NDR1/STK38: Proteins and Enzymes

STK38 belongs to the NDR family of serine/threonine protein kinases. NDR kinases require the phosphorylation of conserved Ser/Thr residues for activation. NDR family members have two unique stretches of primary sequence: an N-terminal regulatory (NTR) domain and an insert of several residues between subdomains VII and VIII of the kinase domain. The kinase domain insert functions as an auto-inhibitory sequence (AIS), while binding of the co-activator MOB (Mps-one binder) proteins to the NTR ...
