ribosomal protein S6 kinase A3(RPS6KA3) Homo sapiens This gene encodes a member of the RSK (ribosomal S6 kinase) family of serine/threonine kinases. This kinase contains 2 non-identical kinase catalytic domains and phosphorylates various substrates, including members of the mitogen-activated kinase (MAPK) signalling pathway. The activity of this protein has been implicated in controlling cell growth and differentiation. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Coffin-Lowry syndrome (CLS).

Function:
Catalytic activity:ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.,cofactor:Magnesium.,Disease:Defects in RPS6KA3 are the cause of Coffin-Lowry syndrome (CLS) [MIM:303600]; an X-linked dominant disorder characterized by severe mental retardation with facial and digital dysmorphisms, and progressive skeletal deformations.,enzyme regulation:Activated by multiple phosphorylations on threonine and serine residues.,Function:Serine/threonine kinase that may play a role in mediating the growth-factor and stress induced activation of the transcription factor CREB.,PTM:Autophosphorylated on Ser-386, as part of the activation process.,PTM:Ser-227 phosphorylation promotes Ser-386 phosphorylation and leads to basal activation. Full activation by growth factors requires additional phosphorylation on Ser-369.,similarity:Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. AGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family. S6 kinase subfamily.,similarity:Contains 1 AGC-kinase C-terminal domain.,similarity:Contains 2 protein kinase domains.,subunit:Forms a complex with either ERK1 or ERK2 in quiescent cells. Transiently dissociates following mitogenic stimulation (By similarity). Interacts with NFATC4.,tissue specificity:Expressed in many tissues, highest levels in skeletal muscle.,
