Peptide Name: KinSub6RRGSF

Product Use: For assaying the phosphotransferase activity of Thousand and one amino acid protein 2 (TAO2, UniProt ID Q9UL54). The KinSub6RRGSF peptide demonstrated high phosphotransferase activity with PAK5 (PAK7), and exhibited 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: KinSub6RRGSF 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: TAO2 is one of several protein kinases that can phosphorylate KinSub6RRGSF. Human TAO2 (also known as TAOK2) is a protein-serine/threonine kinase of 1235 amino acid length, with a predicted molecular mass of 138,251 Da. It is a member of the STE group of protein kinases in the STE20 family, and TAO subfamily. This kinase is highly expressed and widely distributed in most tested human tissues except in the brain and spinal cord where it is poorly expressed. Orthologues of TAO2 are highly conserved in vertebrates, including amphibians. TAO2 interacts with and activates MKK3 and MKK6, which phosphorylate and activate p38 MAPK (1). It also interfers with MAP3K7-binding to IKKa and thus prevents NF-kappa-B activation. TAO2 may play an important role in the activation of specific intracellular signalling pathways that are unique to osmotic stress (2).
