Ribosomal Protein-S6 Kinase Alpha-5 Definition

Widely expressed in heart, brain, placenta, lung, kidney, and liver by human RPS6KA5 Gene (S6 Ser/Thr Kinase Family), predominantly nuclear 802-aa 90-kDa Ribosomal Protein S6 Kinase Alpha 5 is a Ser/Thr kinase that associates with, phosphorylates, and controls NF-Kappa-B p65 subunit (RELA) transcriptional activity in response to TNF. RPS6KA5 activity requires the presence of both kinase domains. Likely activated by ERK1/2 and p38 Ser/Thr phosphorylations, RPS6KA5 transiently dissociates from complexes with ERK1/2 following mitogenic stimulation and may mediate growth factor and stress induced activation of transcription factor CREB. RPS6KA5 also associates with MAPK14/p38alpha. (NCI)
