Observations
A library of 200 constitutively activated kinases was screened in order to identify kinases whose constitutive expression decreased cell proliferation and induced expression of senescence markers; p16 and SASP components. A total of 33 kinases showed pro-senescence effects (particularly MAP3K7, PRKCD, and MATK); kinases with strong pro-senescence effects, induced expression of SASP-component genes (e.g. IL1A, IL1B, IL6 and IL8) through activation of an NF-kappaB-dependent transcriptional program. Inhibition of the NF-kappaB, p53, or Rb pathway proved insufficient to prevent kinase-triggered cell cycle arrest.

    Common name
    G protein-coupled receptor kinase 6 
    Entrez Id
    2870
    Description
    This gene encodes a member of the guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein)-coupled receptor kinase subfamily of the Ser/Thr protein kinase family. The protein phosphorylates the activated forms of G protein-coupled receptors thus initiating their deactivation. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
