Disease

DYR1A_HUMAN Defects in DYRK1A are the cause of mental retardation autosomal dominant type 7 (MRD7) [MIM:614104. A disease characterized by primary microcephaly, severe mental retardation without speech, anxious autistic behavior, and dysmorphic features, including bitemporal narrowing, deep-set eyes, large simple ears, and a pointed nasal tip. Mental retardation is characterized by significantly below average general intellectual functioning associated with impairments in adaptative behavior and manifested during the developmental period.^[1]

Function

DYR1A_HUMAN May play a role in a signaling pathway regulating nuclear functions of cell proliferation. Phosphorylates serine, threonine and tyrosine residues in its sequence and in exogenous substrates.^[2]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

DYRK1A is one of five members of the dual-specificity tyrosine (Y) phosphorylation-regulated kinase (DYRK) family. The DYRK1A gene is located in the Down syndrome critical region and regulates cellular processes related to proliferation and differentiation of neuronal progenitor cells during early development. This has focused research on its role in neuronal degenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's and Down syndrome. Recent studies have also shown a possible role of DYRK1A in diabetes. Here we report a variety of scaffolds not generally known for DYRK1A inhibition, demonstrating their effects in in vitro assays and also in cell cultures. These inhibitors effectively block the tau phosphorylation that is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. The crystal structures of these inhibitors support the design of optimized and novel therapeutics.
