VRK3
gene geneOn this page
Summary
VRK3 (VRK serine/threonine kinase 3, HGNC:18996) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 19q13.33, encoding Serine/threonine-protein kinase VRK3 (Q8IV63). Plays a role in the regulation of the cell cycle by phosphorylating the nuclear envelope protein barrier-to-autointegration factor/BAF that is required for disassembly and reassembly, respectively, of the nuclear envelope during mitosis.
This gene encodes a member of the vaccinia-related kinase (VRK) family of serine/threonine protein kinases. In both human and mouse, this gene has substitutions at several residues within the ATP binding motifs that in other kinases have been shown to be required for catalysis. In vitro assays indicate the protein lacks phosphorylation activity. The protein, however, likely retains its substrate binding capability. This gene is widely expressed in human tissues and its protein localizes to the nucleus. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcripts encoding different isoforms.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 8)
- Data from molecular dynamic simulations suggest that bivalent cations play key structural roles in stabilization of VRK1/VRK2; bivalent cations have no obvious effects on VRK3. These kinases are targets in search for antineoplastic agents. [REVIEW] (PMID:23082977)
- These data suggest that VRK3-mediated phosphorylation of BAF may facilitate DNA replication or gene expression by facilitating the dissociation of nuclear envelope proteins and chromatin during interphase. (PMID:25899223)
- Stress-induced nuclear translocation of CDK5 suppresses neuronal death by downregulating ERK activation via VRK3 phosphorylation (PMID:27346674)
- Nuclear HSP70 leads to enhancement of vaccinia H1-related phosphatase (VHR) activity via protein-protein interaction rather than its molecular chaperone activity, thereby suppressing excessive ERK activation. Downregulation of either VRK3 or HSP70 rendered cells vulnerable to glutamate-induced apoptosis. (PMID:27941812)
- Finally, downregulation of hvrk3 using siRNA reduced the amplitude and lengthened the period of the cellular bioluminescence rhythm. Taken together, these data suggest that VRK3 plays a role in setting the amplitude and period length of circadian rhythms in mammalian cells. (PMID:28412365)
- this study not only provides a resource for investigating the unidentified functions of VRK1/VRK3, but also an insight into the regulatory roles of VRK1/VRK3 in biological processes. (PMID:28927264)
- VRK3 is an interesting and promising target in Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma. (PMID:31324890)
- RNF144a induces ERK-dependent cell death under oxidative stress via downregulation of vaccinia-related kinase 3. (PMID:33067254)

Function. Plays a role in the regulation of the cell cycle by phosphorylating the nuclear envelope protein barrier-to-autointegration factor/BAF that is required for disassembly and reassembly, respectively, of the nuclear envelope during mitosis. Under normal physiological conditions, negatively regulates ERK activity along with VHR/DUSP3 phosphatase in the nucleus, causing timely and transient action of ERK. Stress conditions activate CDK5 which phosphorylates VRK3 to increase VHR phosphatase activity and suppress prolonged ERK activation that causes cell death. For example, upon glutamate induction, promotes nuclear localization of HSP70/HSPA1A to inhibit ERK activation via VHR/DUSP3 phosphatase.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with DUSP3. Interacts with RAN. Interacts with HSP70/HSPA1A.
Subcellular location. Nucleus. Cytoplasm.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylated at Ser-108 by CDK5; leading to protection of the cell against H2O2-induced apoptosis. Ubiquitinated by RNF144A.
Similarity. Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. CK1 Ser/Thr protein kinase family. VRK subfamily.
