Catalytic domain of the Serine/Threonine kinase, Receptor Interacting Protein STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. RIP kinases serve as essential sensors of cellular stress. They are involved in regulating NF-kappaB and MAPK signaling, and are implicated in mediating cellular processes such as apoptosis, necroptosis, differentiation, and survival. RIP kinases contain a homologous N-terminal kinase domain and varying C-terminal domains. Higher vertebrates contain multiple RIP kinases, with mammals harboring at least five members. RIP1 and RIP2 harbor C-terminal domains from the Death domain (DD) superfamily while RIP4 contains ankyrin (ANK) repeats. RIP3 contain a RIP homotypic interaction motif (RHIM) that facilitates binding to RIP1. RIP1 and RIP3 are important in apoptosis and necroptosis, while RIP2 and RIP4 play roles in keratinocyte differentiation and inflammatory immune responses. The RIP subfamily is part of a larger superfamily that includes the catalytic domains of other protein STKs, protein tyrosine kinases, RIO kinases, aminoglycoside phosphotransferase, choline kinase, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase. |
