Peptide Name: KinSub5RRGSF

Product Use: For assaying the phosphotransferase activity of Dual specificity protein kinase CLK1 (UniProt ID P49759). The KinSub5RRGSF peptide demonstrated moderate phosphotransferase activity with CLK1, and exhibited very high specificity when assayed with over 200 other protein kinases. A listing of other kinases that show appreciable phosphotransferase activity towards this peptide are listed in Table 1.

Peptide Production Method: Solid-phase peptide synthesis

Peptide Origin: KinSub5RRGSF was originally identified using a microarray with peptides that were predicted as optimal substrates for 500 human protein kinases with a proprietary algorithm developed at Kinexus with our academic partners.

Scientific Background: CLK1 is one of several protein kinases that can phosphorylate KinSub5RRGSF. Human CLK1(also known as STY) is a protein-serine/threonine kinase of 484 amino acid length, with a predicted molecular mass of 57,291 Da. It is a member of the CMGC group of protein kinases in the CLK family. This kinase shows high variability in human tissue distribution with the highest levels detected in adrenals, brain, kidney, lung, ovary, pituitary, prostate, spinal cord, testes, thymus, thyroid, trachea, and uterus. Orthologues of CLK1 are amongst the most highly conserved protein kinases in animals, plants, fungi and unicellular eukaryotes. CLK1 interacts with PPIG. It is a member of the CDC2-like (or LAMMER) family of dual specificity protein kinases. The phosphorylated serine/arginine-rich (SR) proteins involves in the pre-mRNA processing and releasing through nucleus into nucleoplasm. CLK1, which could phosphorylates the specific SR proteins (1) such as ASF/SF2, may directly regulates the activity and compartmentalization of SR splicing factors (2).
