PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • a N terminal protein-kinase domain followed by a conserved calmodulin binding domain
  • eight ankyrin repeats
  • two P-loops
  • a death domain
  • a functional ROC (Ras of complex proteins) domain that mediates homo-oligomerization and GTP binding through a defined P-loop motif (GTP binding regulates its function through intramolecular signalling)
  • HOMOLOGY
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • protein kinase superfamily
  • serine/threonine protein kinase family
  • ROCO family of proteins
  • CATEGORY enzyme , signaling

    basic FUNCTION
  • adhesion inhibitory effect, inducing death coupling the control of apoptosis to metastasis
  • calcium/calmodulin serine/threonine kinase, which positively mediates programmed cell death in a variety of systems
  • involved in Fas-induced extrinsic apoptosis in lymphoid cells
  • phosphorylates BECN1 on Thr 119 located at a crucial position within its BH3 domain, and thus promotes the dissociation of BECN1 from BCL2L1 and the induction of autophagy
  • phosphorylates tropomyosin-1 in response to ERK activation by hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2), and regulates the formation of stress fibers in response to oxidative stress
  • modulation of DAPK1 activities is critical for regulation of apoptosis and cellular homeostasis
  • phosphorylating GRIN2B and in turn enhancing the NR1/NR2B receptor channel conductance
  • promotes cell death partly through its effect on regulating actin cytoskeletons (
  • molecular link of DAPK to tau phosphorylation, an event associated with Alzheimer disease pathology
  • inhibits the ability of PIN1 to induce centrosome amplification and cell transformation
  • calmodulin-dependent protein kinases that are regulated by oligomerization, calmodulin binding, and autophosphorylation
  • new functions and regulation for both DAPK1 and DDX20 in carcinogenesis
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell life, cell death/apoptosis

    a component
  • constituent of the actin microfilament network
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • suppressing integrin activity and disrupting matrix survival signals thereby activating a p53 dependent apoptotic pathway
  • interaction with GRIN2B mediating brain damage in stroke
  • KLHL20-CUL3-RBX1 E3 ligase complex promotes DAPK1 polyubiquitination, thereby inducing the proteasomal degradation of DAPK1, and controling interferon response
  • interacting with PIN1 (phosphorylates PIN1 and inhibits its prolyl isomerase activity and cellular function)
  • interacting with UNC5B (triggers cell death through the activation of the serine-threonine protein kinase DAPK1)
  • ATF6 in association with the transcription factor CEBPB, regulates IFNG-induced expression of DAPK1
  • ITPRIP binds directly to DAPK1 and inhibits DAPK1 catalytic activity
  • cell & other
    REGULATION
    repressed by HOXB7
    Other calcium Ca2+/calmodulin-regulated
    triggered by IFNG
    regulated by CEBPB (CEBPB binds to the promoter of DAPK1 and is required for the regulation of DAPK1)
    regulated by RGM/neogenin that regulates cell fate by controlling the DAPK1 activity
