Purification and Kinase Assay of PKN

PKN is a serine/threonine protein kinase, which has a catalytic domain highly homologous to that of protein kinase C (PKC) in the carboxyl‐terminal region and three repeats of the antiparallel coiled coil (ACC) domain in the amino‐terminal region. Mammalian PKN has three isoforms each derived from d...

Zusammenfassung:PKN is a serine/threonine protein kinase, which has a catalytic domain highly homologous to that of protein kinase C (PKC) in the carboxyl‐terminal region and three repeats of the antiparallel coiled coil (ACC) domain in the amino‐terminal region. Mammalian PKN has three isoforms each derived from different genes, PKN1 (PKNα/PRK1/PAK1), PKN2 (PRK2/PAK2/PKNγ), and PKN3 (PKNβ). PKN isoforms show different enzymatic properties and tissue distributions and have been implicated in various distinct cellular processes (reviewed in Mukai [2003]). This chapter discusses methods to prepare purified enzymes and to assay substrate phosphorylation activities.
