PKB (Akt), and
thus exerts anti-apoptotic effects. Recently, a family of pro-apoptotic serine/threonine protein kinases has
been identified and termed death associated protein kinases (DAP-kinases). Two of these DAP-kinases
possess a CaM-binding domain and are activated by calcium/CaM.

CYCLIC NUCLEOTIDE- REGULATED KINASES
Cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA or cAK) and cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG or
cGK) transfer the γ-phosphate of ATP to serine and threonine residues of many cellular proteins. PKAs
are present in most cells and function as effectors of many cAMP-elevating first messengers such as
hormones and neurotransmitters. cGMP-elevating agents include nitric oxide, natriuretic peptides and
guanylin. In most tissues, PKGs are much less abundantly expressed than PKAs.
In the absence of its activating ligand cAMP, PKA exists as an inactive holoenzyme of two regulatory (R)
and two catalytic (C) subunits. Following an increase in intracellular cAMP, the (R)-subunits bind cAMP
resulting in the dissociation of the holoenzyme and the release of two free active catalytic (C)-subunits.
The active (C)-subunit phosphorylates peptide substrates containing the -R-R/K-X-S/T- substrate consen-
sus amino acid sequence (although exceptions to this consensus sequence have been observed). The
holoenzymes can be anchored to specific compartments via interaction of their regulatory subunits with
specific PKA anchoring proteins (AKAPs).
In contrast to PKA, the regulatory and catalytic regions of the PKG enzyme are present in one poly-
peptide. Binding of cGMP to the two cGMP-binding sites is thought to release the autoinhibitory N-
terminal domain from binding to the C-terminal catalytic domain, thus enabling substrate binding and
heterophosphorylation. The substrate consensus amino acid sequence for PKGs appears to require
multiple basic residues (consensus -R/K2-3-X-S/T-). However, in vitro, many substrate proteins can be
phosphorylated by both kinases. In addition to phosphorylating other proteins (heterophosphorylation),
each of the PKGs and type II PKA phosphorylate themselves (autophosphorylation). Within the cell, the
specific localization of the kinases and their substrates has been shown to restrict some of the possible
interactions suggested by in vitro data. PKG I is localized mainly in the cytoplasm and a number of PKG
anchoring proteins (GKAPs) have been identified. The PKG II enzyme is anchored to membranes via its
myristoylated N-terminus.
PKA has been shown to mediate the vast majority of cellular responses to the intracellular second
messenger cAMP in eukaryotes. Other effectors of cAMP are cAMP-regulated guanine nucleotide
exchange factors of small G proteins and cAMP-regulated ion channels. PKA I functions include the
inhibition of lymphocyte cell proliferation and immune response, mediation of long term depression in the
hippocampus, and sensory nerve transmission. PKA II mediates cAMP effects on neuronal gene expres-
sion and motor learning, on lipolysis and on sperm motility. The localization of PKA II via AKAPs to the
Golgi-centrosomal area in most cells, to receptors and ion channels, to the cytoskeleton and the nucleus
enables PKA II to regulate diverse cellular functions.
The second messenger cGMP has three major effector systems within the cell: cGMP-regulated ion
channels, cGMP-regulated phosphodiesterases and PKGs. PKG I mediates cGMP-induced smooth muscle
cell relaxation and inhibition of platelet aggregation. These effects correlate at least in part with an inhi-
bition of calcium release from intracellular stores. In addition PKG I can inhibit cardiac myocyte contrac-
tility and has also been shown to regulate proliferation and gene expression in various cell types. PKG II
stimulates intestinal chloride secretion, inhibits renin release from juxtaglomerular cells, stimulates renal
calcium reabsorption and regulates endochondrial ossification.

CYCLIN-DEPENDENT KINASES
Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are serine/threonine kinases that are crucial for cell cycle progression
and function as kinases only when complexed with cyclins. Within the complexes, the cyclin molecule
serves a regulatory role, whereas the CDK has a catalytic activity. To date, nine CDKs, referred to as
CDK1-CDK9, and 11 cyclins have been identified in human.
The structure of CDK2 consists of an amino-terminal lobe rich in β-sheets and a larger, mostly α-helical,
carboxy-terminal lobe. The ATP binding site is located in a deep cleft between the two lobes that con-
tains the conserved catalytic residues. Crystallographic studies have shown the important influence
cyclin binding has on CDK2, forcing the kinase into an active conformation. First, the T-loop, which
blocks substrate access to monomeric CDK2, is located outside the catalytic cleft after cyclin A binds.
This allows the activating phosphorylation of Thr160 by CDK7/cyclin H/MAT1. The second conforma-
tional change induced by cyclin binding is found within the ATP-binding site where a reorientation of
the amino acid side chains allows the alignment of the triphosphate of ATP necessary for phosphate
transfer. The strong sequence homology between the catalytic domains of different CDKs suggests that
their tertiary structures will be similar.
Progression through the G1, S, G2 and M phases of the cell cycle is directly controlled by CDKs. In early-
mid G1, extracellular signals modulate the activation of CDK4 and CDK6 associated with D-type cyclins.
These complexes phosphorylate and inactivate the retinoblastoma protein pRb, resulting in the release
of the E2F and DP1 transcription factors that control the expression of genes required for the G1/S tran-
sition and S phase progression. The CDK2/cyclin E complex, that is responsible for the G1/S transition,
also regulates centrosome duplication. During S phase, CDK2/cyclin A phosphorylates different substrates
allowing DNA replication and the inactivation of G1 transcription factors. Around the S/G2 transition,

CDK1 associates with cyclin A. Later, CDK1/cyclin B appears and triggers the G2/M transition by phos-
phorylating a large set of substrates. Phosphorylation of the anaphase promoting complex (APC) by
CDK1/cyclin B is required for transition to anaphase and completion of mitosis. These successive waves
of CDK/cyclin assemblies and activations are tightly regulated by post-translational modifications and
intracellular translocations. They are coordinated and dependent on the completion of previous steps,
through so-called “checkpoint” controls. Some CDKs directly regulate transcription. CDK7/cyclin H/MAT1
is a component of the transcription factor TFIIH. CDK9/cyclin T is a component of the positive transcrip-
tion elongation factor P-TEFb. It is responsible for the Tat-associated kinase activity involved in the HIV-1
Tat transactivation.
CDK5 is the only tissue specific CDK and is found only in neuronal cells. Its activity is important for out-
growth of neurites and neuronal development, for myogenesis and for somite organization in embryos.
An interesting aspect of CDK5 is the nature of its associated regulatory subunits, p35 or its proteolytic
cleavage product, p25. The predicted structure of p35/p25 shows a similar fold to that of cyclins, which
explains the efficient activation of CDK5. Conversion of p35 to p25 leads to constitutive activation of
CDK5 and alteration of its cellular localization. CDK5/p25 expression in cultured primary neurons trig-
gers apoptosis. Considerable evidence indicates links between CDK5 activity and the cytoskeletal abnor-
malities and neuronal death observed in Alzheimer’s disease.

MAP KINASE PATHWAY
The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family consists of both stress-activated (SAPK) and
mitogen-activated (MAPK) protein kinases. Together they form a network of signal transduction cascades
that mediate cellular responses to a diverse range of stimuli, including growth factors, chemical or
osmotic stress, irradiation, bacterial infection and proinflammatory cytokines. Each MAPK is activated
by dual phosphorylation on a Thr-Xaa-Tyr motif by upstream kinases, referred to as MAPK kinases or
MEKs (MKKs). MEKs are, in turn, activated by MAP3K (MKK kinases, MKKKs), over 30 of which have
been described. However, the details of how they are activated or which MAP3K really activates which
MEK in vivo is still poorly understood. MAPK and SAPK cascades frequently function as multi-protein
complexes in which the different components are assembled on a scaffold protein and/or by specific
protein-protein interactions, thereby increasing the speed and specificity of the cascade. MAPKs phos-
phorylate their substrates on serine or threonine residues which preceed a proline, but their specificity in
vivo is further enhanced by the presence of distinct docking sites that facilitate interaction with sub-
strates. To date, 12 different MAPK family members have been identified in mammalian cells, and
homologs are found in all eukaryotic cells. Information about the gene nomenclature of mammalian
MAPKs can be obtained from http://www.gene.ucl.ac.uk/users/hester/prkm.html.
The most studied cascades in mammalian cells are the classical ERK1/2, p38 (SAPK2) and c-jun N-
terminal kinase or JNK (SAPK1) cascades. The classical MAPK cascade, comprised of extracellular signal
regulated kinase 1 (ERK1) and ERK2, is activated by mitogens and growth factors, and plays an impor-
tant role in the control of cell growth and differentiation. However, its inappropriate activation can lead
to cell transformation and cancer. ERK5 is also activated in vivo by mitogens and has been suggested to
be important for epidermal growth factor (EGF)-induced cell proliferation. ERK3 and ERK7 are more

MAP KINASE PATHWAY
The JNK (SAPK1) cascade is activated by cellular stress, bacterial infection and proinflammatory
cytokines, and results in the phosphorylation of AP1 transcription factors, such as c-Jun. The p38
(SAPK2) cascade is activated by similar stimuli to JNK. p38γ has been shown to bind to, and to co-
localize with, α1-syntrophin by virtue of the interaction of its C-terminus with the PDZ domain of α1-
syntrophin. Nothing is yet known about the function of p38δ.
The MAPK family kinases phosphorylate MAPK-activated protein (MAPKAP) kinases. MAPKAP kinases
can be subdivided into two groups: those comprising two kinase domains in a single polypeptide, and
those with a single kinase domain. Both groups contain a C-terminal docking site that interacts with the
activator, thereby permitting phosphorylation and activation of the MAPKAP kinases.
The two kinase domain enzymes are MAPKAP-K1 (also called p90 Rsk), and mitogen and stress activated
protein kinase (MSK). MAPKAP-K1 is implicated in the regulation of several processes including cell
survival, gene transcription and the control of meiosis. Mutations in the human MAPKAP-K1b isoform
are linked to Coffin Lowry syndrome, a disease associated with mental retardation and growth defects.
MSK can be activated by either ERK1/ERK2 in response to mitogens and growth factors or by p38
following exposure to cellular stresses, proinflammatory cytokines and infection. Its N-terminal kinase
domain is 54% identical and its C-terminal kinase domain is 44% identical to the corresponding

MAP KINASE PATHWAY
domains of MAPKAP-K1. All the phosphorylation sites in MAPKAP-K1 are conserved in MSK, suggesting
an analogous mechanism of activation. However, in contrast to MAPKAP-K1, PDK1 is not required for
the activation of MSK, implying that the phosphorylation taking place in the activation loop of the
N-terminal kinase domain must be catalyzed by another protein kinase (perhaps MSK itself). The
Drosophila kinase JIL-1, an MSK1 homolog, has been localized to decondensed regions of chromo-
somes, suggesting a role in transcriptional regulation.
The MAPKAP kinases comprising a single kinase domain are MAPKAP-K2, MAPKAP-K3, MAPKAP-K5
(also called p38-regulated/activated kinase or PRAK) and MAPK-integrating kinase (MNK). MAPKAP-K2
is also involved in controlling production of the proinflammatory cytokines, tumor necrosis factor, inter-
leukin 6 and interferon γ, at a post-transcriptional level. This may result from the ability of MAPKAP-K2
to regulate the stability and/or translation of the mRNAs containing AU rich regions. Little is known
about the physiological role(s) of MAPKAP-K5.
One substrate of MNK1 is the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E). Phosphorylation of this
protein increases its affinity for the 5’ cap of the mRNA, thereby promoting translation. MNK1 may also
be the protein kinase that mediates the thrombin-induced phosphorylation of a residue near the C-
terminus of phospholipase A2 in platelets, which contributes to the activation of this enzyme.

The PDK1–PKB/Akt axis represents one of the most actively researched cell signaling pathways. This pro-
tein kinase cascade is known to play a central role in the action of insulin, growth factors, integrins and
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). It is also involved in the regulation of cell survival, metabolism
(including insulin-stimulated glucose transport and glycogen synthesis), gene expression, cell cycle entry
and protein synthesis.
All the kinases associated with this pathway lie in the protein serine/threonine kinase family and form a
single highly branching protein kinase cascade. Several of these kinases contain pleckstrin homology (PH)
domains that bind specific phosphoinositide lipids, such as phosphoinositide-3,4,5-trisphosphate (PIP3),
that are generated in the plasma membrane in response to agonist activity. As a result, kinase activation
is phosphoinositide 3-OH-kinase (PI3-kinase)-dependent.
3-Phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 (PDK1) stands at the head of this important signaling
pathway. Whether extracellular stimuli directly activate PDK1 (perhaps via the generation of plasma
membrane-localized PIP3), or whether they simply induce the translocation of PDK1 to its substrate
proteins within the plasma membrane, is not known. PDK1 activates a number of AGC-family protein
kinases (named for their homology to protein kinases A, G and C) and protein kinase B (PKB or Akt) by
phosphorylation of the T-loop Thr308. The full activation of PKB/Akt also involves the binding of PIP3
to the PH domain of PKB/Akt and the phosphorylation of an additional residue, Ser473, either by auto-
phosphorylation, by PDK1, or by an as yet unidentified kinase called PDK2. There is a great deal of

PDK1 – PKB/AKT PATHWAY
functional overlap between PKB/Akt isoforms; all phosphorylate the same RXRXXS/T motif and all are
capable of transforming a cell when rendered constitutively active by the introduction of a myristolation
signal sequence.
Thr308 and Ser473 lie within regions of PKB/Akt that are conserved throughout the AGC family kinases.
Hence, PDK1 also phosphorylates and activates several other AGC-family kinases. PDK1 is therefore a
central controller of multiple signaling pathways.
GSK3 also plays a role in the regulation of β-catenin stability and thus in gene expression. mTOR is
unusual in that it has both serine/threonine protein kinase as well as lipid kinase activities. It is a large
complex molecule that is a receptor for the immunosuppressant, rapamycin. mTOR, along with PDK1,
then plays an as yet ill-defined role in the activation of p70S6K that is important in the control of protein
synthesis, development, and growth control.

PROTEIN KINASE C
Protein kinase C (PKC) is a cyclic nucleotide-independent enzyme that phosphorylates serine and threonine
residues in many target proteins. It was first identified in 1977 in bovine cerebellum by Nishizuka and
co-workers as a protein kinase that phosphorylated histone and protamine. Since then, its involvement
in many biological processes has been demonstrated, including development, memory, cell differentiation
and proliferation and carcinogenesis. Once thought to be a single protein, PKC is now known to com-
prise a large family of isozymes that differ in structure, cofactor requirements and function. At present,
11 isozymes have been identified, varying in tissue expression and cellular compartmentalization.
The PKC family has been divided into three groups, based on the isozymes’ cofactor requirements: con-
ventional (c)PKC isoforms (comprising α, βI {also known as β2}, βII {also known as β1} and γ), that
require calcium and diacylglycerol (DAG) for activation, novel (n)PKC isoforms (comprising δ, ε, η {also
known as PKC-L}, θ and µ {the mouse homolog of human PKCµ is known as PKD}) that require DAG
and atypical (a)PKC isoforms, namely ζ, ι and l (the mouse homolog of human PKCι ) that require
neither calcium nor DAG. A new PKC member has recently been discovered and is referred to as PKCν.
It contains 890 amino acid residues and exhibits highest sequence similarity to PKCµ/PKD, thereby pos-
ing the possibility of a fourth subfamily of PKCs, comprising these isoforms. The PKC-related kinases
(PRKs) have also been classified as members of the PKC superfamily.
Activation of cPKCs involves translocation from the cytoplasm to binding domains at cell membranes.
Specific anchoring proteins, immobilized at particular intracellular sites, localize the kinase to its site of
action. These proteins include receptors for activated C-kinase (RACKS) and adducins. Following an
increase in intracellular calcium levels, cPKCs interact with the cell membrane in an inactive, but confor-
mationally distinct, form. DAG facilitates penetration of these isozymes into the cell membrane. Tumor-
promoting phorbol esters are used experimentally as synthetic DAG analogs. When attached, the
affinity of PKC for calcium is increased such that activation of the enzyme is achieved, depending on its
phosphorylation state. Phosphatidylserine is the membrane lipid anchor for both cPKCs and nPKCs,
although other membrane phospholipids may ultimately link extracellular signals to intracellular events
through PKC.
Each phosphorylation event induces conformational changes in the PKC molecule that result in altered
thermal stability, resistance to phosphatases and increased catalytic activity.P

PROTEIN TYROSINE KINASES
Protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) are enzymes that catalyze the phosphorylation of tyrosine residues. There
are two main classes of PTKs: receptor PTKs and cellular, or non-receptor, PTKs. These enzymes are
involved in cellular signaling pathways and regulate key cell functions such as proliferation, differentia-
tion, anti-apoptotic signaling and neurite outgrowth. Unregulated activation of these enzymes, through
mechanisms such as point mutations or overexpression, can lead to various forms of cancer as well as
benign proliferative conditions. Indeed, more than 70% of the known oncogenes and proto-oncogenes
involved in cancer code for PTKs. The importance of PTKs in health and disease is further underscored
by the existence of aberrations in PTK signaling occurring in inflammatory diseases and diabetes.
Receptor PTKs possess an extracellular ligand binding domain, a transmembrane domain and an intra-
cellular catalytic domain. The transmembrane domain anchors the receptor in the plasma membrane,
while the extracellular domains bind growth factors. Characteristically, the extracellular domains are com-
prised of one or more identifiable structural motifs, including cysteine-rich regions, fibronectin III-like
domains, immunoglobulin-like domains, EGF-like domains, cadherin-like domains, kringle-like domains,
factor VIII-like domains, glycine-rich regions, leucine-rich regions, acidic regions and discoidin-like domains.
The intracellular kinase domains of receptor PTKs can be divided into two classes: those containing a
stretch of amino acids separating the kinase domain and those in which the kinase domain is continuous.
Activation of the kinase is achieved by ligand binding to the extracellular domain, which induces dimer-
ization of the receptors. Receptors thus activated are able to autophosphorylate tyrosine residues outside
the catalytic domain via cross-phosphorylation. The results of this auto-phosphorylation are stabilization
of the active receptor conformation and the creation of phos-
photyrosine docking sites for proteins which transduce signals
within the cell. Signaling proteins which bind to the intracellular
domain of receptor tyrosine kinases in a phosphotyrosine-
dependent manner include RasGAP, PI3-kinase, phospholipase
Cγ, phosphotyrosine phosphatase, SHP and adaptor proteins
such as Shc, Grb2 and Crk.
In contrast to receptor PTKs, cellular PTKs are located in the
cytoplasm or nucleus or are anchored to the inner leaflet of the
plasma membrane. They are grouped into eight families: Src, JAK,
Abl, FAK, Fps, Csk, Syk and Btk. Each family consists of several
members. With the exception of homologous kinase domains
(Src Homology 1, or SH1 domains), and some protein-protein
interaction domains (SH2 and SH3 domains), they have little in
common, structurally. Of those cellular PTKs whose functions
are known, many, such as Src, are involved in cell growth. In
contrast, Fps PTKs are involved in differentiation, Abl PTKs are
involved in growth inhibition, and FAK activity is associated with

late the transcription factors, STATs. Still other PTKs activate pathways whose components and functions
remain to be determined.
