Functional Characterization of Human RSK4, a New 90-kDa Ribosomal S6 Kinase, Reveals Constitutive Activation in Most Cell Types
5 Jan 2005
Abstract excerpt
The 90-kDa ribosomal S6 kinases (RSK1-3) are important mediators of growth factor stimulation of cellular proliferation, survival, and differentiation and are activated via coordinated phosphorylation by ERK and 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 (PDK1). Here we performed the functional characterization of a predicted new human RSK homologue, RSK4. We showed that RSK4 is a predominantly cytosolic...
