Function
Ca2+/Calmodulin dependent protein kinase (CaMK) are activated by elevation of Ca+2 concentration to phosphorylate Ser and Thr.
- CaMKI is a specialized CaM kinase.
- CaMKII is multifunctional kinase.
- CASK is a membrane associated CaMK.
- DAPK is a death-associated CaMK which protects cells from some programmed cell death.
Structural highlights
CAMK contains an N-terminal catalytic domain, regulatory domain (CBD) and association domain (ASD). DAPK contains a regulatory (RD) and autoinhibitory (AD) domains.
