protein kinase C conserved region 1 (C1 domain) found in myotonic dystrophy kinase-related Cdc42-binding kinase alpha (MRCK alpha) and similar proteins
MRCK alpha, also called Cdc42-binding protein kinase alpha, DMPK-like alpha, or myotonic dystrophy protein kinase-like alpha, is a serine/threonine-protein kinase expressed ubiquitously in many tissues. It plays a role in the regulation of peripheral actin reorganization and neurite outgrowth. It may also play a role in the transferrin iron uptake pathway. MRCK alpha is an important downstream effector of Cdc42 and plays a role in the regulation of cytoskeleton reorganization and cell migration. The C1 domain is a cysteine-rich zinc binding domain that does not bind DNA nor possess structural similarity to conventional zinc finger domains; it contains two separate Zn(2+)-binding sites.
