Supplementary information

Glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta or GSK3 beta is a serine/threonine protein kinase that regulates various cellular processes. It is also referred to as GSK3B and has a molecular weight of approximately 47 kilodaltons (kDa). This enzyme is widely expressed in many tissues with notably high expression levels in the brain. Mechanically GSK3 beta phosphorylates target proteins affecting their activity stability and interactions with other proteins.
Biological function summary

As an important regulatory protein GSK3 beta plays a role in multiple cellular functions including metabolism cell cycle and cell signaling. It often interacts with components in signaling complexes and modulates the activity of these complexes involving phosphorylation. It is involved in the regulation of transcription factors such as c-Myc and β-catenin influencing cell fate and survival. This ability to modulate diverse functions highlights GSK3 beta's importance in cellular regulation.

Pathways

GSK3 beta participates in significant signaling pathways such as the Wnt/β-catenin and insulin signaling pathways. In the Wnt pathway GSK3 beta phosphorylates β-catenin marking it for degradation which regulates gene transcription. In insulin signaling it interacts with proteins like AKT to mediate glycogen synthesis. These interactions highlight its role in maintaining cellular homeostasis and energy balance.

GSK3 beta has implications in Alzheimer's disease and type 2 diabetes. It is associated with tau protein hyperphosphorylation and neurofibrillary tangles in Alzheimer's disease. In diabetes its role in insulin signaling impacts glucose metabolism. Further GSK3 beta's dysfunction relates to disrupted signaling related to these conditions positioning it as a potential therapeutic target.

Target data

Constitutively active protein kinase that acts as a negative regulator in the hormonal control of glucose homeostasis, Wnt signaling and regulation of transcription factors and microtubules, by phosphorylating and inactivating glycogen synthase (GYS1 or GYS2), EIF2B, CTNNB1/beta-catenin, APC, AXIN1, DPYSL2/CRMP2, JUN, NFATC1/NFATC, MAPT/TAU and MACF1 (PubMed : 11430833, PubMed : 12554650, PubMed : 14690523, PubMed : 16484495, PubMed : 1846781, PubMed : 20937854, PubMed : 9072970). Requires primed phosphorylation of the majority of its substrates (PubMed : 11430833, PubMed : 16484495). In skeletal muscle, contributes to insulin regulation of glycogen synthesis by phosphorylating and inhibiting GYS1 activity and hence glycogen synthesis (PubMed : 8397507). May also mediate the development of insulin resistance by regulating activation of transcription factors (PubMed : 8397507). Regulates protein synthesis by controlling the activity of initiation factor 2B (EIF2BE/EIF2B5) in the same manner as glycogen synthase (PubMed : 8397507). In Wnt signaling, GSK3B forms a multimeric complex with APC, AXIN1 and CTNNB1/beta-catenin and phosphorylates the N-terminus of CTNNB1 leading to its degradation mediated by ubiquitin/proteasomes (PubMed : 12554650). Phosphorylates JUN at sites proximal to its DNA-binding domain, thereby reducing its affinity for DNA (PubMed : 1846781). Phosphorylates NFATC1/NFATC on conserved serine residues promoting NFATC1/NFATC nuclear export, shutting off NFATC1/NFATC gene regulation, and thereby opposing the action of calcineurin (PubMed : 9072970). Phosphorylates MAPT/TAU on 'Thr-548', decreasing significantly MAPT/TAU ability to bind and stabilize microtubules (PubMed : 14690523). MAPT/TAU is the principal component of neurofibrillary tangles in Alzheimer disease (PubMed : 14690523). Plays an important role in ERBB2-dependent stabilization of microtubules at the cell cortex (PubMed : 20937854). Phosphorylates MACF1, inhibiting its binding to microtubules which is critical for its role in bulge stem cell migration and skin wound repair (By similarity). Probably regulates NF-kappa-B (NFKB1) at the transcriptional level and is required for the NF-kappa-B-mediated anti-apoptotic response to TNF (TNF/TNFA) (By similarity). Negatively regulates replication in pancreatic beta-cells, resulting in apoptosis, loss of beta-cells and diabetes (By similarity). Through phosphorylation of the anti-apoptotic protein MCL1, may control cell apoptosis in response to growth factors deprivation (By similarity). Phosphorylates MUC1 in breast cancer cells, decreasing the interaction of MUC1 with CTNNB1/beta-catenin (PubMed : 9819408). Is necessary for the establishment of neuronal polarity and axon outgrowth (PubMed : 20067585). Phosphorylates MARK2, leading to inhibition of its activity (By similarity). Phosphorylates SIK1 at 'Thr-182', leading to sustainment of its activity (PubMed : 18348280). Phosphorylates ZC3HAV1 which enhances its antiviral activity (PubMed : 22514281). Phosphorylates SNAI1, leading to its ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation (PubMed : 15448698, PubMed : 15647282, PubMed : 25827072, PubMed : 29059170). Phosphorylates SFPQ at 'Thr-687' upon T-cell activation (PubMed : 20932480). Phosphorylates NR1D1 st 'Ser-55' and 'Ser-59' and stabilizes it by protecting it from proteasomal degradation. Regulates the circadian clock via phosphorylation of the major clock components including BMAL1, CLOCK and PER2 (PubMed : 19946213, PubMed : 28903391). Phosphorylates FBXL2 at 'Thr-404' and primes it for ubiquitination by the SCF(FBXO3) complex and proteasomal degradation (By similarity). Phosphorylates CLOCK AT 'Ser-427' and targets it for proteasomal degradation (PubMed : 19946213). Phosphorylates BMAL1 at 'Ser-17' and 'Ser-21' and primes it for ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation (PubMed : 28903391). Phosphorylates OGT at 'Ser-3' or 'Ser-4' which positively regulates its activity. Phosphorylates MYCN in neuroblastoma cells which may promote its degradation (PubMed : 24391509). Regulates the circadian rhythmicity of hippocampal long-term potentiation and BMAL1 and PER2 expression (By similarity). Acts as a regulator of autophagy by mediating phosphorylation of KAT5/TIP60 under starvation conditions, activating KAT5/TIP60 acetyltransferase activity and promoting acetylation of key autophagy regulators, such as ULK1 and RUBCNL/Pacer (PubMed : 30704899). Negatively regulates extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway via death domain receptors. Promotes the formation of an anti-apoptotic complex, made of DDX3X, BRIC2 and GSK3B, at death receptors, including TNFRSF10B. The anti-apoptotic function is most effective with weak apoptotic signals and can be overcome by stronger stimulation (PubMed : 18846110). Phosphorylates E2F1, promoting the interaction between E2F1 and USP11, stabilizing E2F1 and promoting its activity (PubMed : 17050006, PubMed : 28992046). Phosphorylates mTORC2 complex component RICTOR at 'Ser-1235' in response to endoplasmic stress, inhibiting mTORC2 (PubMed : 21343617). Phosphorylates mTORC2 complex component RICTOR at 'Thr-1695' which facilitates FBXW7-mediated ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of RICTOR (PubMed : 25897075). Phosphorylates FXR1, promoting FXR1 ubiquitination by the SCF(FBXO4) complex and FXR1 degradation by the proteasome (By similarity). Phosphorylates interleukin-22 receptor subunit IL22RA1, preventing its proteasomal degradation (By similarity). Phosphorylates and inhibits the CTP synthase and protein-asparagine deamidase activities of CTPS1 (PubMed : 17681942). Phosphorylates DSP at multiple sequential serine residues in the C-terminus tail, promoting its recruitment to developing desmosome cell-cell junctions (PubMed : 25733715).
