Dual specificity protein kinase

Function

Dual specificity protein kinases are kinases which act as both tyrosine kinase and serine/threonine kinase.

  • CLK1 phosphorylates serine/arginine-rich proteins involved in pre-mRNA processing.
  • Clk2 and Clk3 cause the redistribution of SR proteins and can regulate the alternative splicing of precursor mRNA[1].
  • CLK4 phosphorylates tyrosine or serine/threonine[2].

Structural highlights

The dual specificity protein kinase TTK or monopolar spindle kinase 1 contains tetratricopeptide repeat domain (TPR) which serves as interaction domain between proteins. The TPR domain is a helical 34 amino acid motif which is found in several copies in a protein which fold together forming a protein-protein binding domain. Cancer therapy potential drugs bind in .[3][4]
