gene geneOn this page
Also known as PKX1
Summary
PRKX (protein kinase cAMP-dependent X-linked catalytic subunit, HGNC:9441) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome Xp22.33, encoding cAMP-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit PRKX (P51817). Serine/threonine protein kinase regulated by and mediating cAMP signaling in cells.
This gene encodes a serine threonine protein kinase that has similarity to the catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP dependent protein kinases. The encoded protein is developmentally regulated and may be involved in renal epithelial morphogenesis. This protein may also be involved in macrophage and granulocyte maturation. Abnormal recombination between this gene and a related pseudogene on chromosome Y is a frequent cause of sex reversal disorder in XX males and XY females. Pseudogenes of this gene are found on chromosomes X, 15 and Y.

cAMP-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit PRKX — P51817 (reviewed: P51817)
Alternative names: Protein kinase PKX1
All UniProt accessions (1): P51817
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Serine/threonine protein kinase regulated by and mediating cAMP signaling in cells. Acts through phosphorylation of downstream targets that may include CREB, SMAD6 and PKD1 and has multiple functions in cellular differentiation and epithelial morphogenesis. Regulates myeloid cell differentiation through SMAD6 phosphorylation. Involved in nephrogenesis by stimulating renal epithelial cell migration and tubulogenesis. Also involved in angiogenesis through stimulation of endothelial cell proliferation, migration and vascular-like structure formation.
Subunit / interactions. Like other cAMP-dependent protein kinases, the inactive holoenzyme is probably composed of 2 PRKX catalytic subunits and a dimer of regulatory subunits. Interacts (cAMP-dependent) specifically with the regulatory subunits PRKAR1A and PRKAR1B. Compared to other cAMP-dependent serine/threonine protein kinases, does not interact with the 2 other PKA regulatory subunits PRKAR2A and PRKAR2B. Interacts with cAMP-dependent protein kinase inhibitor/PKI proteins; inhibits PRKX. Interacts with GPKOW. Interacts with SMAD6. Interacts with PKD1; involved in differentiation and controlled morphogenesis of the kidney. Interacts with PIN1 (via WW domain).
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Nucleus.
Tissue specificity. Widely expressed (at protein level). Specifically expressed in blood by macrophages and granulocytes according to PubMed:9860982.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylated; autophosphorylates in vitro.
Disease relevance. A chromosomal aberration involving PRKX is a cause of sex reversal disorder. Translocation t(X;Y)(p22;p11) with PRKY. Chromosomal translocations proximal to PRKY account for about 30% of the cases of sex reversal disorder in XX males and XY females.
Activity regulation. Binding of cAMP to the PRKAR1A or PRKAR1B regulatory subunits induces dissociation of the holoenzyme heterotetramer. The released monomeric PRKX is then active and able to phosphorylate its substrates.
Induction. Up-regulated by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA).
Similarity. Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. AGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family. cAMP subfamily.
