Supplementary information

MST also known as Mammalian Sterile 20-like kinase or STK3 is a serine/threonine kinase with a molecular mass of about 60 kDa. MST is expressed in various tissues including the brain liver and skeletal muscle. This kinase functions mechanically by phosphorylating downstream substrates exerting control over cell proliferation apoptosis and cytoskeletal reorganization. Alternate names like 3-MST also exist which can sometimes lead to confusion regarding its precise identity among similar kinases.
Biological function summary

MST plays a significant role in the regulation of the Hippo signaling pathway particularly as a core component of the MST kinase complex. This complex interacts with several other proteins to control organ size and suppress tumor development by regulating the balance between cell division and apoptosis. MST kinases exert influence on cell cycle checkpoints and promote cellular apoptosis aiding in the maintenance of tissue homeostasis.

Pathways

MST proteins are essential within the Hippo signaling pathway and are integrally involved in modulating the MAPK pathway. MST interacts with proteins like LATS1/2 activating them to help mediate the phosphorylation of downstream effectors including YAP and TAZ in the Hippo pathway. These interactions lead to transcriptional changes that govern cell proliferation and apoptosis highlighting MST's role in ensuring proper cellular responses to external and internal stimuli.

MST dysregulation is closely linked to cancers and neurodegenerative diseases. In cancer MST's inability to regulate cell growth can result in uninhibited cell proliferation as seen in hepatocellular carcinoma where MST's interaction with YAP becomes dysfunctional. In neurodegenerative disorders particularly Alzheimer's disease pathways involving MST and related proteins such as MARK may contribute to pathological tau hyperphosphorylation leading to neuronal damage. Understanding MST's relation to these diseases aids in targeting therapeutic interventions.

Target data

Transfer of a sulfur ion to cyanide or to other thiol compounds. Also has weak rhodanese activity. Detoxifies cyanide and is required for thiosulfate biosynthesis. Acts as an antioxidant. In combination with cysteine aminotransferase (CAT), contributes to the catabolism of cysteine and is an important producer of hydrogen sulfide in the brain, retina and vascular endothelial cells. Hydrogen sulfide H(2)S is an important synaptic modulator, signaling molecule, smooth muscle contractor and neuroprotectant. Its production by the 3MST/CAT pathway is regulated by calcium ions.
