Catalytic domain of the Protein Tyrosine Kinase, Fer Protein Tyrosine Kinase (PTK) family; Fer kinase; catalytic (c) domain. The PTKc family is part of a larger superfamily that includes the catalytic domains of other kinases such as protein serine/threonine kinases, RIO kinases, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K). PTKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to tyrosine (tyr) residues in protein substrates. Fer kinase is a member of the Fes subfamily of proteins which are cytoplasmic (or nonreceptor) tyr kinases containing an N-terminal region with FCH (Fes/Fer/CIP4 homology) and coiled-coil domains, followed by a SH2 domain, and a C-terminal catalytic domain. Fer kinase is expressed in a wide variety of tissues, and is found to reside in both the cytoplasm and the nucleus. It plays important roles in neuronal polarization and neurite development, cytoskeletal reorganization, cell migration, growth factor signaling, and the regulation of cell-cell interactions mediated by adherens junctions and focal adhesions. Fer kinase also regulates cell cycle progression in malignant cells. |
