Rabbit Anti-Phospho-RSK3 (Thr353 + Thr356)/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
RSK3(Ribosomal S6 kinase 3)is a member of a family of 90-kDa ribosomal protein S6 kinases, which includes Rsk1, Rsk2 and Rsk3. These are broadly expressed serine/threonine protein kinases that are activated in response to mitogenic stimuli, including extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases Erk1 and Erk2. Rsk3 is a distinct isoform of p90Rsk that translocates to the cell nucleus, phosphorylates potential nuclear targets and may have a unique upstream activator. Several sites, such as Ser380, Thr359, Ser363 and Thr573, are important for its activation. Active Rsks appear to play a major role in transcriptional regulation by translocating to the nucleus and phosphorylating c Fos and CREB.
Function:
Serine/threonine-protein kinase that acts downstream ofERK (MAPK1/ERK2 and MAPK3/ERK1) signaling and mediates mitogenicand stress-induced activation of transcription factors, regulatestranslation, and mediates cellular proliferation, survival, anddifferentiation. May function as tumor suppressor in epithelialovarian cancer cells.
Subunit:
Forms a complex with either MAPK1/ERK2 or MAPK3/ERK1 inquiescent cells. Transiently dissociates following mitogenicstimulation.
Subcellular Location:
Nucleus. Cytoplasm.
Tissue Specificity:
Widely expressed with higher expression inlung, skeletal muscle, brain, uterus, ovary, thyroid and prostate.
Post-translational modifications:
Activated by phosphorylation at Ser-218 by PDPK1.Autophosphorylated on Ser-377, as part of the activation process.May be phosphorylated at Thr-356 and Ser-72 by MAPK1/ERK2 andMAPK3/ERK1.
N-terminal myristoylation results in an activated kinase inthe absence of added growth factors.
Similarity:
Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. AGC Ser/Thrprotein kinase family. S6 kinase subfamily.
Contains 1 AGSLCkinase SLCterminal domain.
Contains 2 protein kinase domains.
