Description | This region is found in Connector enhancer of kinase suppressor of ras 2 (CNK2), Connector enhancer of kinase suppressor of ras 3 (CNK3) and CNK3/IPCEF1 fusion protein. This domain of unknown function is situated between the PDZ and PH domains in CNK2 and CNK3/IPCEF1 proteins and after the PDZ domain in CNK3 (which does not have a PH domain). CNK2 is predominantly expressed in neural tissues, being critical for postsynaptic density morphology, implicated in X-linked intellectual disability (ID). CNK2 was first described as a regulator of Ras/MAPK signalling by binding to the Ras effector RAF that lead to further studies concluding that it act as a scaffold for multiple signal cascades. It is able to direct the localisation of regulatory proteins within the cell and influences the behaviour of important regulatory molecules [ , ]. CNK3 regulates aldosterone-induced and epithelial sodium channel (ENaC)-mediated sodium transport through regulation of ENaC cell surface expression, acting as a scaffold protein that coordinates the assembly of an ENaC-regulatory complex (ERC) []. CNK3/IPCEF1 is required for hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)-dependent activation of Arf6 and HGF-stimulated cell migration []. |
