Danio rerio      Atypical/Alpha


※ Alpha family introduction

    Alpha kinases belong to atypical kinase group and lack significant sequence similarity to ePK (1). Six members have been identified in mammals, including elongation factor 2 kinase, Dictyostelium myosin heavy chain kinases and other protein kinases. eEF-2 is involve in regulation of the global rate of protein synthesis and MHCK A is essential in regualtion of myosin assembly and disassembly. Although no detectable sequence identity between ePK and Alpha kinases has been found, the structure, sequence motifs and key amino acid residue position are very similar. The differences may impact on substrate recognition (2).
