BTK (Bruton agammaglobulinemia tyrosine kinase)
The BTK protein is a 77 kDa protein of 659 amino acids. Translation of the BTK transcript starts at the ATG site that is located in exon 2 and ends in exon 19. The BTK protein is composed of an N-terminal Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain followed three protein interacting domains: Tec homology (TH) region, Src homology 3 (SH3) domain and SH2 domain. A tyrosine-kinase catalytic domain is located ...
متن کاملStructure and function of the SH3 domain from Bruton ́s tyrosine kinase
Mutations in the gene coding for Bruton ́s tyrosine kinase (Btk) lead to a lymphocyte differentiation block, which results in an extreme deficiency of B cells and plasma cells in the blood. These mutations are one cause of the hereditary immunodeficiency Xlinked agammaglobulinemia. Evolutionarily, Btk belongs to the Tec family of nonreceptor protein tyrosine kinases. Members of this family share...
متن کاملBruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) in X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA).
X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) is a heritable immunodeficiency disorder that is caused by a differentiation block leading to almost complete absence of B lymphocytes and plasma cells. The affected protein is a cytoplasmic protein tyrosine kinase, Bruton's agammaglobulinemia tyrosine kinase (Btk). Btk along with Tec, Itk, Bmx and Txk belong to a distinct family of protein kinases. These prote...
متن کاملAutoinhibition of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) and activation by soluble inositol hexakisphosphate
Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk), a Tec-family tyrosine kinase, is essential for B-cell function. We present crystallographic and biochemical analyses of Btk, which together reveal molecular details of its autoinhibition and activation. Autoinhibited Btk adopts a compact conformation like that of inactive c-Src and c-Abl. A lipid-binding PH-TH module, unique to Tec kinases, acts in conjunction wi...
