Casein Kinases (CKs), a family of ubiquitous Ser/Thr kinases, control a variety of cellular processes in eukaryotes, including the phosphorylation of proteins that are targets for degradation by the UPS. Casein kinase-1 (CK-1) and casein kinase-2 (CK-2) are two casein kinases that have been characterized from a variety of sources.
Mammals have at least seven different isoforms of CK1 kinases (α, β, γ1-3, δ, and ɛ), and these enzymes phosphorylate different substrates to participate in a variety of physiological processes including DNA repair, cell cycle progression, cytokinesis, differentiation, and apoptosis. A highly pleiotropic serine-threonine kinase called casein kinase 2 (CK2) phosphorylated more than 300 proteins, many of which are involved in the regulation of cellular processes like signal transduction, transcriptional control, apoptosis, and the cell cycle.
