Supplementary information

This supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.

Glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK3β) and glycogen synthase kinase 3 alpha (GSK3α) are serine/threonine protein kinases involved in various cellular processes. GSK3β weighs approximately 47 kDa while GSK3α is around 51 kDa. These proteins are expressed in various tissues including brain heart and liver. GSK3 isoforms act as key regulators in signaling pathways by phosphorylating target proteins affecting their function and stability. Alternative names for GSK3 include GSK-3β and GSK-3α respectively.
Biological function summary

The kinases play essential roles in cellular functions like glycogen metabolism cell cycle regulation and apoptosis. GSK3 proteins often function as part of larger enzyme complexes influencing cellular responses to external signals. They bind to numerous substrates impacting processes such as glucose homeostasis and neuron function. Dramatic changes in GSK3 activity can disrupt these biological processes highlighting their importance.

Pathways

These kinases are integral components of the Wnt/β-catenin and insulin signaling pathways. In the Wnt pathway GSK3 is involved in β-catenin phosphorylation affecting its degradation and transcriptional activity. In the insulin pathway GSK3 influences glycogen synthesis by phosphorylating and regulating glycogen synthase. Both pathways highlight how GSK3 interacts with other proteins such as adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) and axin to coordinate cellular activities.

GSK3 has links to conditions like Alzheimer's disease and diabetes mellitus. Dysregulation of GSK3 activity is observed in Alzheimer's disease where abnormal GSK3 signaling contributes to tau hyperphosphorylation and neurofibrillary tangle formation. In diabetes altered GSK3 function affects insulin signaling pathways influencing glucose metabolism. GSK3's involvement in these diseases often connects it to proteins like tau in Alzheimer's and insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1) in diabetes.

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), CTNNB1/beta-catenin, APC and AXIN1 (PubMed : 11749387, PubMed : 17478001, PubMed : 19366350). Requires primed phosphorylation of the majority of its substrates (PubMed : 11749387, PubMed : 17478001, PubMed : 19366350). Contributes to insulin regulation of glycogen synthesis by phosphorylating and inhibiting GYS1 activity and hence glycogen synthesis (PubMed : 11749387, PubMed : 17478001, PubMed : 19366350). Regulates glycogen metabolism in liver, but not in muscle (By similarity). May also mediate the development of insulin resistance by regulating activation of transcription factors (PubMed : 10868943, PubMed : 17478001). In Wnt signaling, regulates the level and transcriptional activity of nuclear CTNNB1/beta-catenin (PubMed : 17229088). Facilitates amyloid precursor protein (APP) processing and the generation of APP-derived amyloid plaques found in Alzheimer disease (PubMed : 12761548). May be involved in the regulation of replication in pancreatic beta-cells (By similarity). Is necessary for the establishment of neuronal polarity and axon outgrowth (By similarity). Through phosphorylation of the anti-apoptotic protein MCL1, may control cell apoptosis in response to growth factors deprivation (By similarity). Acts as a regulator of autophagy by mediating phosphorylation of KAT5/TIP60 under starvation conditions which activates KAT5/TIP60 acetyltransferase activity and promotes 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 (By similarity). Phosphorylates mTORC2 complex component RICTOR at 'Thr-1695' which facilitates FBXW7-mediated ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of RICTOR (PubMed : 25897075).
