| Specificity: |
The antibody detects a 105 kDa* protein corresponding to the molecular mass of eEF2K on SDS-PAGE immunoblots of human A431, HeLa, and Jurkat cells. The antibody also detected eEF2K in immunoprecipitations in HeLa cells and immunofluorescent labeling |
| Immunogen: |
eEF2K (C-terminus) synthetic peptide (coupled to carrier protein) corresponds to amino acids in the C-terminal region of human eEF2K. This sequence is well conserved in rat, mouse, chicken, and fish eEF2K, and has low homology to other proteins. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Autophosphorylated at multiple residues, Thr-348 being the major site. Phosphorylated by AMP-activated protein kinase AMPK at Ser-398 leading to EEF2K activation and protein synthesis inhibition. Phosphorylated by TRPM7 at Ser-78 resulting in improved protein stability, higher EE2F phosphorylated and subsequently reduced rate of protein synthesis. Phosphorylation by other kinases such as CDK1 and MAPK13 at Ser-359 or RPS6KA1 and RPS6KB1 at Ser-366 instead decrease EEF2K activity and promote protein synthesis. |
| Function | Threonine kinase that regulates protein synthesis by controlling the rate of peptide chain elongation. Upon activation by a variety of upstream kinases including AMPK or TRPM7, phosphorylates the elongation factor EEF2 at a single site, renders it unable to bind ribosomes and thus inactive. In turn, the rate of protein synthesis is reduced. |
